Re: Why didn't the Covenant just shoot the MAC's??

In Response To: Re: Why didn't the Covenant just shoot the MAC's?? (Endbringer)

: I think it's a pretty sound tactic considering the circumstances. Regret
: problably didn't know just how heavily defended Earth was otherwise he may
: have thought twice before attacking with such a small fleet. Also the
: Covenant may have learned to respect our Super MACs ability to take out a
: ship with only one shot and came up with ways to neutralize them without
: risking the ships. I wonder if the Covenant have any more ships with that
: beam weapon that allows them to snipe our ships from a safe distance.
: You'd think a weapon like that would be apart of a hierarchs fleet.

Also, you're not going to fire a heavy MAC round at a Boarding Craft, only twice the length of a Pelican, in the depths of space. Cortana said the Covenant fleet jumped in "just outside the kill zone", so the MACs couldn't quite fire at them at that point, yet an officer on Cairo stated there were incoming "Boarding Craft, and lots of 'em!" If the MACs could be taken out from within before the Cruisers and Carriers came in range of them, that sounds like a pretty good tactic to me.
