well....me and some of my friedns would somehow beat down an elite, kidnapp? him, tie him down, then play through all of the halo games in order to show that we arent the enemy... thye flood is...then i will get some kind of epic armour from the military and go on an ass-kicking spree with the arbiter(or their equivalent) and save the universe!!!

i have thought this through many a time

Thanks to this man, we could pass his ideas down to the 2500's, and when we get attacked; we play Halo with Elites.

You saved us all.

By the prophets...
this may just work.

Clearly the only way to win is to get a nuke inside it while it is shooting, independence day style.

We EMP there assault carriers shields, then nuke it.

simple.


Do you realize how big that ship is? Over 27Km long, it takes 3 MAC rounds to burst it's shields, then another 3 to burst through the armor, If a simple EMP would have worked, we would have done that, and Nuclear weapons? That is nothing, MAC round stations are much stronger yet it takes a few shots to bring them down. Even a TSAR wouldn't do much good.


If you havn't noticed in halo games, the navy arn't the smartest and half the technology in the game is outdated by our own modern day times.

A couple of our own modern day jets could probably easily take down a frigate lolololol. so yes I do beleive our modern day military could give a assault carrier a good run provided they came to ground and didn't just glass us first.


Frigate goes into space. What do the fighters do?

A Covenant supercarrier and its escorts, or even a UNSC fleet, would finish current day Earth with ease.

Error 404:
-Error not found.

If that happened, we might as well not fight back, how do you hold out?
We'd be lucky to pull out more than twenty elites!

But if that happened, I'd go and -blam!- every girl I see.

I like Halo games, nuff said.

You see, I do not doubt we have the combined firepower to blow a Super carrier out of orbit. The largest nuclear powers could, under the correct circumstances launch >30,000 nuclear ICBMs at the carrier. No amount of point-defense is going to stop them all.

Just right here we need saturn V to send them in orbit.

Keep in mind that all governments all around the world keeps secrets. We could have a Transformer and an All Spark under Hoover Dam for all we know. I'm pretty sure the U.S has some sorta secret weapon of mass destruction.

What we could do to the Super Carrier depends entirely on its position.

Do note in all cases, It would take time for the Various Nuclear powers with Missiles to actually Target the Carrier. ICBM's and SLBM's are hard to retarget, with the Failsafes and such in place, its a time consuming thing to do.


High Orbit: Not much we can do. Any Nuke strike is doomed to failure, not only is there the posibility the Carrier's PD can down a Nuke spam before it gets close, Most Misilles won't have the range, and Its Hard to try and hit a moving target in space.

Low Orbit: Much like High Orbit, but the Chances of a couple of nukes hitting is slightly better. Still likely not to do anything.

Atmosphere: Here we can break out every bomb worth noting, from the Lowly tac Nukes to every one of the Bigger bombs. While it would still take time to Retarget the ICBMS, if the Big 5 can play their cards right, they can get the nukes to hit around the same time. To cover for the Nukes, an Air strike running interferance would help greatly, even if it was suicidal. While the chance of actually downing the thing is still rather slim, this Offers the best chance to bring our weapons to bear.


If the Ship master is a cocky bastard and trys landing his forces, the millitaries of the world have a turkey shoot. Basicly every Weapon and Vehicle the Modern world has is better than their UNSC counter part, short of the Longsword and the Pelican, and thats because we don't have Space superiority Fighters and Dropships yet. Our MBT's Main gun is larger than that of the Scorpions by a considerable margin, and is not designed by artists who have little idea why our tanks are designed not to horribly expose thier crews. Things like the Scarab can be taken out in short order by Gunships of every make and size, from the Little Bird to Hinds. Those Gunships could probably take out the Banshees and Covenant Dropships while they are at it. The Seraphs would be a bit of a problem, but enough missiles should solve the those problems.

But at the End of the Day, its that carrier that will decide the Victory for the Covenant.

After humanity has tried everything, that will be the time to don the War paint and armour, grabing the nearest heavy sharp object, and give proper Prayers to the Khorne.

I'll remain a soldier until the war is won.

I think that after the initial devistation and destruction wrought by the Super Carrier, we would most likely end up useing gurilla tacticts. IE, roadside bombs, homemade bombs, ambushes, Snipers, Traps, and other such techniqes.

I would like to think that sombody on earth has some sort of plan that would be put into motion for such an event.

If it where me on the ground, id tell my boys to focus on the Grunts and Jackles first as they provide the most fire. Elites are strong but you can take them down if you gang up on them, its much easier to do that if all of its support troops are dead.

As for the Seraphs, i think that we'd be able to hold our own for awhile, useing SAM missles and the like. Our fly boys would be able to handle a few of them, but eventualy we would surcumb.

Over all i think that we'd somehow be able to defeat the super carrier. But at the cost of 100's of millions of lives.

The only thing I don't agree with you is the Scarab being taken down by a gunship, let's use an AC-130 for example, have you seen the Cutscene's in Halo 2? Scarabs can rapid fire a Pelican down in 2 seconds with it's top gun, not to mention it's extremely powerful front beam. As it was said in Halo 2 "50 Cal, Rockets, didn't do a thing."

And yet one can take a scarab down with the lowly frankly horribly designed hornet, let alone the undergunned scorpion.

I'd fight... I'm -blam!- anyway... Ill just hope to be sliced in two by a elite rather than slowly melted by plasma

GROSSMAN: Do you think of the Culture as a utopia? Would you live in it, if you could?

BANKS: Good grief yes, to both! What's not to like? ...Well, unless you're actually a fascist or a power junkie or sincerely believe that money rather than happiness is what really matters in life. And even people with those bizarre beliefs are catered for in the Culture, albeit in extreme-immersion VR environments.

KOTOR

Join them. Why waste my time dying, when I could be seeing the galaxy for free? Space Travel is intriguing, and seeing as we're not reclaimers/related to anything forerunner, the covenant wouldn't open fire as soon as they saw us. Just think, with humanities' combined cunning and thinking outside the box abilities, we could replace the Elites in 20 or so years. Sure, there'd be some people who didn't join the Covenant, but they'd be eradicated while the intelligent among us travel into a glorious new age of technology and space exploration...

If we found a species that was claimed to be Reclaimers by Mendicant Bias, we would think back to the Halo games of our childhood, and side with the reclaimers. Hopefully the Elites would also see through the prophets' lies and corruption and fight alongside us.

Food for thought.

All roads lead to Sol.

If we find them Hostile i'm going to take the Nuke inside their shields and blow them to smithereens.

But if you meant the Covenant Armada, then we're -blam!- hands down.
