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.
-That's your opinion that the Halo 2 scenes weren't impressive.But the fact is they showed us a fleet ,they showed many ships.
-Johnson says that Earth is defended by 300 ODP's
-Like you said in the opening scene,we only see few ODP's and ships.But at least they show us that Earth has some defenses.We also can't ignore the fact that the Halo 2 engine can't show many ships at the same time,Reach should have been able to do so.
-Ceremony cutscene,you see like +80 UNSC ships on a computer screen ready to engage the covies,afterwards you see longswords and cruisers flying past
-Bomb cutscene:around 20 UNSC ship in space
Halo 2 showed enough,they could have give us more impressive things in Reach but they didn't.Now,noobs will think that Reach is some weak colony.
Battlfront II showed alot of things,ground battles on geonosis or Kasyyk,dogfights and starships above you head,explosions around the battlefield and that was just a game with a weaker engine then Reach.
-Yes,but the solace was just sitting there and didn't helped the corvette,unless their radar is broken.Retarded ship master.
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.
1.No,why didn't they start evacuating on the 24th of June.Instead of that they waited too long till the main fleet arrived,the result is that millions of civilians have died.
2.They have radars,they wouldn't be travelling in space with just their naked eyes.They should have destroyed the savannah and send more serpah reinforcements,instead they seemed to be blind.The solace didn't knew that the ardent was attacked,as said by one of the pilots.
3.Yes it was awesome,but that quote was still stupid as hell.
Carter could have said that nukes are pwoerful enough to pentrate the shields.
-Yes,it could have been done better.But really half of the game wasn't about hopeleness.Except that later levels.
-Brilliant commanders or not,the UNSC would have needed fleet of 600+ UNSC ships to defeat a 314 strong covie fleet(excluding the SMAC's).
-I think that nearly most the UNSC fleet had been obliterated by the supercarrier,because carter said that the ships carrying the nukes went down.Every UNSC ship has nukes,seems like the solace beat the -blam!- out of the fleet.
-Those were battle where the UNSC had outnumbered the covenant fleet,but still had many loses.There had never been a battle where a smaller UNSC fleet destroyed a larger covie fleet unless nova bomb ,reactor explosion or keyes were involved with.
