Ok tell me if im wrong but if I remamber correctly the Covenant attacked Earth with 15 ships, 15 Capital ships but 15 ships all the same. And on the human side we have lets say 100 ships orbiting Earth and in the exact words of Srg. Johnson "Ciro is one of 300 geosink platforms". HOW THE F**K DID WE LOSE WITH THAT SORT OF FIRE POWER?!?!?!?!?!

Please tell me if im wrong but that seems completly imposible even if it is the Covenant.

P.S. Does anyone know if we can e-mail Bungie?


Well , if you remember , 2 were destroyed and 1 threatened in a matter of minutes. Wouldnt take long.

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......


ok it was obvious your new without even looking at the "member since" date.
first it's UNSC second the covies did make it to earth but in the first encounter with them the humans drove them back. i'm betting that while we were fighting in the covie high charity or when we just visited the second halo the covies sent down a fleet to take over earth (probably the fleet we saw in the level regret sent to give regret reinforcements).

We lost? Easily. First off, the MAC guns will not fire at Earth, half the Carriers just blasted through..

And do you have any idea how many ships are in the Covenant fleet? We just can't hold 'em off like that.

initially only 15 were sent to earth, which was a hasty mistake on the covie's part.

heyyo,
ok heres how it it went, earth was attacked by the covenant with 15 ships, this was supposed to be a simple recon but they discovered earth, thats what you saw in halo 2, in the end of halo 2 you see mc come back to earth and it seems like they are mopping up, which they are, but in the teaser it seems that earth has been overrun with the covenant, this led me to one and only one conclusion, that the teaser cannot be in the beggining of h3 its gotta be somewhere in the middle, so i went on yahoo and researched it, and sure enough in their coverage i found this...

Shortly after Microsoft's presentation, we had an opportunity to get a close-up look at Halo 3 with Bungie representatives. We spoke with Brian Gerrard, one of Bungie's community managers, as well as CJ Cowan, the studio's cinematics director. Cowan stated that the trailer was a good example of where Halo 3 is going, in terms of fiction. By that, he means that the story is epic in scale, but dark as well, and Bungie is going for a distinct mood, since Halo 3 will represent the end of the trilogy.

The Bungie representatives made it clear to us that the trailer was running in real-time on the Xbox 360. The trailer is set in the African desert, and it was taken from roughly a third of the way through the game.Cowan noted that the constant battling has taken its toll on Master Chief, and you can see that by the many scratches and gouges in his armor. The flashes of Cortana seen in the trailer fill you in on the state of her mind, and the Forerunner structure seen in the distance at the end of the trailer represents a pivotal point in the story.

hope that helps ;)

IMPORTANT NOTE:

this trailer is nowhere near the start of the halo3 game. JUST so you know. ty come again, all questions answered. there are many things we havent seen yet that are before the h3 trailer.... E3 said so themselves, its at least one third of the way (or was it 3/4?) through the game...

and h3 is gona be big. so one third is a lot. good logic? ^^

I don't think you understand how vastly superior the covenant are to humans.

You are thinking that they are weak because you are used to Master Chief kicking ass.

Human ships couldn't even dent the covenant ships, they only ever hit the shields.
Covenant ships on the other hand, tore holes through our ships with one hit.

MAC cannons, our only defense against the covenant in space, still take multiple hits to kill a covenant ship. If you remember, the covenant where picking those off with bombs.

They mad rushed earth and boarded all the MAC cannons right away. New Mobassa got obliterated when Regret jumped hyperspace while inside the city.

Another thing, the Covenant have THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of soldiers that they just keep throwing at there enemy. Human kind is on the brink of destruction and has little resistance.

Yes, but I believe "We Lost" is the battle that ensues right at the end of Halo 2.. Afterall, the giant "ship" entered orbit with High Charity and the entire fleet.

Just a thought. EVen if we did have 300 MAC guns,it still wouldnt be nearly enough. The Covenant would amass a fleet probably as large as the one that was massing at the Unyielding Heriophant, which was several thousand. At best,I dont think we could even pull up 900 ships to defend Earth. The fleet is just to decimated.
