Yeah, I know you were joking, I was too.

But I agree with you, because although marines are already dumb enough in single player Legendary still really shows how devastating the Covenant are because it doesn't matter how smart the marines are they cannot stand against that kind of opposition.

That's odd. I turned up this on Wikipedia.

Before The Battle of Reach, [Master Chief] had fought in 207 ground engagements against the Covenant, and garnered every major service medal...except the Prisoner of War Medallion. It is also during this time that he is deemed the best Spartan candidate by Dr Halsey to work with and protect Cortana. She explains that although he is neither the smartest, nor the strongest, nor fastest of the Spartans, he is the most well-balanced, having each of those qualites in equal measure; he is also the bravest of all the Spartans and quite possibly the "luckiest" as well.

So he's not the best, but the most balanced instead.

well it does say " he is deamd the beast spartan", and shee did say in the book that he is the beast.

if the humans where as technologicaly advansed as the covanent, even the marines would be pwning all the covanet. humans are way beter than covanent (in my opinion [slite flame protection]) but they just dont have the technolygy or numbers to defet them. In the books it even talks about how cortana inproved the covanent plasma turets on the asendant justice .

On land, humans tend to win. But then the Covenant just fly back up into their space ships and glass the planet. But the Covenant do outnumber the humans with their ships, and their ships are more powerful too.

Sorry kim, i may be dumb sometimes...but i was rushing to create the topic because i had to go somewhere real soon...The story,WHOLE story of halo is too confusing for me...the timeline...the events...too many happening...and the marines isnt dumb in the single player in Halo....It's the AI which is weak...go blame bungie for the dumbness of the marines but they improved the AI in Halo 2 ...

In the end, humans are the best and will win the war, there are multiple reasons for this but the main one is this, humans invent and innovate, however the convenant do now, they only got their technology from the forerunners, they basicly replicated their ships. However we humans have invented every piece of technology from ours ships to our bulets and how can you forget those huge MAC cannons that can rip a capital ship in pieces with just some shots. For example, at first human ground forces only had the warthog LAAV, but humans created the warthog LAAG, basicly the same warthog except with a brand new gun thats kicks ass that's a grass(someone correct my spelling) cannon. To see a good example of this, see the demo of Halo 2 before the game came out, you see how much that warthog kicked ass. If we had enough time and resources we would win the war, however thats not the case sadly.

Read the books, they should explain everything. But since you're lazy, I will briefly explain it in simple words. Covenant have good technology, but doesn't know it's full potential. We have primitive technology, and use it to it's full extent. The Covenant have plasma weapons that melt our ships, that sucks. We have big guns, but they can turn a planet to glass with thier plasma. Simply put, they got better guns and until we get Covenant technology, we will continue to lose.

If I had the books, I would read them. But seriously, who here is going to buy a book just to make sure their facts are right to reply to this thread?

In the end the UNSC will win because they have the Master Chief and they are the good guys. HOO RA!! [/quote] LOL...ok...if master chief can become a spartan.Why cant the other 6 years old childrens in earth?If they use the same project on them....and as time goes by....and if they are successful....they can crush the covenants like crushing ants!! : )


uh... about that... the bioengineering processes that they did in the Spartian 2 project... each had WAY too many side effects affecting the body process... ther were at least 130 Spartians, and if you read the first book... only 30 didnt have any side effects... the rest were killed in the process or ended up inaficiant to fight and were retired from the military...

...which is why they never did it again... life cant be messed with like that...

New people? LOL ! I was around here before Halo 2 came out. Though at that time my name was Inuyasha487.

But back to business.


( FIRST STRIKE SPIOLERS )


Ok I didnt think about what was needed to build better ships, but wtf happened to the other spartans Chief found on reach? I think there were 4 left alive at the end of First Strike. So where are they? I know nothing is more important than earth, so they cant be on another planet. This is gonna bug me for a while.....
