Concerning Condemned, when you were in space it was before the space battle, and you weren't near the defenses lol. Anyway concerning planet being glassed, I noticed how it seemed overdone, I didn't think glassing caused the planet to glow like that <_<.
The time that Condemned takes place is at about the end of the Fall of Reach ( The actual battle ). The Planet is still heated and covered in glass molten as the glassing process hasn't been completed.
the Covie ships can galss one acre of land per 15 seconds of Projected Energy beam fire. It would take years to Glass all of Reach.
The way Bungie showed reach glassed looked much better.
I disagree. Bungie completely nerfed Covenant glassing power. They turned it from, "The covenant can glass entire planets within days" to "It would take 20 years of 100 ships to glass one planet lol."
It completely ruins much of what we've been told before. The Covenant show up. Glass the planet leaving it completely devoid of life, then they move on. It's they always did, with few exceptions. Hell, ONE ship. ONE. COVENANT. SHIP. Nearly wiped out Harvest until massive reinforcements arrived.
Glassing now is pathetic. I hope the "datapads" aren't considered canon in 343's eyes, much as how they have slightly disregarded the Halo 3 Terminals.
Again, see my above post. No one said this was the case. Assembly was talking only based on one year of war and operating under the preconception that we could fight the Covenant.
As it stands, the Assembly was wrong. The end of the campaign and Condemned (along with the rest of the Halo canon) prove this.
