Didn’t Japan build a robot a while back
The UN would probably sell us out to be spared themselves. Nothing but a bunch of hire mercenaries being led by a group of people that have been detached from the people they represent for years.
Earth as a whole would be in trouble. a few pockets of humanity might survive.
“A handful.”
A single Covenant Assault Carrier would easily defeat the entirety of Earth’s armed forces. You might be thinking “well we have nukes”, the issue being the Covenant have significantly advanced tech to shoot down any rocket or plane we try to carry a nuke on. Simply put we wouldn’t stand a snowflake’s chance in Hell.
Especially given how Covenant energy shield technology applied to their ships can handle nukes (or at least protect them when the nuke brings the shields down).

You don’t even need an Assault Carrier, any SDV-class Heavy Corvette or CPV-class Heavy Destroyer can decimate entire continents before we even land a scratch.
As for the nuclear countermeasure, there is only one way to even have a chance of taking it down. Every nuke that can be fired via missile (Ground/Aircraft/Submarine-based) in Humanity’s arsenal has to be launched from as many directions possible at once. Throw in every regular SAM within range as well for good measure. Then pray the few dozen plasma cannons and point-defence guns on the ship get overwhelmed by tens of thousands of targets.
It’s basically the Archer missile strategy, but with nukes.
It’s funny but reading this reminds me of the ‘Axis Of Time’ trilogy from 2004, which depicted a ‘Post-Modern’ naval battle group of American, British and Indonesian warships being sent back in time to 1942. Long story short the Axis and Allies get ‘early access’ to lots of futuristic weapons and the blueprints to build them, but with very little capability to incorporate them into their own armies and economic infrastructure. It’s then a hectic up hill fight for the modern soldiers and sailors to prevent the -Yoink!-’s and Japanese from taking what they’ve learned to win the war.
I always thought this would make a great premise for a Halo novel set during the Great Schism, with 2 warring fleets of Covenant Jiralhanae and Separatist Sangheili somehow finding themselves sent back through time to 1942 in orbit over Earth. Obviously both sides would have adequate firepower to glass Earth to cinders many times over, however as there intention is to win the coming Great Schism both sides elect to ‘uplift’ humanity with their technology and use a unified and militarised human race to influence the future of the Covenant in this era of history. To this end the Jiralhanae side with the Axis and the Sangheili side with the Allies, with both sides intent on wiping the other out whilst doing as little damage Earth infrastructure and population as possible. (Basically they have to fight each other conventionally)
Imagine the possibilities of having a Sangheili Fleet Master or Imperial Admiral meeting Churchill, Roosevelt or Patton while also having RAF Spitfire’s and German Tiger tanks armed with Covenant plasma cannons and fuel rod missiles.
No we wouldn’t survive against the covenant.
We’d all be dead in 24 hours.
They’d probably go to the USA like aliens do in every single -Yoinking!- sy-fy film.

> I am pretty sure the Covenant would just stomp right over us. Those energy projectors and plasma torpedo’s are all they need to pretty much destroy Earth(not fully destroy but screw it up enough like by melting away the Ice caps and such.
Melting the ice caps won’t raise the sea levels as much as you think, because most of the ice in the ocean is already submerged in water so melting it will just change it from ice to water, only raising sea levels by around 20 meters, not 70 like scientists think.
Death would be swift
well… if the entire world cooperated we could have a chance of surviving
we all are talking about the US
but what about all of the other major military powers? they could help bring the covenant down.
and in ground forces, Earth could win because the small arms and most guns are alike the ones used in 2552
We lose, no question. My body would be ready to become glass or a meat pile with plasma burns.
