Re: Why didnt the Covenant "GLASS" Halo??

In Response To: Re: Why didnt the Covenant "GLASS" Halo?? (Elf Lord)

They didn't glass it because they wanted it as a weapon. Until it was too late to do so, at which point they probably realized glassing it would not harm Halo--remember that their 'glassing' relied on energy weaponry, and that it was not so destructive as to do much more than heat up the surface temperature to melt it. That's probably not enough power to knock out Halo itself. The habitat, maybe. But they knew the MC was still on Halo, and that the weapon was ready to be fired. Killing off all of the plant and animal life wouldn't do them much good. I think by the end of the game they're as much confused as to what to do as you are.

They didn't destroy their ship when the Flood infected it because they didn't know the flood had taken over the ship. It's likely the Flood killed all outbound transmission.
