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.
We've already established what beats what, and the Forerunners could easily wipe the floor with the Empire.
I do not see more room for reasonable discussion.
I laugh, explain yourself, you have no proof, as the Empire has all the power and information you want. Go ahead, try to beat me, you can't. Therefore you lose, go cry some more.
I concede, Recovery, I hope you can match them in this fight, I have to go to work.
1) Forerunner military likely had as many starships and heavy combat support drones as the CIS had droids
2) The Forerunners' starfighters and artillery were several times more powerful then a Covenant heavy ship, capable of pulling entire continents off of planets with their weapons and turning them upside down, crushing entire cities and civilizations in one fell swoop.
3) They could travel between universes.
4) Could bring their minds into a heightened state of consciousness called the Domain.
5) Had hundreds of super-AIs that dwarfed Cortana, or were similar too her, planning strategies with the brighest Forerunner minds in the Eccumene
6) Which spanned more then 3 million worlds, more planets then the Empire had ships.
7) The the hell told you the Forerunner weapons were long to charge? They lanced out and destroyed a Halo ring in a few shots.
Want proof? Read Cryptum.
Go cry some more.
I hate fanboys.
