[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cmdr DaeFaron A: Who says Carter frakking knows the situation of the fleet, being on the ground? Remember, the datapads had ONI basically funnel the ENTIRE fleet(pretty much) to the other side of the planet and kept in the dark about what was going on. The ground forces engaged there likewise could be in the dark about what's going on exactly in orbit. B: Again, ONI kept things in the dark.[/quote]Long Night of Solace has Carter state, all of our nukes are either out of system or went down with the ships that were carrying them. Makes no sense that they wouldn't have any Nuke's left still planetside, let alone the fact that Winter Contingency was declared on July 24, 2552 the entire UNSC fleet should have been at Reach by the time of Nightfall and Tip of The Spear. [quote]To second part, take it up with 343. They are the ones who said the Supercarrier had a cloaking device of some sort which allowed it to arrive and deploy forces without being detected. Also ties into the "ONI -blam!- had people clueless about what was going on."[/quote]343 Industries has to excuse it somehow, Bungie are the ones who wrote it. A cloaking device wouldn't have prevented the UNSC and ONI from detecting the Supercarrier exiting slipspace either way. [Edited on 09.23.2012 8:52 AM PDT]
