Sure they are footsoldiers,but they could add dialog from the spacebattle in the game or shows airbattles above your head.
Look at star wars battlefront II,you see massive battle above and around you,why couldn't bungie do that in Reach to show a full invasion on large scale.
And the solace level,there was nothing good except some glassed citys and the end of the cutscene.
They could have shows the UNSC fleet in orbit in a cutscene,just like Halo 2.
And you can see the UNSC navy in Halo 2.
Opening cutscene,you see patrol ships and ODP's
The covie fleet arrives,the fleet prepares to fight.
The bomb cutscene,you see dozens of UNSC ships.
The cutscene opening Halo 2 was not that impressive, you see like maybe two ODPs and like three ships drifting past your view. In Battlefront II you only see a capitol ship for the two factions looming in the sky and that's all it shows.
The Solace was in the middle of nowhere, the only UNSC force nearby was the stuff at Anchor 9, and you still had to fly a good distance to the Solace from there. And no, the Solace wouldn't see the Saber's land on the Prayer, the distance they were from each other was extreme, you can only barely see the Solace when you're outside, I wouldn't have been able to see anything going on around the Ardent Prayer other than the fight between Savannah and Prayer, if I could see anything at all.
No this game portrays them as the largest retards insciencefiction.
One of their retard behavior:
-the UNSC didn't evacuated civilians,they jsut tried to keep it a secret for no reason.
-The brigde crew of the supercarrier were so drunk that they couldn't even notice that their corvette is being boarded and attacked,did they ever heard of radars?
-Reach hasn't any nukes????As Carter said.
..
...
I didn't felt the hopeleness in this game because bungie didn't portrayed it good.
But the last levels were great.
-And it still took weeks for the covie navy to break though the inferior UNSC fleet,those corvettes seems to be the ones who were already on Reach.
20 ODP's aren't enough.One covenant ship is a match for 3 UNSC ships,and the UNSC fleet was already outnumbered.And i think that all ODp's were destroyed before the "main fleet" came in,because it seems that a single supercarrier wrecked havoc with the UNSC fleet.If it didn't then where was the UNSC fleet during solace?
Which battles?Last time i checked the only spacebattles the UNSC won was when the UNSC outnumbered the covies,but it still led to heavy casualities at the UNSC side.
1.They were evacuating civilians, did you not play the level Exodus? They've been evacuating New Alexandria for at least five days, what, do you think they're going get them all out instantly? Evacuating such a large city as New Alexandria would take many, many, many days.
2.See above section dealing with the LNoS.
3.That is a weak point yes, but one weak point does not make the entire story suck, and that is pretty much the only one. They could have used something else to destroy the LNoS, but the Slipspace "bomb" was pretty awesome.
That's just your opinion then, 'cause I felt the utter hopelessness, I almost didn't want to play because it was depressing.
4.We're not in space, we don't know when the orbital defense were finally lost, and it's not impossible for a couple ships to break through the defenses.
Yes, I know that's what the books say, and that is how about what the odds were at Reach, there aproximately 314 Covie ships, and I think a little more than half as many UNSC ships, the same odds as all the other recorded fights, plus the SMACs, the odds are basically even, that is a fight that should have dragged out for a while, even if the generators got knocked out the UNSC ships should hold their own, especially with such brilliant minds as Captain mother--blam!- Keyes at Reach.
No, all the Super Carrier did was engage the ground forces and lay waste to the Viery Territory and all forces there, and then it was going up into space, and the LNoS mission happened before it could do anything to the Home Fleet. Why send multiple ships to attack it and probably their asses handed to them when you're going to use Operation Uppercut?
The Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, the Battles of Harvest, to name what I know, there might be more, I haven't read every scrap of Halo material I can find yet.
