Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

The other big plot issue with Halo Reach is the Covenant Super Carrier. If there are 20 Super Mac Cannons guarding reach why don't they attack it or the UNSC fleet. You can make the argument the fleets were elsewhere but Mac Stations don't leave ( that I know of). That is one of the main plot devices I liked in the game even if it didn't fit the canon
I believe the MACs were offline at that point, could be for maintenance, I'm not sure. I believe they used one on the Corvette attacking SWORD Base. The Super MACS may not have attacked the Supercarrier because the MACs, from what I've been told, are put in a formation to maximize their effectiveness. The Long Night of Solace could've been out of range. Remember, Reach only had about 20 compared the the 300 Earth had and the Covenant blew right past Earth's in Halo 2.
Destroyed two out of the 3 Super macs in that location and easily brushed through the gap in the lines. True, only the assault carriers got through but that was because they didn't engage.
Honestly, it just looks like the LNoS was out of the SMAC's range.
