Okay, okay ill stop. I know when im beaten. --CookieMonstersayshello 07:01, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Sanghelli

Please stop with the whole tactics thing the tactics aren't better than the other because bothhave worked well at times. Forgive My English TALK TO ME BABY 23:28, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Thing is, though Halopedia seems to feel the need to gold up human tactics even more than sangheili tactics --CookieMonstersayshello 13:34, 19 May 2011 (EDT)

England

Please calm down. Halo is American so therefore we use American style English and grammar. Forerunner agrees with me. That was the reason I reverted your edits. And don't accuse me of stalking your edits. That's immature I check every to make sure it's grammatically correct. "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 10:12, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

I, myself am English and life just a few miles out from Leeds. It was decided that we adopt a single dialect because of Bungie's American origins and the use of the US dialect throughout publications - this stops us having edit wars where both are equally acceptable like on Wikipedia.-- Forerunner 12:34, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

My point is: England is not the United Kingdom so I dont see how the way im writing isnt american english. I say leeds is in the North of england because it IS in the North of england, if its ok to say portsmouth is on the south coast I can say leeds is in the north of england. Bit of a logic to it if you know whadda mean. --CookieMonstersayshello 12:41, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Oh - that stuff? Necessity. Firstly we don't know of any changes to the structure of the UK between now and the 26th century; it's the same reason why we only have articles on some planets of the Sol system. Also I am unsure as to your separation of locations into north and south - are you using a longtitude mark as a separator or the cultural North/South divide? Personally I would have used regions.-- Forerunner 13:00, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Thats what i mean the north and south regions. --CookieMonstersayshello 13:02, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

And I therefore dont see why saying Leeds in is the north is a crime or not in american english --CookieMonstersayshello 13:05, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Perhaps they just preferred the UK one better because we had an article for it - get as much links to it as we can. Very, very minor, and further reversion could lead to a Halopedia equivalent of WP:LAME-- Forerunner 14:42, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

But if Australia is classed as a country, why isnt England classed as a country as England IS a country. Its just laziness and insulting in our national identity and americans (no offense) often get this whole thing wrong and im TIRED of it. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:44, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Alright this is what I was told on my talk page concerning the type of English we use on Halopedia by Forerunner. Enjoy... "I don't recall it being written though it is generally-agreed by the community, including most Commonwealth speakers."

Its fine its fine its sorted. --CookieMonstersayshello 16:59, 5 June 2011 (EDT)

Edit stalking

Buddy you do realize that I'm not the only one undoing your edits. You were blocked for vandalism so I'd think they would be on my side. Cheers! PRESIDENT1234 12:11, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

You also should realize that None of your recent edits were undone by me. Seriously take it up with the people who undo your edits. PRESIDENT1234 12:18, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

My friend, please

No one is "stalking" you, or going after you out of malice. We simply wish to keep this Wiki what it should be: An encyclopaedic, impartial collection of articles that tells it how it is. Military tactics are the techniques of using all your weapons and units to the best effect to win a battle. "Good tactics" are thought of as those that allow one side to bring the greatest damage to the enemy while minimising their own casualties. In this aspect, the Covenant are poor tacticians. They care not how many ships or troops they must sacrifice for an objective: In The Fall of Reach, they brought a Covenant supercruiser to the engagement that could have theoretically sniped the entire UNSC fleet away from long range, yet they still sent ships into the MAC guns. Likewise, they sent thousands of troops onto Reach without orbital support, and the UNSC fleet destroyed hundreds of those dropships as they entered Reach's atmosphere. The objective of these troops was to destroy the generators for Reach's Orbital Defense Platforms, thus giving the fleet a way in, so they understand strategy, or how engagements relate to each other to complete an overarching objective, but they have no idea how to employ good tactics. In fairness, there's probably a racial element to it: In First Strike, the Sangheili don't care how many Unggoy they have to send across a minefield to clear it, as long as the minefield is clear for them and the Kig-yar to get to the generator beyond. For a real-life example of this, look at us: We care not how many mice, rats, or monkeys are sacrificed while testing medicines, or how many cows with mad cow disease are culled, for what are they compared to the survival of humanity? This will probably change now that the independent Sangheili don't have the Unggoy to use as cannon fodder, and won't want to risk their own people. Had a Human commander leading Human troops been in the same situation, he probably would have radioed for Mine-Clearing Line Charges to clear the field, and then have his men advance by fire and manoeuvre while covered by artillery or air support. As for "1 single Major Elite could take on 4 marines and still win", that has little to do with tactics, but everything to do with technology: The Major has a plasma weapon that will blow through the Marines' armour like it isn't there (seriously, a plasma pistol tore open Sam's MJOLNIR armour in The Fall of Reach), and he is protected by energy shields. Of course, if the Marines adopt an elevated position, stay hidden, concentrate their fire and use a grenade - use good tactics, in other words - that's another story altogether...--The All-knowing Sith'ari 13:53, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

AHHH!!! Now I get it, your basically saying the Covenant have got the strategy right, they just need to work on their tactics. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:09, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Yes, I meant that entirely.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 14:11, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

Thank you. Someone who actually knows what hes talking about and not do the old covenant bashing that seems to be standard, im not being sarkie, when i say that okay. God, somones got the message that the covenant millitary plans arent all bad. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:20, 7 July 2011 (EDT) Im adding you.

You must, however, stop editing articles in the way you have been doing. It will not earn you friends and may result in a ban.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 14:25, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I understand, but at the same time dont you think we should rephrase articles like the Elite page and stop all this business with tactics being confused with strategy. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:25, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I mean like, say that the elites are good strategists which they are, rather than "skilled combat tacticians". --CookieMonstersayshello 14:26, 7 July 2011 (EDT) If you know what I mean.

I agree that too often tactics are confused with strategy. However, the average officer of any military should not find it difficult to see how engagements relate to each other. I think the Sangheili get strategic goals like "destroy Reach, cripple Humanity's war-fighting capability and destroy their resolve" and "destroy Earth, cripple Humanity's war-fighting capability even further and destroy their resolve to the point of losing faith in further resistance", but I think that's pretty much all they get. I think the Sangheili are at best average strategists, and poor tacticians, and poorer soldiers than they could be.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 14:33, 7 July 2011 (EDT)

I see why you'd say elites are poor tacticians, as there code of honour gets in the way of thinking outside the box but id say their good strategists, i dunno about "poor soldiers" as they do seem to be better trained than the marines, army troopers and slightly more so than the odsts in the way that they are more mobile, alot quicker, seem to be better shots etc. Also you gotta take into account alpha base, even though that was a disaster you gotta admire the elites ingenuity at the start:

Alpha Base

Trick the UNSC marines into thinking they are another pelican when in reality they are an armed force sent in to raid Alpha Base and kill John117.

Drone-Usage Strategy:

Use them as a diversion so that the covenant allies can attack on the ground.

But I will agree that the Elites' tactics due to their code of honour "getting in the way" could be improved. --CookieMonstersayshello 14:38, 7 July 2011 (EDT)
