Subject: Could the Covenant take down Onyx Sentinels?

After reading the book "Ghost of Onyx" I laugh at the Spartans not being able to take down Onyx Sentinels but I'm thinking when the Covenant fleet came, with all that plasma fire and such, was that enough to take down the sentinels?

Well after reading Ghost of Onyx it's pretty clear that it ultimately wasn't as the Covenant fleet got routed by the Sentinels of Onyx...

Yea but what about what the Golden Elite said? They claimed to have defeated the Sentinel guardians of that system, but I see what you meant, Sentinel after Sentinel being made every 6 seconds, I can see how the Covenant was overwhelmed.

i guess, but it would have taken far too much time and resources to make it worthwhile. One must remember that the sentinels took the covenant by surprise.

Difference between ground soldiers with limited intelligence about the enemy and gear, and an incoming battle fleet.

A Covenant ship can take on a few loners or small groups.

Once the sentinels get past a grouping of 45, however, any single Covie ship is screwed.

But once the whole planet gets pissed off and its several trillion sentinels, well....anything's screwed.
