You mentioned a "blast radius", but in fact, a nuke in space would produce no shock wave and only produce a limited EMP.Here is some information on ze subject.
wait,wait,wait....you're saying that, just because it can't happen in real life, it cant happen in Halo?
Well according to dlusional ME fanboy logic (and I am quite famiar with them) if it can't happen in RL it can't happen in fiction! Of course the fact that their entire tech is based on magic is conviently ignored...
When it has been proven to happen countless times, especially in the case of NOVA?
In the ME universe nukes are like that and he already tried to apply ME rules in Halo (with the lasers) I'm not suprised he's doing it again...
Fine, then eezo doesn't exist. all of ME's ships are sitting ducks, the UNSC comes in and wrecks the whole defense fleet.
Not just their ships, their weapons don't work too! Every frakking weapon they use!
Seriously, you cant say that. If its possible on one universe it can happen in both; I know Halo's not perfectly realistic, but at least it doesn't have magical elements.
ME's side always says things like that in VS discussions...
Actually Halo is one of the most realstic Sci-Fi universes I have ever seen...
And I realize ME's ships are fast, but with an AI at the controls of a MAC, he/she might as well be able to hit a Longsword at full speed with one. In the history of Halo, only one time was it ever recorded an AI missed a MAC shot, and that was because his target caused a detonation, sending his ship sideways out of the way.
Especially after AIs crack their tactics (probably in around 30s). The problem that we have with this is that ME's side fails to understand a Halo AI is superior to their best AIs...
The Prowlers pulse lasers must also be considered. They fire at light speed and bypass kinetic barriers.
And there's basically no armor under the barriers. But since ME lasers suck it means Halo's do too! -_-
Archer and nuclear missiles have target tracking, so you can't really dodge them.
Some people in this thread seem to fail what a guided missle means, especially if its guided by a frakking AI!
GARDIAN defenses would be overhwelmed prety quick, since they couldn't hold out against around 100 geth misiles, UNSC ships are capable of firing thousands or Archers at once, Citadel ships will be forced to shoot them down with the GARDIANs, those crappy lasers will overheat and then UNSC will luanch their nukes, if the Archers that broke through didn't destroyed the ships already.
I can think of innumeral reasons why the UNSC could win, at least one case where they need not even fight (NOVA).
The other one is that UNSC has a real war machine and is not lead by a bunch of politicians who really enjoy exploring their asses with their heads...
I still see no reason as to why this arguement continues.
Neither do I, but I know why it still continues, I don't think I have to tell you that...
in the case of the Citadel attacking UNSC space, the SMAC guns have the firepower and speed to turn the mightiest ME dreadnaught to dust. Literally, at 56 gigatons per shot, and ME's ships capable of taking hurt only in the kiloton ranges, the shear power of the strike would turn it to dust.
Well Longswords with SHIVAs already have enough firepower to turn "mightiest" ME Dreadnoughts to dust...
[quote]Hell, it can turn two Covie ships to shrapnel and one more into a burning dead hulk with one shot anyway. And they won't be dodging a 4% the speed of light as well.
I'm pretty sure a SMAC shot will gut Reapers too...
[quote]And like Xhalavor said, if the Seperatists are taken into account (technically UNSC allies) the games over, with the ME having no shield defense against energy.
Well the Citadel Fleet is made out of 3 species, 4 if you count the xeno-loving Star Trek humans so basically they are all allied with each other, just as UNSC and the Seperatists, imagine the massive stomp then...
Major on the console: Citadel ships, unorganized line. Shipmaster! They outnumber us, 5:1!
Rtas: This is not an even fight, for them then *chuckle* All cruisers fire at will, burn their various hides! *pushes a button* To all UNSC forces, happy nuking!
