Why the UNSC?
The UN is about the weakest, most ineffective and pathetic entity I've ever seen. That they actually could even unify the world in a something a tiny bit higher than complete anarchy/distopia/bureacratic nightmare is laughauble.
That they can do it for hundreds of years, more so.
That they can effectively fight an alien empire, Hilarious.

I mean, Bungie should've made something up so it could at least be plausible.

Hell, at least NATOSC.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Yes, it would have been extremely hard to unite all the countries on Earth plus the other planets, but it is possible. God was on their side. For the first ten years after the United States declared independence, they had no military. They were still recovering from fighting the British. A foreign country could have easily taken them over. It's just one of those things where simpy God was on their side and it was a miracle it worked out. This is what happened when the UNSC actually worked out.

Your simple, if not odd, friend whose ideology makes the nearest American conservative scream bloody murder. A gun-waving Socialist who hates backwardness.

Look for the gamertag, Soviet Strelet, to find my pwn-tage creations of doom. Can't connect my bloody Xbox because of personal issues outside of my control.

Thats about it, other than that... uhhh, I.... uhhh, hmmm. I can fly?

.... Quick! Captain Dumb*** away!!!

It would seem that the world somehow managed to unit itself under a common banner. But I have noticed that throughout the game that their is a strong, "Be happy or else" section in the idea of the UNSC that is named ONI. So it would seem that everyone is "Happy" but those who aren't don't last long in the society.

Just a thought. Or theory.

However, God does not choose to help a fictional faction.
The point is Bungie, what a completely implausible choice it was.

Uniting humanity is easy. It'll happen sooner or later. It will NEVER get united by something like the UN.

Who said it was the UN that brought them together?

It's thousands of years in the future, anything could have happened, the UN could have become a highly militarized empire that dictatorial took over earth.

It could have been a powerful basically took over earth and labeled itself the "UN" to appease the population.

The fact that there is a UN in the beginning of the UNSC doesn't mean anything, and has nothing to do with today's UN.

Only 500 years in the future, not thousands, but I agree for the most part with this statement.

Who said they were all happy happy joy joy? And who the -blam!- said they were effectively fighting the covies?

Except not everyone was unified. Hence the insurrection.

WOW, you are seriously sad to be posting this and trying to pick a fight :O

Why not? They all set aside their differences and looked to the stars.

"Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy, We are the enemies of reality"

basically what the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) is, is an emergency militaristic governing body given control when things go awry (ie. when the War started). it DOES have its roots in the United Nations of the real world.

Canadian Na­zism is a polite ideology, ok?
"Into the boxcar now... there you go. Oh, watch your head. Here, let me help you... Yep, showers are right through there. No problem at all."

The UN now would not be the same as the UN in the future. All that good storyline that's inbetween now and the actual games pretty much explains how the UNSC rose to power. Also, it's pretty clear your biased against the UN anyways.
