Halo Reach pretty much messed with the whole concept of the Covenant being able to glass entire planets.
In the novels, planets are completely glassed. Cinders.
In the game, Reach was not completely glassed, and the data pads suggest that the Covenant dont have the resources to render an entire planet into glass
I beg to differ. Have you read Halo: First Strike? Note that Menachite Mountain and CASTLE Base were left untouched, as well as a good chunk of the surrounding territory. They unfortunately DID end up glassing the whole place after Halsey and the gang abandoned ship and got the hell out of there. Which pisses me off, because the ending of Reach (with Menachite Mountain visible in the backdrop, and a happy scene of a green Reach) completely contradicts that. I hate it when they do stuff like that. Thoughts?
How do we even know that Menachite Mountain in the background?
Also, when they left the planet where does it state they see them glass the entire thing? IIRC, it never states they moved to glass the planet after chasing the AJ.
