If the Covenant wanted to kill all the Marines,Troops, Spartans, or whatever, why didn't the Covenant just fly close to the ground, then slipspace jump Like in Halo 2's New Mombasa?

I enjoy halo for it's story and when I am in the mood, its gameplay. Reach was significantly worse then I expected but was still a great game (minus the european hitscan fiasco). I am sitting on a two mile wide fence on the subject of halo 4. Most of the things I like a technical aspects though and not story or game play. Plus I am slightly mad they took my elites from MP.

They were inadvertantly told how to do it in first strike by cortana and the gettiesburg-whatever hybrid

Oh, I read the books, but I read them a few years back so I'm kinda rusty.

Because that doesn't kill. And because that'd be a pointless thing to do since the Covenant can easily just glass the place.
A Marine in ODST describes it as a "flash". The slipspace rupture did manage to damage a lot of buildings, and managed to make the orbital elevator fall, but other than that, nobody was really killed besides the rest of the ODST platoon, who were still in mid-air, and dangerously close to the rupture itself.

"On the seventh day, god did not rest, but rather he created 64 player multiplayer!"

I honestly think the only reason that happened was for dramatic effect in the games...

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Probably a little inconvenient to keep jumping all over the place.
