I said they could take several MAC shots, not Super MAC's, pay attention.
A Super MAC would rip clean through as they are 9x times stronger.
My my....do you ever remember what you've posted in this thread. Take a step back and look at what you've said so far, particularly in regards to your first bit as this is where the talk of Super MAC's come in.

Several Reasons why they didn't use them.
A Super Carrier is massive, 27km long, with Shields that could take several MAC shots, even if it were to punch through, it hardly would do much damage to the whole ship.
The underlined "them" being your reference to the MAC guns followed by your first bit of reasoning conclusion in bold. What is there to take from your first reason than that you assume the MAC stations would also fair no better against the super carrier.
I responded by saying you had no proof to substantiate your claims that the MAC platforms would have no effect on a super carrier.

Concerning the first, go back to Fall of Reach, Page 359, a Super Carrier just beamed the Herodotus clean through with its beam-like weapon. Go on to 361, She took 3 MAC shots, and 500 Missiles, then the shields rippled and several missiles struck her hull, Cortana told Keyes "Minimal Damage".
Irrelevant to the point at hand on whether or not the Super MACs would do damage to the super carrier. Sure it's proof in that it does take several normal MAC rounds among other things to break through the shields, but again it does nothing to tie the connection between that and the Super MACs effectiveness against the carrier.
Now you say this while I was in the middle of creating this post:

A Super MAC would rip clean through as they are 9x times stronger, but apparently, they were under attack by the time the Carrier was discovered. Assuming they were still under attack or damaged by the time Long night of Solace took place or began moving into position.
Canon at this point is horrible, don't bother attempting to merge Fall of Reach with Halo: Reach.
Right.... the point being contested, that first point, has absolutely nothing to do with merging the Fall of Reach and what happens in Halo Reach in canon. You start off your first post by saying that one of the reasons the platforms can't be used is because the carrier is far too powerful, then try to prove your point with irrelevant proof, now you're doing an about face. Don't try and weasel your way out of what you've said like with all the other times in this forum.

They're in Reach. One of the new maps is on an orbital MAC gun. If I'm not mistaken.

No it's not. It takes place on the station that had the Circumference docked on it. Johnson's squad was garrisoned on it, and that's where Blue team's mission took place at. It wasn't a MAC station.
