You forgot to mention that the Hunters only accepted under the threat of total orbital bombardment if they declined the Covenant's offer. They had no way of combating their warships and had to accept.

I remember reading this somewhere too

Everyone knows that they are invincible to all weapons unless Master Chief fires it himself. Those nearly useless marines sure don't help very much, with the exception of Sarge.

Funny that Brutes can melee them to death in Halo 2
-
never saw it happen. u can't prove anything.

Play Halo 2 when you reach the Mausoleum around the end of Gravemind where there are Elite Ultras, Hunters, Drones and Brutes going all out. Brutes will start going in for the melee with The Hunters.

nope. doesn't exist.

I found no sources that stated such a thing even though I do recall it.

Edited by NAStheMagiking: 9/7/2014 1:06:13 PMIn the Encylcopedia - page 299 - it mentions the Covenant using the threat of nuclear destruction of the Lekgolo home world in their efforts to control them. Closest I could find, but I'm sure there is something that mentions 'orbatal bombardment'.

I'm pretty sure it was in the Halo 3 Bestiarium.

It's not in there.
-
Well I'm not crazy. It's definitely somewhere.
-
I remember reading it, too. I can't find 'orbital bombardment', explicitly, but in the Encyclopedia it states the Lekgolo were threatened with nuclear destruction of their planet.
-
I think it was more along the lines of 'glassing' or plasma bombardement, but it still means orbital bombardment regardless.
-
I do remember something specifically using bombardment - I wrote as much in my earlier post in this same thread - but I'm lost on where I read it. I thought it was the Encyclopedia, but that's the closest I could find. I'll keep looking, though.
-
It's not in the encyclopedia because I've never gotten my hands on it and read through it. It's something older.
-
Ah, right. Hmm. This is a little frustrating, haha.
-
Maybe in the Halo Wars timeline thingy? Idk

Edited by Omegasys™: 9/7/2014 9:46:54 PMmaybe, it doesn't exist, and you're both crazy. it's always a possibility. if it did, i wouldn't know, so don't ask me.
