Red Alert is a successful troll, in being unsuccessful.
Roberto jh laid out some basic ground rules, excluding all superweapons from both sides (Forerunner and Precursor were on that list, since they are "Iwin" factions).
It was UNSC/Covenant vs Empire. Then, someone came in, ignored all posts, said, "Precursor > all" and ended the discussion that could have gone ssomewhere.
So can we please go back to UNSC/Covenant vs Empire, no superweapons involved on either side?
SW vs HALO
Halo wins because of Flood, Forerunners and Precursors.
Star Wars fans deem it unfair for Halo to win so they exclude the best of Halo.
That's like booting the guy in the lead in a custom game
because he's so good.
What happened to that last post of yours 2 pages ago? You lied to yourself, how sad.
Empire has more than enough power to deal with the Forerunner. Forerunner weapons, appear to be little more than homing energy blades, slow to fire and charge, and not terribly effective against a large number of troops.
I also see Forerunner tactics involving Infantry in small numbers, with no vehicle or close air support, they seem to follow the tactic of bombardment + mop up, essentially, WW1 tactics that didn't even work at the time.
"After exhausting every tactical strategy..."
If Forerunner can't take down Flood, that is simply sad.
Forerunner firepower is tricky to gauge, they were able to cut through Flood creatures without much more ease than Covenant or UNSC. Their ships firing on the planet in Halo Legends puts their firepower per shot, per combined ship fleet at roughly, MAYBE a single turbolaser level. But the Empire's ships can fire each of their many, many guns with 1-2 seconds in between shots, rather than 5-10 for their entire ship.
The flood? These kinds of parasitic creatures aren't unheard of to the Empire, they've faced, defeated, and have even created their own. The Empire would have an understanding of how the flood works based on their experiences with similar creatures and the Yuuzhan Vong, and would have little trouble with them as they know that to eliminate them you have to react fast.
Precursors cannot be brought into this fight. NOTHING is known on them aside from the prisoners word. Once book 2 comes out and information is told on them, then you can mention them. Besides, If Empire can beat Forerunner fairly easy, I'm sure they would be able to handle Precursors.
-First of all the Empire is outnumbered by a single Forerunner querentaine fleet:
pg 144
The sensor images were impressive and strange. I had
never seen a quarantined steller system before. Such capa-
bilities were rarely displayed to young Builders. A planetary
system is mostly empty, even the greatest of worlds being lost
- page 144 -
in the immensity of billions of kilometers of space. Like their
former human allies, the San'Shyuum had evolved on a
water-rich world not far from a yellow star, within a temper-
ate zone that allowed only a narrow range of weather. Now,
however, ten thousand years after their defeat, the system
was surround by trillions of vigilants that constantly wove
in and out of space-time, sometimes so rapidly that they
seemed to shape a soild sphere. This sphere extended to a
distance of four hundred million kilometers from the star,
and thus did not encompass four impressive gas giants whose
orbit lay beyond that limit.
Imagine the rest of their Navy.
I'm sorry to dissapoint you but Forerunner exoskeltons (AKA war sphinxes and seekers)have the ability to destroy entire continents.
You probably got that info from legends did you?Those combat skins seen in legends are even used by civilians and contain their own AI's.
Threat of star wars on ground to the Forerunners=zero
They can even destroy the crust of a planet.
What da -blam!-,you realise that episode is at the point of view of a near rampant cortana so all fights you see weren't real just like how the flood infected Earth and covie homeworlds.
pg 197
The atmosphere below was a swirling soup of smoke and
fire. Warrior craft and automated weapon systems were
mostly to small to be visible, but I saw their effects - darting
beams of needle light, glowing arcs cutting across conti-
nents, gigantic, stamplike divots punched into the crust and
then lifted up, spun about, overturned. I had never seen
anything like this - but the Didact had.
This quote shows Forerunner ground forces destroying continents and even the crust.
Don't underestimate the Flood.
How about instead of making stupid assumptions ,why not do some research on Cryptym.Do you live under a rock?A single Forerunner ship destroyed a ring 3 times the size of the Halo game rings.
Forerunner navy>>>>>>Ground forces firepower>>>>>>>Star wars
navy
?hahahahahaha
So you say the empire encountered a parasite who steal your knowledge use it against you and are extremely adaptable?Flood aren't a disease,it's far worse.
The vong are nothing like the flood,do they have a superbeing leader who can't be killed?Are they able to consume your army and tech and use it against you?Are they able to create entire new powerful armies from scratch?(pure forms)
Your are really ignorant aren't ya.It's revealed in cryptum that precursor material is indestructible to anything but a neural weapon(Halo array).
WTF are you smoking the Forerunner curbstomb the galactic empire so hard it isn't evevn funny to watch.
You have no chanche on ground.
