And no, I'm not linking it.
and I'm sure most of us are familiar that almost all UNSC ships have slipspace drives!
I don't see why the UNSC couldn't just strap a booster to a slipspace drive and start removing entire chunks off planets and supercarriers.
Spartans would be useless compared to the destructive power of completely removing areas of a planet and, for example, teleporting parts of a supercarrier into a sun.

Slip space drives were said to be prohibitively expensive. You could either build one slip space missile that, if shot down, would do nothing, or you could give a war ship the ability to operate in multiple solar systems/flee the covenant.
