The UNSC and Covenant vs Modern Earth... With a twist.

A Random Omnipotent Being(or ROB for short). Apears before the remenents of the UNSC and Covenant Empires leaders(let's say he looks like the Deciever from 40k for convenince).  He tells them he will restore their respective empires to pre UNSC/Covenant war conditions and bring every one back from the dead.(with a few exceptions). All the UNSC/CE has to do is conquer Modern Earth, through Diplomatic and/or
Militaristic means

He is giving them five years to marshal their forces before he opens up a portal through time and space to Modern Earth's solar system; out on the edge of the system, beyond Pluto.

There are some limitations though; they must take the Earth Intact,  stragetic glassing or Nova Bombs are prohibited from being used on earth.(the consequences of disobeying this will be massed stellar colapse in the Haloverse)

Forerunner tech is prohibited, no exceptions(except how you interpret cortanas origins)

There will also be a field in the solar system that will prevent Slipspace from being extremely effective, both in time spent traveling, and how far each jump can go.  It would take six months of constant jumping to get to earth from the portal.

To demonstrate he is serious, Earth is returned to pre covenant invasion conditions.  It's fleet and defenses restored, it's population resurected.  He also gives them the spirit of fire and her crew, The Pillar of Autum and her crew, an intact foreward unto dawn and crew, Noble Team, every one trapped in Oynx, and of course, the Master Chief and a stablized Cortana.

He also gives them Information on earth as of August, 2011; and he also tells them that ME will be informed that they are to be invaded, and they will be given some time to prepare.

Then he dissapears.


And he reapears in our universe; in a Carin Class Tombship above the earth.

He tells the entire population(via psychic means) that the Earth will be invaded by alien powers in Twenty five years, who come to enslave them; but not to fear, for he brings gifts of technology and weapons.

To the United States, Mexico, and Canada He gives;
1: The Higaraan Mothership from Homeworld Two, fully upgraded, as well as the command crew and Karen Sjet.  With a full database of various Higaraan technologies.

2: 50 GDI Third Tiberium war Era MCV's, with a Database for every scrap of GDI Tech from Tiberium Dawn to Tiberium Wars as well as 1,000 GDI advisors who will assist in training(this includes commandos Colonel Nick "Havoc" Parker and Lt. Fullerton 

To the Russian Federation:
1: Vaygr Mothership, with it's own database of Vaygr and Tiidan tech, and a command crew to help with training.

2: 50 Nod Third Tiberium war Era MCV's with a database filled with Nod Tech and 1,000 Advisors(With Kane at thier head.)

To the EU and the UK:
1: Five Kuun-lann Somtaaw Command/mining ships from HW Cataclysm, one fully upgraded endgame version; also a Database on Somtaaw tech and the command crew of the original Kuun-lann.

2: 50 RA3 Allied MCV's; with a database of all RA Allies Tech(minus the time Machine); as well as 1,000 Advisors(this includes Tanya and Einstine.)

To China: 
1: Ten Turanic Raider Carriers with Data Base of Turanic and some Tiidan tech, as well as a command crew for one of the carriers.

2: 25 RA3 Soviet MCV's and 25 Generals: Shockwave chinesse Command centers(with at least one specail CC of every general). With Database of all Tech relating to both(except those used by Yuri) as well as 1,000 Advisors(includes Black Lotus and Borris)

To Japan:
1: 50 RA3 Japanesse MCV's with a full database and 1,000 Advisors(includes Yuriko)

To the UN and the Rest of the world:

1: Ten Homeworld Mothership Scafolds, four Kharak types in orbit of earth, three Kharak types in orbit of Mars, three Tannis types around Jupiter.  Each comes with plans for all Mother ship classes given to earth. Only one of the earth scafolds comes with a skeleton crew, the rest are empty fir now.

2; Five Space elevators in ideal locations around the equator.

3: The dark side of the moon is now covered in tiberium, as well as some patches of asteroids in the Asteroid Belt, and there is a pre established mining base set up on the surface of the moon.

4: Ten G: Shockwave USA command centers per country with a massive stock pile for each and a data base with training programs.

5: 50 Valkyrine TAV heavy lift aerospace transports from Avatar to each nation as well as the know how to repair and build them.

6: the Research teams  from Homeworld, to help intigrate the various technologies. For example; putting Laser Point Defense turrets on the starships.

7: a basic network of HW sensor arrays, the reach of the network ends a Pluto, and it can not get acurate readings, but it  can track everything larger than a car and not cloaked. 

The ROB finishes by telling the population of earth that every last man, woman, and Child will have to help with the defensive effort, or all is lost.

He then leaves.

-------

Asumming that each side is totaly united in their respective efforts, how do you see this war play out?  Which will win?  The side that has every to gain if they win, or the side that has everything to loose?

Which side would you fight for?

Russia alone could easily gut the UNSC fleet, TSAR bomb anyone? If they knew that was going to happen, in 25 years time, Russia and the United States would set up underground shelters, Nuclear Weapons, defensive satellites, etc...

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

I think we'd all be fighting for modern day Earth since none of us are from 2552 or beyond.

We should know better, because we are better.

Just one problem: I don't know what half the things you gave to Earth are. Therefore, I cannot come to a conclusion. However, judging by the number of things ROB gave us, and the fact that every single human on Earth must fight the Covenant, I think we will stand a good chance in the fight especially considering the fact that both the Covies and UNSC have been severely weakened after the war. Alternatively, if the Haloverse tries diplomatic means first instead of military means, I think a diplomatic outcome would be plausible.

Eh, you are aware the Tsar was too big to fit on conventional ICBMs right? And to be frank our Aerospace gear is... A bit lacking in terms of Sci fi space engagements. Even with our entire planet working to defense in mind without any technological boosts, we'd probably be able to surprise the first wave if it was small.

After that, they knock out our sats, bomb our bases from orbit, then send in the marines and grunts, which probably outnumber us even with 25 years to boost our population.

Of course, that's the expected outcome without reciving Ion Cannons, PDA's Tiberium, and Chronosphere tech, just to name a few.

How you view Cortana origins? Um, there is only one origin for here, and that does not involve forerunner tech.

Also, as Xd said. Most of the stuff you gave modern day earth is a big "What the hell is that"

Also, if they are invading MODERN day earth, why does earth get all this fancy -blam!-.

Are YOU aware that the bomb that went off was only half the strength it was supposed to be? Even at half, it shattered windows 400 miles away in Sweden. Imagine if it was doubled to what it was supposed to be, in those 25 years, they would have built ships or made it a missile by the time the UNSC came.

You should also know that the Tsar had half it's intended payload. With the tech boosts ROB gave us I think we could whip up a way to deliver a full strength Tsar right into the heart of the fleets.

With our current rate of population growth, all it would take is China removing the one child policy to begin a large population boom. I'm sure that +7 billion people could take on a bunch of grunts.

Edit: Looks like I was beaten to the punchline. I don't doubt that in that 25 years we wouldn't be able to create some wicked new weapons. Our technology today is increasing incrementally and with all this new tech we would have all sorts of toys for our scientists to play with.

Okay, so this isn't really modern earth then. It's UNSC/Covenant vs. people from our time period with a bunch of futuristic tech and weapons.

Considering what you gave "modern" earth, plus 25 years preparation they would obviously win.

Not to mention that the UNSC and Covenant are not allowed to use their heavy weapons (glassing and Nova bombs).

This scenario is completely absurd.

the entire elite army from the covies is at least twice the size of the population of earth, let alone the whole covenant army ! And don't get me started on the UNSC...

  • 09.01.2011 12:12 AM PDT

Knowing modern day earth, the UNSC/Covenant would arrive to find a weak, ravaged world.

I mean, you think all these factions/subgroups(black market/terrorists) are just going to suddenly work together? Not likely. They'd most likely wage war on each other.

Or a terrorist would get hold of a new weapon, go on a killing spree, starting a global war.
