If the human weopens are faster,stronger,better than covenant's weopen...why arent they winning???With master chief on their side...they can easily crush covenant...when marines deal with the hunters....they can dogde their shots...so why cant they win??

OMG
Master Chief w/o his Helmet!


Stosh <3's me vicariously... at least someone does...

There are many explanations to this but I think your main problem is your playing Halo on Easy to much. Marines rarely survive hunter incounters even on Normal difficulty, try Legendary first if you're going to complain about the realism of the game.

to fully live the covenant war told as in the books point of view, and the upcoming halo movie, you need to play on legendary, or at least heroic. trust me, in real life, or should i say in the books and in the actual stories, the covenants win at least 8 out of every 10 battles in the war, well, so far...

the UNSC usually wins the ground engagements, but then the Covies fall back to their space ships and glass the planet and/or beat the stuffing out of the human space fleet.

BTW, the Covie ships are superior because their plasma shots track, they have energy shielding, and a heck of a lot more space vehicles than the humans

The human weapons are only superior in multiplayer, in the campaign the covenent weapons are just as good. Different kind of targets

Try playing the game and shooting an elite with an AR then try shooting him with a PR at the same distance. They die twice as fast with the PR (at least in Campaign). The reticule of the PR is even smaller than the AR. I think that some of the covie weapons are stronger than some of the human weapons (considering the pistol). Each weapon has a special function and some do the funtion better than others. Plus each elite is the equivilant of a Spartan. And the Covenant have way more elites than the UNSC has of the Spartans. Luckily, the UNSC have the Master Cheif who is the equivilant of at least 5 Spartans. Also, as someone else mentioned the covies have spaceships that are far superior to the UNSC ships, the only way to kill the covies in space is to outwit them with tactical superiority.

In the end the UNSC will win because they have the Master Chief and they are the good guys. HOO RA!!

Luckily, the UNSC have the Master Cheif who is the equivilant of at least 5 Spartans.Actually, he's the weakest of spartans. The only main quality he has over other spartans is leadership. I don't remember where I read this though.

But seriously Marines, before you say what you think, think! You made a very inaccurate assumption about the Covenant, and if you've ever payed attention to the storyline at all and played at a difficulty higher than easy, you would understand why the humans are losing and the Covenant are winning. So don't make assumptions, because you assume, and to assume makes an ass out of u and me.

And Ipjuunin, the MAC gun is human technology. The humans don't have Longswords. They've got big capital ships as well, such as the Pillar of Autumn and the Amber Clad, Durh. The human race would be wiped out already if all we had was puny Longswords. But yeah, the Covenant do have a bigger armada and have some very advanced technology.

Why aren't the humans winning? I mean, there's only grunts, elites, hunters, brutes, insect-drone-things and prophets fighting to kill them all. I mean, one species fighting six from a number of planets being grossly outnumbered on land and in the air and space with inferior space technology is BOUND to win.

Okay, the 6 year olds were ALREADY taller, faster, smarter; overall better than other kids their age. Out of trillions (possible Quadrillions) of citizens of... the.. Earth Space (Bungie Quote) there were 150 of them that quallified. Now, the only coloninzised planet is Earth. And it's bieng overrun by covenant. That answer your question?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...the MAC gun is a human weapon...ah, silly me xD sorry guys, i guess i misread about the part of MAC guns....

and yea, not ALL 6 year old were strong and fit enough to go through the SPARTIAN-II experiment. only 150 were selected, and just so you know, a portion of them died during a process they put through when they were 12, or some other age i think

Yea, but we the humans should be winning in Halo 3 as being the Cortana found out the Covenant's language, most of their technology, and all the Halo data. Most of the Covenant's technology is only useful because they use brute force (thier plasma guidence system comes to mind , and their slispace capabilities). If the humans had the same technology as the Covenant, those alien morons wouldnt stand a chance.

MasterChief487, Halo 3 is (assuming it is coming) supposidly based at the same day Halo 2 ended, and, even if the humans did have every schematic and knowledge of how to build Covenant ships, they have neither the time nor the resources to build and trial them, so they have to stick with what they got for now

One thing is for sure: Earth is screwed. Where is a MacGyver when you need one!?

There he comes! In Mark V Armor! And his name is Master Chief.

I keep saying the obvious sometimes needs to be stated, but I already know that. Lol. But seriously, Marines, although he could polish up his grammar a bit, usually doesn't type what a three year old would say.

So that's a =P to you as well, Captain Obvious.

yet you stated the obvious yourself by saying that the title's grammer was bad, and i was also joking with my remark, as i symbolized it with my =P

=P right back atcha

ehem...so, i agree with the fact that if Marines would play legendary, he'll learn who's weapons are superior to who...
