Just for the record i was very surpised that Earth's main forces were reduced to a resistance in such a short time.A guess a Covenent occupation of earth was innevitable.Then again if all the Elite forces fight alongside together at least the humans will have a shorter number of enemys.Also there need all the help they can get.

iiirc, in the books it stated that in ground battles hujmanity won the majority of skirmishes, they just got glassed. the covenant seem to want earth intact, so a ground battle it is.

edit : hujmanity, like humanity, BUT HUUUUUUUUUGE

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

Or they could just glass everywhere but Mombassa, Gendo. That is what happened with Reach and Coral.

Earth's planetary defenses will slow down the attacking fleet, but the Covenant would quickly take out Earth. Reach was heavily defended with MAC guns, a 300 ship fleet, bases, Spartans, and marines. If the Covies could quickly defeat Reach, they could also defeat Earth quickly.

Well, we are assuming here that the UNSC is reduced to a resistance movement.

They could still put up a serious fight because they outnumber the Covenant (most likely, but probably not) and every man and woman able to fight would be in the military by now.

A big plus for the UNSC is the fact that the Covenant want Earth intact for The Ark and the fact that the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters are coming to their aid. (This is almost guaranteed).

This is a likely reason why the UNSC could eventually win (after a lot of bloodshed). The odds are stacked against them, but it is their home turf.

Plus, they still have five of the most badass super soldiers spread out across the world to help.
