Read The Fall of Reach more closely.

They take out a few guns, slip down to the surface, disable the generators, and boom: they've obliterated the defences.

Generators? But how could a generator on the surface power something in space. Besides at the end of Halo 2 there still was tons of MAC stations left

I think ackerson does have one

Actually there are only a few MAC cannons ( like 12 i think) and they bombed most of them. What I don't get is if they became allies then they cannot take over Earth. Also I always wondered about this, The year is 2552. Today we have learned how to make a mini MAC cannon and laser weapons. 500 years in the future would make this technology ancient. Wouldn't you think the world would come up with somthing better to kill everyone with.

they beam the power up to space. They can beam power today, but you lose almost all the power that way. This is supose to be 500 years later though....i'm asuming they have fine tuned it in 500 years.

Who knows halo 3 will probably take place all over space

Ok, there are over 300 geo-synced platforms around Earth. But the person talking about generators is absolutely correct, that is what happened in The Fall of Reach. About the weapons tech, it is more advanced than Covenant technology, in a few ways, and we know the full extent of how to use ours, while the Covenant don't know the full extent of what they could do with plasma. Read First Strike. Also, the MAC Cannons sort of can aim, just not all that well. And the UNSC motto towards weapons tech: "Whatever hurts, works."
