Actually, they pummel Reach, as the planet was eventually rendered useless, they just went slowly. The act of glassing a planet burns the atmosphere off. Why would you want to glass what appears to be an extremely holy religious site. It just seems like common sense to me.

They Glass Reach except for a 9x9x9x9 section (or something like that). The Atmosphere eventually burns off, so they did Glass it, just not all of it. They were going to finish after they got the crystal and took off..

I don't know about your question but the imeadiate area in the teaser trailor IS already TRASHED ! like they alread plasma'd it but this is only hypothetic .


That's probably from the Covenant ship entering slipspace inside the city. If they glassed the planet, it would literally be glass on the ground from the heat of the plasma.

ok 1, they didnt want the ONI base they wanted the crsytal that halsey had to travel through slipsace at 90 times the normal speed. 2: they probably dont galss earth becuz their could be more forerunner artifacts under the surface, or if they galssed the planet it could ruin wutever the arc or forerunner structure does or is.
