[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheRedFlag Instead of arguing about physics, think of practicality. You'd have to have a UNSC starship in orbit, with nothing better to do then to aim its MAC gun at the ground in order to kill one or two armored dudes running around with rifles. That seems like an incredible waste of time and energy. An aerial bombing run, ground-based artillery strike, or even a small tactical nuke sounds like a much more intuitive support weapon than a MAC gun strike.[/quote] If we argued like that, then does it make sense that Spartans who are supposed to be on the same side, are killing each other for a stupid flag alongside Elites? Hmm? It's multiplayer! Not much Canon there.
