1 Nuke in High Charity would kill ,with blast,millions,and radiation would kill another million. and with russia and U.S. and,well the world together I think we could fight.


If you destroy a covenent ship in orbit, it would fall the ground with the force of a meteor and do more damage on us than we would have done on them, even if it goes down in the ocean, it would cause massive tsunamis and crush all of our coastal cites.

This thread is just completely ridiculous. It's obvious humanity would win because we have Jeff Goldblum and his mighty Macbook.

MacGyver could build a Mini Halo from a Hula hoop, a microwave, a toaster and a pen and kill all the Covenant too.

We have no Mercy
We shall show no Fear
We do not boast our Strength
We have Honour
We are the Elites!!!

Is the battle in current time? Then wouldn't that make the covenant also back 500 years in technology?

Oh and let's not forget the Power Rangers! They're even better than Spartans. After all they're veterans at stopping numerous alien invasions time after time in small groups of five, have gigantic robots at their disposal that operate in sea, land, and/or space, and probably number in the hundreds at this point in time alone. Covies just don't stand a chance.

They pretty much have the same tech in 2552 as they did 5,000 years ago.

There's no reason to destroy humanity within 50(ish) years humanity will destroy itself.

Raganok99 says And, no matter where you are at, grammar and spelling is absolutely essential, period.

*No matter where you are. You put a preposition at the end, which is grammatically incorrect. Now stop trying to bully- you don't seem exceptionally brilliant yourself.

RE: Humanity vs. Covenant, all I have to say is that we seem to have put up a decent fight in the 2500s (where our technology seems to have miraculously NOT advanced at all.)


Everybody makes mistakes. That is fine. However, some people butchering the English language or improperly using grammar/spelling continuously like this OP is not acceptable.

jep i knew that you were an -blam!-, you don't know what to say, because of that you talk only about grammar...
Want to say something good? Say something about the post not it's grammar.

RE:Wed lose in 3days... because the covies would need to bring more ships to us(humanity)... im pretty shure that we could take atleast 1 phantom down... maybee ewen a corwete but not a -blam!- cruiser!
ANd they hawe no reason to send troops down to earth because we don't hawe any forerunner artifacts...
So yeah, they would just glass/nuke us from the orbit...

Well we could take down a cruiser... when it preperes to glass, its shields turn off... then we could do the same thing that noble 6 did at the end of the game... but only we need to some of theese make a scuocide run to deliver nukes...

Oh nice. I did post something here about Covenant winning against the Humanity. And OP is being retarded. Also you are too.

First thing, most of aircraft you mentioned, it will be shot down by covenant's point defense guns. I did mention that they use pulse lasers? That can melt through 15 cm of Titanium-A a second? It's no absolutely way for those modern aircraft can win against that defense guns.

Fact is that Humanity will lose in a hour or so. Know why? Covenant fleet will fire its plasma turrets bombard the bases, cities, etc in quick succession then send ships to glass the country. It may take several days to glass entire U.S country, will cause major ecosystem disaster which it will render the Earth to be lifeless rock planet.

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

Considering our ability for space travel, I'ma say Covies.

How would it be anywhere near a close fight...? They'd glass the planet within a couple hours!


Can't glass an entire planet in hours more like years.


And how would we be able to fight them? bullets wouldn't do squat to the jackal shields
Well I don't know, you're referring to the thing in First Strike right? Well I guess this is imagining if the Covenant had all their ships, High Charity defense fleet, Fleet of Furious Redemption, Unyielding Hierophant, etc...That's thousands of ships, if all of them worked at once, it could be done in a few months time.

Anton calculated how long it would take various amounts Covenant Ships to destroy Earth. 2000 ships = 30 years
60'000 ships = 1 year so
60'000 ships = 52 weeks
3'120'000 ships = 1 week.

The Covenant don't have those numbers.

If we could could get the covies on the ground we could use hit and run tactics.

First off. The discussion is about what if our first contact with the Covenant was today, meaning that High Charity is not gone.

Russia has the F.O.A.B.s. (Father of all Bombs)
Edit:
For all honesty.
Considering that we can harness the power of the sun.
If we can do that, I'm pretty sure we have a lot more hidden goodies in our sleeves. We might stand a chance.

United Armed Forces

Better question: How would we get to them to do any damage? We don't have (feasible) space flight.

They throw two ships against us, they'd win.

They pretty much have the same tech in 2552 as they did 5,000 years ago.

The Covenant is only about 3000 years old, and the individual races were all Tier 3 or below before meeting each other.

I'm referring to the Covenant collective of races, not the individual races themselves. Their tech advancement is notoriously slow and based on tradition. They hardly advance at all.

The 5000 year thing was a typo I didn't bother fixing because thats not my point.

  • 08.21.2011 3:46 PM PDT

We don't even Have a space fleet..it takes a huge charade, and ALOT of preparation to even launch a Satellite. The Covenant wouldn't even view us as a threat, IF they wanted to enslave us/absorb us..they would, if we didn't abide, we'd be annihilated. Point blank.. We wouldn't stand a chance today.

  • 08.21.2011 3:57 PM PDT

We'd win because we have Chuck Norris. (Sorry, didn't see anyone else do it.)

Though seriously, we'd lose within the first week if not the first day. Sure we would put up a good fight, maybe taking down some ships, but we'd be overwhelm by their numbers and technology, even if they're slow at progressing. All the Covenant needs to do is destroy the leading nations and the rest of the world would soon follow, since they don't really have a lot of forces.

  • 08.21.2011 4:00 PM PDT

First of all, the UNSC is bungie's idea of the future of the human race, and the present world is the past version.

As that is the case, shouldn't it be humanity(now) against the covenant that existed in the same time period? not the one from 2500?

It only makes sense if you have armies, or in this case, species, from different time periods then the species from the future will most likely win...

The current topic is not what one would call a fair fight.
