(see my plan on bottom of page two, or top of 3) unfortanutely, my english to blarg dictionary has been misplaced, so getting te point across that he needs to tell his prophets to come see also might be a problem...

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


Also note that some guy did a comparison of our modern US military's weapons compared to UNSC's.

Statistically, with factors such as range, bullet size, magazine size and accuracy taken into account, the UNSC's weapons are actually superior.

If by a slight margin, but nonetheless.

Also you must realize the UNSC needed easy to mass produce weapons as fast as possible. Same goes with vehicles.

I just play for fun. MLG can kiss my ass.

At our current tech level, we are so dead. At the Halo tech level we have a slight chance to defeat them, provided we use our brains. At the Covie tech level, we would have equal footing. At Forerunner level, we'd blast them from here to the galactic core. So, if a super carrier shows up now, we should probably try to nuke them and then surrender if that fails.

I am a practicing traditional Catholic.

We would just...die. Seriously, we wouldn't stand a chance against the Covenant. If you read the books, it takes an immense amount of firepower to take down one of their ships with UNSC space craft and that's when were more advanced than we are now. So we'd die. Miserably. Horribly. Very dead.

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 think they would beg the halo fanbase for help

i would have to agree to the plan. it would work. but elites are way stronger than us. just one elite would throw us through a wall. they could just punch through our body and we would bleed to death in like 5 seconds, if we didnt die from impact. plus if they just had a corvete, they could wipe out one country, and move on to the next and within a week the whole world population would be close to zero, there would probably be a few left. but they would find the rest and either kill them, or enslave them. and thats if we dont do anything. if we attacked, we might take out about half of a corvetes crew. but we would be annhilated by the end of the week. if we surrendered, they might take us and have us as part of the covenant. but if they didnt take us, we would be back at the rest of the outcomes. but if we captured like 20 elites and played the whole halo series with them watching, they would either get pissed off at us when we killed the first elite, or they would see the lies in the prophets and rebel against them. then we would have the most powerful and loyal and awesomest species of the covenant on our side. they might even lend a fleet of ships to us. if that happens, we just might be able to wipe out the covenant and live with the elites.

I don't think there are any official numbers, but scaling from smaller ships that we do have some numbers for puts the maximum possible capacity in the millions. If you believe the 27 km number, it should be possible.

If there wasn't anything they wanted, from us, I assume they would just glass us.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

We send in Chuck Norris.

Dang, got beat to it. Well we fight long and hard, and fire every missile and nuke we have, I'm pretty sure that would do some damage. The whole Air Force and every other flying vehicle we have would also help.

We have no chance. Covies would utterly destroy us. Our best small arms would just bounce off their armor(if we even got through their shields!)[source:Halo Wars "Monsters" cutscene]
And our air fleets would be oblitorated by banshees, spirits, seraphs, phantoms, and vampires. Our heavy ground veichles wouldn't stand a chance compared to the Covenants. And 10mil ground troops is way to much for us to handle.

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Call Iran. Have them send every nuke they have into the air. Even a Super Carrier couldn't withstand that many nukes.
