Halo CE......(sigh) the good ol' days......
“Go, stranger, and to Lacedaemon tell that here, obeying her behests, we fell.”
ok heres what happened for all you people who seem to be missing the point, 15 ship covie fleet finds earth, two super carries from that fleet break through because they are moh fuggin HUGE and the MC takes out one, the other 13 ships either get blown to crap or retreat. And then later on the rest of the covie fleet that isnt fighting itself around high charity comes to earth and continues the fight, now if you think back to the fall of reach, Reach had twenty orbital guns, with about 150 ships defending, they were fighting 300 covie ships, and the USMC could have won that battle if the covenant wouldnt have landed on the planet and taken out the guns. And when we hear that there is 300 geosync platforms around earth, i dont care how big the covie fleet is, all i picture is infinite ownage. Because in the book it says the super mac guns fire about once every 5 seconds, now thats 300 balls of hot lead capable of destroying a covie frigate in a single hit being fired every 5 seconds. I dont see how anything could have broken that line of defense. UNLESS-the 300 geosync platforms arent all orbital super mac guns, and some serve other purposes like docks and miscellaenous tasks. Anyway point is, No fifteen strong fleet battered our planet so bad......
