What I don't understand is why the Covie didn't just fly all their ships onto Earth and then jump right out again. Then they could return for a full assault, made easier by the fact that everything is in ruins from the slipspace jumps.Did you not pay attention to the games, or something?
What are you implying? They never do anything like this again.
And by full assault, I mean on all Earth, not just Mombassa, if thats what you mean.The trailers for Halo 2 lead us to believe that the Covenant wanted to destroy Earth, while the game actually showed that they were only looking for something, whether they knew about the portal or not. That's why they never attacked the whole planet, they only wanted what it had.
Edit - I reread what you posted and fully understood it now, but Regret jumping like that was out of pure fear. Nobody has ever attempted a slipspace jump like that because no one knew the results of it, as far as I believe.
