Subject: Make Your Own UNSC Earth Defense!

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I would like a large combo of Orbital defended Platforms and some Frigates with Longswords on the side.

Can I get some sabers with that?

:D

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

Just build like 300 Orbital MAC guns

^ there's two problems with using just orbital guns:

A: The Covenant can use their long-range energy projectors to snipe the guns from long range

B: Alternatively they can use their superior Slipspace capabilities to get inside of the orbital gun's range and destroy them

or send dropships to either board them or take out the generators

^ Overwhelmed by sheer numbers of dropships. Remember in Halo 2 they managed to reach the stations despite all the onboard guns.

Yes I'm fairly young. No, that doesn't mean I'm automatically dumber than you or have less life experience, thats just generally the case. I am not your general case.

You forgot to mention that Sabres have shields and self-repairing composite armor.
Also, a Longswords main gun is not 110mm, according to Bungie it was a typo.

Then what is the callibur?

I most likely assume the author meant to say something more reasonable, closer to 20 to 40 millimeters. I normally consider them to be 35mm

I actually can't recall ever seeing PD guns on the orbital guns, I just assumed that they would have some.

Seems fine to me, like I said the lack of data about Covenant spaceships is the limiting factor. Maybe later I'll work on a ground version, there's much better data on those vehicles.
