ODST Romeo

How r the covies on earth? they came with a tiny fleet, (i think like 15 ships) to atk earth, but we had 300 MAC guns, thats 10 Mac guns per ship, i think thats plenty to kill off any covie ship. if Halo 3 took place right after Halo 2, where or when did the new giant armada come and take ofer earth.

ODST Romeo

its 10 ships per ship not 20 cause there r only 150 guns on ea side of earth.

Hilarious.

As for your question, Dragen, the Covenant showed up with their entire fleet at the end of Halo 2.

ok u guys missed one tiny important detail... before the covies jumped to earth from charity a mass battle took place within the covies between elite controlled ships and brute ships. now i think the brutes would win out but since the entire covie fleet was controlled by elites at the time of the control change the proabyl took some casualties. now, i highly doubt the jumped to earth to 10000 ships.

Remember on "regret" when chief looks up and cortana sais "thats the largest covenant fleet ive ever seen, that anyones ever seen" that was like 10,000 ships or more.....yea Earths been Raped, Reach was taken out by 150 ( think) ships, just imgine 10,000 ships


Actually Reach was out numbered 150 to 315 to be exact. Reach only had 18-20 MAC guns. Which were disabled rather quickly planet side. If they marched in with 10,000 ships to attack Earth they can disable the MAC guns even quicker than they did on Reach.

In theory.

to quote mc in first strike the covies wouldnt even have to aim! so the macs might as well be giant water guns with out any water cause the first salvo would completly and utterly remove earth from existance.

2. Go back and smack your English teacher in the face

3. Go back and smack your Math teacher in the face

4. Go read the Halo books, Covenant can jump into, and out of a Planet's atmosphere.

5. Rewatch the last cutscene -- see all those ships? They're Truth's, and they're going to jump to Earth.

in all the "victorious " space battles. humaity has outnumbered the covenant attack force 3 to 1. one covie ship is worth 4 or 5 human ships.

but you are right, they don't win every battle. just every one that maters.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

We aren't sure of exactly what happened sicne we were to busy saving the world on Hloa and High Charity. I'd guess that after Regret's recon fleet was totally owned by earth's defenses and he fled to Delta Halo, he let the rest of the Covenant know that he had jumped the gun and gone to earth to early. The prophets were pissed (as we learn on Regret), but probably didn't give a -blam!- since they were alreadfy planning to let the MC kill him.

Once he was out of the way, the prophets or Truth and Mercy could do things their way, andm ost likely organized a large fleet from High Charity and other battle stations to attack earth. A day after the first attack on earth,. the human race is still recovering from the shock of the attack when another fleet of upwards of 1,000 ships emerges from slipspace. obliterating the MAC guns and begining to glass unimportant areas of earth as Spec Ops forces are sent to investigate the forerunner artifacts below the sands of Africa...

ok first off the covies cant jump into and out of a planets atmosphere... cortona can. secondly even though the evil AI sent the calculations to the other ships you have know way of know if the can even understand her calculations. so saying that they can is not correct for there is no proof that they cant do so yet

hahahahahahahaa!!!!

anyways, yeah in the beginning, 15 ships got to Earth.
10,000 ships would not only get on Eath, but pretty much -blam!- Earth till its rid of humans.

Unless we have about 50,000 ships, earth is FUBAR.
And in the cutscene after the level metropolis, you see the In Amber Clad following Regrets ship. In Amber Clad looked like a toy car compared to that massive thing. Imagine about 1,000 of them things. Pure Ownag3

Yes there is, the Covenant didn't know they could jump out of an atmosphere, though they did in Halo 2 -- thanks to the info they recieved from Cortana.

The Covenant doesn't want to destroy Earth, just humanity. So there's a glimmer of hope that humanity does stand a chance. If the Covenant can't risk glassing Earth, then it will all be settled on the ground. And you never know what the Forerunner left on Earth...
