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?? (M6D)

: It seems to me more then anything, as ive already stated regret was to
: OCCUPIED, with the human fleet running interferance, you see, you even see
: a cruiser take a heavy disabling or damaging hit to the bottom, this SHOWS
: us that the human fleet were effectively distracting the covenant so they
: wouldnt target the battlestations, more or less sacrifice or to at elast
: keep the covie guns occupied.

This 'SHOWS' us nothing. Except that Bungie felt it wouldn't be fair for the big bad spaceship to kill you with no chance to do anything about it. Which I'll agree, wouldn't be fun. It's just not quite believable, however.

: And this im pretty sure is down to somthing, say in game you notice cairo is
: acutally lacking completey any point defense weapondary, either not
: modelled or an over sight, well, strictly speaking in the 'haloverse' if
: we take out game mechanics etc, im sure that tehse stations would have
: point defense, the tactic of using hundreds of bombs likely wasnt chosen
: due to the fact that the bomb would need to be wired up to detonante upon
: impact, and considering the suddern improvisation of the battle i doubt
: the covies had time.

If the Cairo had point defense systems, it would be shooting down boarding craft. The bomb that was on Cairo didn't magically teleport itself there, it had to be carried by a ship. If I were in command, and there's a good chance my boarding craft were going to be shot down, I'd send more than one bomb to each station, just to be sure I got it.
