flood are invalid. once the flood come into the picture, everyone dies (including the flood. tehy consuming everything alive and then die out). so no one wins the only way to bypass borg shield modulation was to use frequency modulated weaponry, something the covenant has in no way been proven capable of.

[quote who="JagerJack" reply="7" id="2323265"] It has nothing to do with continuity or them forgetting, the rocket launcher models between Halo 2 and 3 are different. They changed it for balance reasons, having a one or two hit kill that homes in on players is a little ridiculous. The homing feature was taken away from the rocket launcher in Halo 3 and given to the Missile Pod, which takes several shots to kill most things. [/quote] so they still are m

[quote]related issue is the DPS of Vasari cap ships. Why are these so low? Why does the Vulkoras do 41 DPS compared to a Marza 54 or even an Akkan's 50. Don't give me that crap about the Akkan being a side-shooter. Skirantra does 24 DPS compared to Sova's 36. There is no excuse for that. None.[/quote] this was already discussed and iirc it came down to an issue of vasari caps having good firing arcs, so they actually get pretty good dps in most any direction (vs. others caps good

[quote who="GrandAdmiralSova117" reply="5" id="2323234"] Have you ever played it on Legendary or consider game balance? What fun is it to have a tac nuke drop on your head, because in the books the Wrath's blast destroys everything in a 20 meter radius. So neither the books or games have to be thrown out, because they can be used to gather. Also, can the Enterprise survive the PoA reactors overloading? You, know the ship from the first game that is worthless next t

well, hell, tanks in halo can't even do jack shit to a jeep. source:halo 3. the thing just gets topped in its tracks then takes off again. on the other hand, im sure the enterprise is quite capable of destroying a tank...or a ship :) oh yeah and either the halo books or games have to be thrown out...in books plasma pistols /rifles were uber strong, like a 2 hit kill, in the games they don't do jack.

if you make squadrons cost money then leave cap carriers with free squadrons (since their fabication facilities are far beyond what carrier cruisers could possibly have) same for hangers. that unto itself would be buffing cap carriers.
