In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

You can't really defend against a fleet of that seize. Besides UNSC won most of the ground fights, the real battle is in the stars.

We should know better, because we are better.

I would never defend a planer with that amount of ordnance. Unless that planer had super-important military intelligence.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

1. 60 Marathon Cruisers
2. The entire Orbital Defense grid, firing only at the larger ships
3. 300 Longswords
4. 40 Shivas
5. 100 Pelicans
6. 70 Frigates
7. Spartan Gamma team
8. All of the ground defenses on the planet
9. A NOVA bomb, should it come to that.

All I need. If they had knocked out the bigger ships with the SMACS and used the nukes and vehicles on the smaller ships, they would have won. Ground engagements aren't really a problem.

EXTREME PREJUDICE

cant use Halo array

ur game sucks.

I'll have the roast duck . . . with the mango salsa.

No Giant Slingshot comments yet? I'm in for Giant Slingshot.

I'm better then you, get over it.

I'd clone hundreds of captins keys's and put him in command of every ship in the fleet. We'd win the fight in the stars that way.

  • 01.19.2012 6:56 PM PDT

I'd have ONI not take part in defensive command.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe."
"One starts to live when he can live outside himself."

- Albert Einstein

Abandon Reach and attack home-world.

Why waste resources?

"This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fusionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb, temporarily in command of the UNSC military base Reach. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell..."

I'd call Chuck Norris and fire him out of a giant slingshot...

or would that be fire a giant slingshot out of Chuck Norris??

97% OF TEENS WON'T STAND UP FOR GOD. IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE 3% WHO WILL, PUT THIS IN YOUR SIG.
As comrades we have outlasted this storm known as life.
As allies we have fought through the fires across the depths of Hell. As friends we are victorious but as brothers we stand united. WE ARE RESURCTED!
The Revisionaries

I would have put the damn generators underground.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Use just the SMACS and Repair Stations as main force. The SMACS would keep one-shotting the Covenant ships and the repair stations would be used as shields.

For boarding parties I would have a lot of longswords around said SMACS along with forces inside of them in case they did pass that defense.

  • 01.19.2012 9:43 PM PDT

100 Marathon Cruisers
100 SMAC's all in a defensive position aimed at the Covenant.

I won.

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

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Damn, that planer must be quite important to the war effort if you want to dedicate all those resources to defend him...

Yeah, about that.

The thing is... they were.

Oh, oh, I know!

I'd actually mobilize the ground defenses/army/marines, use the vast array of Aircraft on Reach to destroy and harrass the dropships that reached the surface, and ACTUALLY HAVE DEFENSES AROUND IMPORTANT BUILDINGS.

You know, have the ground be a fortress instead of "oh entire planet's worth of important places got overwhelmed by a few hundred dropships."

What you don't know is that Reach's entire defense force consisted of 10 ODSTS, a couple of anti-tank mines and a skyhawk, and thanks to John they all got beaten up and couldn't save Reach.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

You forgot the guys who screamed horribly into comm lines, and the three marines that wandered around going "whuuut?" :P.

*Super Mac and fleet keeping Covenant Fleet away, point nullified*

If the Ground had actually being the Fortress Reach was supposed to be in the Book, the generators falling would've been a null issue because by the time they fell the orbital battle would've been over.
