i was randomly thinking and for some reason the thought of a battle between the two mentioned parties at full power came to mind. only limit i would impose would be that the covenant can not fall back into orbit and glass the surface of the planet that the battle takes place on.
Who do you think would win guys?
-
Depends..are we talking about the pussy Halo 3 Covenant, or the badass Halo Reach ones?
-
The only thing the Covenant has to do is hover above the ground in their ships and fire down.They don't even have to glass it. Pretty much every scenario the Covenant would win.
-
You never said anything about the Covies ships firing on targeted positions located on the planets surface. Even without Capitol Ships in orbit backing them up, the Covenant would have only minor difficulties overrunning the Locust.
-
One word: Grunts.
-
The Locust lack the huge technological prowess of the Covenant - glassing or not.
-
The Covenenat would just glass them and spam down a bunch of Scarabs and Hunters.
-
Canonically a plasma pistol bolt can take a human's arm off. With all of the Locust's vehicles being made of flesh, small arms fire could wear down even toughest Brumak. This isn't even a contest.
-
Book Covenant > Locusts Locusts > Game Covenant
-
A more reasonable fight... but the Covenant would win. The Covenant's technology is vastly superior.. and they actually have a working Air Force type armada.
-
Why do people even consider this? The Locust Horde are ants compared to the Covenant.
-
Covenant would win very easily..
