Subject: How UNSC could have put up good defence against plasma attacks

Because the whole theme of the series of the UNSC fighting a losing war against the covenant would be destroyed. If the UNSC could defend against plasma they would not get destroyed and would be winning the war. The game would lose much of its atmosphere (for lack of better words).

Simply put. Because it makes for a better game.

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

They were more focused on colonizing than fighting, that has been told several times.


Yeah. Who'd thought that a conglomerate of genocidal aliens would appear on the horizon trying to annihilate us all?

In the books they didn't really understand how they were controlled, but then Cortana figured it out when they took over that covie ship so now they know how it all works.

The mariens just had a skirmish and there was a plasma rifle on the ground and guess what.. they dont pick it up cause there retarded. If i was a solider back then i would carry like 5 plasma rifles but no they keep there -blam!- assualt rifle with half a clip in it.

In conclusion people in the future are really stupid.


Are you serious? First of all, why would you drop a weapon that you are very framiliar with and can know how to reload it for a weapon you have likely never used before and havn't the slightest idea of how to "reload" it. Second, the UNSC DOES indeed pick up Covenant weapons. SPARTAN squads are told to recover them whenever possible, and even utalize things like Jackal shield guantlets in the field. Whenever Kurt requested Covenant weapons and technology for his S-IIIs to train with, ONI would provide it.

Please don't tell me you actually believe that the UNSC is retarded because they didn't rearm their troops with plasma weaponry? Do you know how hard, wait, no, how IMMPOSSIBLE it would be to arm a military force with control of 800+ planets by merely picking up weapons from downed enemies?
