With the spartans, we are the best on earth. In space, we lose.

LOL, right when you said that I thought of how the Covenant tore right through Reach's defenses.

well yea see, the covie can warp into space with something called sliptream space they tear a hole into space and just go into it. we can do the same thing but the only problem is we cant make presise jumps they can. So imagne sudenly 100 ships surronding your 50 ships there ships are equited with more powerful weaponds and they have sheilds and we dont so what are the odds? we do have orbital gunns but it dosnt take them long to rip through them either.

Covie can destroy them from space, and then, they send little covie plane on earth, and then they destroy the big guns remaining. That must be it.

the humans have these badass cannons called MAC guns that basically shoot a tungsten bullet at unbelievable speeds at the covanent. human ships have them and they have them in orbital guns (huge ones) but sadly the humans are outnumbered, so the ships get ripped up and the generators for the orbital MACs gets taken out by covies on the ground.

"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've always wondered...the Human ships seem to be able to hold of for a while against an attack with the Covenant, of course with the MACs, but if they had the MJOLNIR shields, they could actually be effective, picking their shots, using the MACs effectively. I think it could work. But your question...yeah, Reach just got swarmed, the Covies found a hole in the defense, and blasted the remaining generators. That's about it, but didn't Earth have like three defense rings compared to Reach's one?

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

This is an proposed placement of MACs around Earth using Lagrange points and military planning.
