On hiding dead bodies:

Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll lookA corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.Win.
There were supposed to be 300 SMAC platforms in orbit around Earth.
At the very least, 100 would be on the correct side of the planet to engage Regret's fleet.
The Athens, the Malta and Cairo station presented a single battlegroup, and was defended by 68 Frigates and 8 Marathon-class Cruisers.
If we assume that every three ODPs had the same defensive fleet, and then patrols on top of that...
WTF?
15 ships, none of which would have been able to survive a single SMAC impact, were able to run a gauntlet of a defensive fleet 500 times their size and against probably 100 super-accurate, super-powerful SMAC stations, of which only 76 ships and 3 SMAC stations engaged the Covenant.
That should still have been far more than enough to destroy them. Cairo station fires once every 5 seconds, and this is seen in the Halo 2 level.
Yet all but 13 of the rounds fired by all 3 stations were misses?
I call total BS.Posted by: Multijirachi
Are we forgetting Halo 2...?
The In amber clad (Infected) used a precise slipspace jump to get INSIDE High charity. The covenant could do the same thing, right through the hole left by regrets fleet.I don't believe that either.
I believe that the reason UNSC translight engines are random in trajectory and Covenant/Forerunner engines are precise is based entirely on how they function, which are fundamentally different to each other.
That transition must have been nothing but total luck.
