Re: So, the array...
Posted By: Peptuck	Date: 4/7/08 4:56 p.m.
In Response To: Re: So, the array... (ACEfanatic02) : Key word: tactical. : Halos seem to be both tactical and strategic weapons. (Difference being that : a tactical weapon is directly useful in application, whereas a strategic : weapon is useful by possession -- think "M16A4" and : "nuclear warhead(s).") : We know for a fact that Flood can be killed by brute force. I suspect the : Halos have an ability to directly obliterate short-range targets; however, : it makes sense for the effectiveness to decrease with distance. (Ergo, : starvation becomes a more efficient strategy.) : -ACE If the tactical pulse is "brute force" then that means it directly applies radiation to destroy the target, and would probably kill anything alive int he blast radius. Probably do a lot of damage to nonliving objects as well. Might be why the Ark suffered so much damage. Still, we know the strategic pulses destroy Flood as well, according to Terminal Six.
