what is this 'glassing" people are talking about? is it just a fancy word for destroying a planet or is a method?

Read the books - it's when Covvie space ships rain plasma down on a planet, creating a glassy finish that wipes out EVERYTHING.

if you have read the books then you would know that glassing is when the covenant basicly melt the planet from orbit. Thus glassing the planet.

It's a pretty universal term, when the heat of the plasma turns the sand into glass, it looks like that.

if sarcasm was not intended , my apologies. btw they should add a sarcasm option for writing.

  • 05.25.2004 5:43 PM PDT

Well, there was absolutely nothing that could be construed as sarcasm. Sarcasm would be "no, I have no idea what glassing is".

Glassing is when the Covenant hit a planet with so much plasma that the sand (dirt, rocks, etc.) literaly look like glass.

No it isn't because the covenant were glassing the planet in 'The Fall of Reach' and they were using plasma and it wasn't all nuclear bombs.

what i think elitepimp was thinking of when he said nuclear like bomb was the bomb the remaning UNSC forces made hoping A:the covenant would take it back to thier home world and it would detonate and kill them all or B:the bomb would kill evry thing on reach including the covenant forces (i do not condone harm to any covenant except jackels) but then again im only on page 220 so what do i know
