Yes, I know that there have been at least 5 different threads about this. However, none of those threads have stayed alive. I plan to change that.

You can chose the weapons for your army (be realistic or it will not be considered. For instance, don't give all your guys Snipers.)

In this mission, you have a squad of Spartan 3s (5), 4 Scorpions, 10 LAAG Warthogs, 5 Gauss Warthogs, 2 Wolverines, 2 Cougars, 1 Pelican, 5 Sparrowhawks, 6 Marines, 2 ODST squads, and 2 Sniper squads. Your mission is to defend a base. You can provide the specs for the entrance to the base, and the base itself. The attacking force is 2,000 Grunts, 800 Elites, 100 Ghosts, 50 Wraiths, 10 Phantoms, and 5 Seraphs. You may chose to fight as either the Covenant or the Humans.     

 

 

Okay, what I do is go FPS with a SPARTAN III

 

I grab a tank and kill everything while my friends run around doing someone else's battle plan

 

I my tank dies I use a sniper rifle and one of the rocket launchers and finish the rest of the Covies off.  I won't die cuz SPARTAN IIIs have camouflage

 

A flawless plan 

I will play as your opponent.  Just to show you how idiotic your plan is.  Because your friends are idiots, they go off on their own ways because they're Spartan IIIs.  One charges the covenant force thinking it is exactly like Halo and that he can kill everyone easily because "He beat legendary"  He is picked off by over a hundred grunts because he runs at them and the camoflauge doesn't work well at high speed.  Your second friend grabs a warthog and honks for Marines to get in and follow him.  together with four more warthogs, they charge at the grunts and find themselves intercepted by the phantoms and seraphs.  The warthogs are picked off without much hesitation and he dies.  You grab the tank and four marines hop on armed with rockets.  you fire from long range at the enemy body of thousands of troops.  The Seraphs dive bomb you and you are forced out of the tank and you activate your active camo.  you move to a far off area and shoot at the enemy forces with the sniper rifle while camo is engaged.  your position is zeroed in and the covenant glass your area in a 500 meter radius with seraph and Wraith plasma weaponry. Your base is bombarded into the ground with the wraiths and seraphs.  Your troops cannot do a thing because you didn't lead them.

Enemy losses

12 elites.

30 grunts.

Your losses.

Everyone.

So much for flawless victory noob.

Okay, here is my own battle(I'm trying to start this up again, cause its pretty cool).

Your mission is to capture a Covenant base. It is on top of a plateau with only a narrow path(large enough for a scorpion to traverse with still a little bit of room) up. The path is rigged and the covenant dont use it. They know the attack is coming, and have fortified their base as best they could.

Your forces are-5 battalions of ODST( a battalion is roughly... 770 troops), 50 scorpions, 250 warthogs, 25 Sparrowhawks, 250 pelicans(note, a pelican can only carry 10 passengers), and 30 hornets. Note, if base is unable to be captured you are to deploy a tactical nuke inside the base(at least a few floors down inside the plateau), but it would be greatly preferred if you captured because the UNSC would not only be able to use it as a base of operations, but also as an energy source.

Enemy forces- 20,000 grunts, 400 ghost, 200 well positioned plasma turrets,5000 brutes,25 wraiths and 500 banshees. Remember this is a base, with walls, trenches, ect. The plateau is roughly 5 miles wide... the covenant base is stationed closest to the narrow path, and there are defenses up in case somebody lands on the plateau and attacks its eastern wall.

 

Good luck.

Weapon of Choice- Unknown

Let's assume you (humans) fell into a trap. You are in a small crescent shaped canyon with the entrance blocked off by 20 Brutes with Brute shots behind a row of 10 jackals. On ledges inside the canyon are 4 Jackal snipers and 6 Grunts with Fuel Rods. A swarm of Drones (approx. 20) is hovering right above your group of 2 snipers, 2 rockets, 3 Elites with swords, 6 MA5B wielders, and 2 Elites duel-wielding plasma rifles while three more have carbines.

Note: you can salvage weapons from the fallen(friend or foe) and each human has 4 frags, Elites with 2 plasma grenades.

Snipers target snipers, rockets target grunts, troops with guns fire at drones, carbines harrass jackals and brutes, move back in a defensive circle formation to the edge of the canyon.  Rockets target jackal group and snipers pick off any troops left.  Rush with swords first.

 I don't think anyone else's plan involved marines running around randomly

 Since when were the Covenant smart enough to zero in and glass my position anyways

and they wouldn't have any aircraft because tanks are awesome at shooting them down

btw SPARTAN IIIs don't engage their camo, it's built into the armor. Read Ghosts of Onyx again

The plateau is roughly 5 miles wide... the covenant base is stationed closest to the narrow path, and there are defenses up in case somebody lands on the plateau and attacks its eastern wall. 

 

Why don't I get any artillery?

 If I have a lot of time I fortify my side of the narrow path and use most of the warthogs as AA guns, the sparrowhawks and pelicans can support them.  50 of the hogs and all tanks can attack the covenent as they flee the trap they are for some reason only now realizing they are in

after awhile, my vehicles withdraw cuz they're going to be overrun and the ghosts/wraiths follow only to be defeated by my hidden infantry

 

Plan only works if I've got time, there is a forest or hills near the plateau, and I have an agressive Covie leader.

(the reason the covenant leave their base is cause they're running out of methane and food/water) 

You dont have much time.... you realize this is the base your going to use as your base of operations, for future battles. Artillery is unavaible because you do not want to damage the structures too much. No, they will not leave. They are self sufficient to an extent. They could hold out for about 4-6 months without any supplies. And this base is also connected to other bases via underground tunnels... You have a little bit of time, but I personally think this is a more short scale battle. The leader is a brute(aka, very offensive), and the land around are other plateaus/large hills, but this is the largest one in the surrounding area.

 

 

 

 

That is me suggesting a new plan. but for your old plan.

 

IF you had the conditioned you wanted.(this is without the underground tunnels)

and their vehicle's wouldn't be draw out. 

The Covie would bombard your troops from above with their tanks, and their banshees would of overwhelmed your air force by sheer numbers. The siege goes on, over months you slowly wear down their air force. After about 5 months they start probing for ways through your barriers. By this time they only have about 25-50 banshees. They would bombard you as best possible with their tanks, then from behind you would have a wave of unarmed grunts(bout 2000) to overrun anything back there and while these are easy to kill, their very vicious.... after that comes some brutes, bout 250 of them, and after that another wave of 5000 unarmed grunts, then a few hundred armed grunts. Your front is being bombarded with similar tactics. All in all, within 30 minutes of vicious fighting, your forced to call for evac.

Loses

all vehicals

and 3500 of your ODST's.

Enemy Loses

7,000 grunts

490 banshees

150 ghost

a few plasma turrets

and 2000 brutes

 

 

If your wondering how you got attacked from behind, they call for additional support. Without a strong base, your easily overrun.

 

 

 

Mission Failed---

 

 

 

 

A new plan with the new stuff I've told you, any more questions? and I know that your outnumbered, and outgunned, but this mission isnt impossible. Remember, they cant arm most of their grunts, and the only thing keeping the grunts in line are the brutes.

Good luck. 

first i would shoot my scorpians at them from the other side of the path, then i would have 50 of my wart hogs charge after my scorpians stop firing, then i would send my sparrow hawks in on a bombing run while the hornets protect them, once they are out of bombs they stop bombing and dog fight while some of the wart hogs use the turrets as AAguns.  after my first wave of warthogs charged i would send another 50 warthog wave followed by 10 scorpians and 1 battalion of ODST while my scorpians on the other side of the path resume firing after that i would send in the rest of the wart hogs followed by my ODST then the tanks all but 10 that stay behind and fire.  i would send my pelicains in and tell them to aim for the wraiths and drop there troops on the wall.  then after i would send in the rest of my scorpians.
