There is something I dont get about this level. The Covenant order a full retreat from Halo. The Flood overwelm the Truth and Reconciliation. The Covenant send over a huge team of elite sodiers to recover and repair it and they still get their butts kicked. Why dont they just blow it up. I mean Hit it with Banshees, their tanks, dropships and I dont know how bout some other fricken cruisers! And how did the flood get there exactly, I mean wasnt it a good while away from them, and it was still crewed by Covenant, and wasnt still defended and they cant jump that far and you had to wait for the energy lift to recharge and all. And I also think all those fricken hunters could repel borders!
The Flood are extremely powerful and are great in numbers. The infection forms wouldn't even need the grav lift, they could just sneak on a Covenant dropship or Banshee, or into a cargo crate and they would be brought in, they could kill a Grunt or Jackal, multiply and take over the bodies for combat forms and continue to raise hell. EDIT: And by the way, I've seen infection forms take down Hunters.
But still why dont they just blow up the cruiser???
Because those kinds of things are expensive, I dunno. The Covenant probably just didn't want to admit defeat.
You blew up Halo...
