Forum:Covenant Strategy

Unfortunately, I haven't found much time to explore the Halo Expanded Universe outside of Evolutions, Contact Harvest, and the Cole Protocol, in addition to most items available online. So, I have a bit of a question for Covenant campaign strategies. This may or may not have been featured in the novels.

Question - If there were no Forerunner artifacts on a UNSC colony, would they make an attempt deploy ground troops before glassing the planet? It doesn't seem like they would since there would be nothing of value on the surface, though there may be exceptions, such as if Halsey was touring on a planet when the fleet captured here in The Package. (Infinityverse does regard Legends as canon.)

Thanks ahead of time! ...  Rozh  (Tik Tok) 17:16, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
