in this pic, it shows earth. But on the surface, there are what seem to be numerous nucular explosions. Now, are these HAVOK nukes going off, or the covies glassing certain areas?

if it was plasma wouldnt it be blue, or like dark red or sumit? like a giant nade.

maybe it is nukes and the humans are firering them in defence. wipeing out large amounts of covie ground troops.

i dunno could be anything.

Who knows? It could be a number of possibilities. Perhaps the Covenant are actually attempting to target certain nuclear facities and make such as explosions.

Maybe they are trying to destroy all nuclear facilities before the humans get the chance of using nuclear weaponry on the Covenant.

Its like in fall of reach(the book of course).The Master Chief set off the nuke in Cote-d'Azur,they're mission was to wipe out the covenant anyway they could(but not sacrificing civilians).My point is the UNSC will do whatever it takes to kill the covenant even if it means destroying they're own citys.

Well, droping Nuclear missile from outspace...In actuality that would be impossible since our atmosphere would problably break it up. But in thier case, there alloy would have to be impervious to extream heat. That would only leave them with the problem that our Earth rotates and dosn't stay stationary. In order to deal with that they would have to caculate the speed at which they drop the missile with the speed at which the Earth turns. But thats if you wan't to be technical, but hey, they do use forrunner technology. In the Original trailer wasn't it mentioned that Washinton was targeted?

It's plasma torpedos and volleys. Covies dont have nukes. Not all Plasma is blue, it glows red hot from the heat before it's launched.

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

I personally think that it is just to show off some of the graphics and power of (even the early builds). But if that's not the case, the Humans might be just using them to take out the Covenant as they land where they are in large groups. At least then they could possibly be able to hold them off for a while.
