"Ignorance is a plague."

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

They can glass us effortlessly from orbit. We can't do anything to stop them.

Edited for spelling.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Let's look at this rationally.

Humanity's current status:
>Fractured, locked in several wars, not space faring.
>Only formidable weapon: nukes
-Side note, using them in close proximity to Earth's ionosphere would knock out the power grids and devastate our satellite system, leaving us more vulnerable to attack than when this started. Not to mention would cause irradiated debris to fall back to Earth, contaminating EVERYTHING if we did win.

Covenant status:
>Much more technologically advanced.
>Could devastate ground troops from orbit, no need for infantry combatants
>Most military hardware capable of space flight, leaving 99% of human military might useless.

So, where is the fight again? Perhaps the phrase "Shooting fish in a Barrel" should be "Glassing Humans on a planet." Just saying.

If the covanent came to earth at this very minute we would lose in about a day and a half if they laneded infantry on the planet. They would lose probally thousands of troops but nowhere near the number we would lose. If they didn't even bother with a ground assault, it would be over in a matter of hours. They would just glass us from orbit. Also our nuclear weapons would do hardly anything to their fleet. As people have stated before they would shoot them out of the sky with point defense lasers, and if they do hit they would not get pass there sheilds.

Found this interesting, so will add my two cents.

If such a battle ever happened, we'd be boned before it began. However, I doubt such a battle would ever happen because the Covenant would find use in an intelligent species such as us. Just like how they were originally going to form an alliance with humanity, I don't see them outright destroying us for no reason when they could use us instead.

Also, nukes are useless weapons.

Completely accurate.

They'd find out we're reclaimers and BAM BAM BAM! Dead.
