On the last mission chief blew up the didact’s ship with a nuke, im wondering why only chief was able to do this? Why not the infinity? Or one of the other dozen’s of ships nearby, what about the hundreds of mac cannons on stations orbiting all around earth? Or the mac cannon of the infinity and other ships near by? Or why couldn’t chief shoot his nuke when he was flying inside the airspace of the didact’s ship and then bail? It just seems from a outside point of view it makes no sense.
I’m only bumping because this hit page 3 in 2 minutes…
I don’t want to have to remind an E3 veteran that bumps aren’t allowed.
They had to make sure the Havok Minre A.K.A. nuke reached the Composer. If it didn’t and detonated early or the Didact caught it… then game over mission failure. Sending a Spartan into the “belly of the beast” ensured the Havok Mine would be detonated.
Because, Master Chief.
Chief had to ensure that the nuke reached the composer. In addition to that earths defenses were devastated during the battle of earth so there probably weren’t that many macs left in orbit.
It somthing from military history. Look up old war stories (or current ones) at times they had to send men to their deaths just to make sure it got done. (Most of the time it’s volunteers.)
Mc was pretty much flying by the seat of his pants. Also infinity could not hope to destroy that thing. Heck the dreadnought survived everything earth threw at it. The only reason why they punched a hole in the composer was because chief took down the sheilds in that area.
Another thing is that infinities captain had sort of a mental breakdown. And ran even though he had an advantage to take didact down before things got to bad. His crew either mutinied against him and ONI/unsc agreed with the crew or unsc/ONI didn’t agree and fired him. Lasky later returned to help chief take down didact as acting/captain. Chief went inside for one reason and its simple and the military know this one thing. Simple plans work. A ship is always weaker on the inside.
Wow… I think the last mission is the best of the game…I mean it look great and the flying is fun. So many weapons to choose and the Heros walk to success in the end…I LOVE IT!
