Wasn't that big gun that you go into near the end and kill phantoms in a MAC gun?
Now im confused
It wasn't a MAC Gun as such, it was a Mass Driver. It used the same technology as A MAC Gun but was primarily used for transporting slugs of metal about Reach's solar system for use in off planet ship building, etc. It served the purpose of a MAC Gun when Noble Six was using it, but specifically it wasn't one.
The MAC Gun's you are talking about are in orbit around Reach. If you were to see them you'd only see them in the mission "Long Night of Solace" and by then they may have well been destroyed. Although as others said the game and the book don't tell the same story even though both are supposedly cannon.
They were at the other side of the planet with the majority of the fleet.
Yeah, but wasn't the majority of the fleet supposed to be fighting the Covenant Armada that, in the game, only shows up after the first Cruiser is destroyed.
Let's just say the game and the book punch holes into eachothers stories and leave it at that.
They explained that only the forces stationed at that side of the planet knew about the invasion, the rest (The majority of the fleet and the SMACS at the other side of the planet) were held up because of the incident with the relay. One guy even mentions seeing a flash of light flare up over New Alexandria (due to the Super Carrier being ripped in two).
ONI kept them at that side with the idea that the relay was still down long after the Long Night of Solace had been destroyed.
