Talk:Mantle's Approach: Difference between revisions

:In ''Halo: Uprising'', they were perfectly willing to fire on the Forerunner Dreadnought knowing Master Chief was inside. They gave him a warning to get out, but it's one life versus billions.

I think if space combat in the Halo universe has any one rule, it's that sustained fire can bring down anything. As I recall, it wasn't just ''Infinity'' going after ''Mantle's Approach'', and I see no reason why, given the situation, Earth's defenders wouldn't throw everything at it, including the kitchen sink. Additionally, I'd like to point out that the ''Infinity'' is more than 5.5km long; a MAC station's primary weapon is about 1km. The general rule in the Halo universe for UNSC ships is that the length of the ship is dictated largely by the length of the MAC system, and the longer it is the more powerful it is. Given that, it's reasonable to assume that the ''Infinity'' actually possesses a more powerful array of MAC weapons than an actual "Super MAC". --[[User:SNovah|SNovah]] ([[User talk:SNovah|talk]]) 01:47, 15 October 2013 (EDT)
