Talk:Mantle's Approach

Armaments: Ships?
Is there any information on the ships seen inside the Mantle's Approach? These are the ships best seen while moving towards the Composer in the man-cannon.Ocean Soul (talk) 03:52, 22 April 2013 (EDT)
 * I think those were Sentinels. -- SFH (talk) 18:37, 22 April 2013 (EDT)
 * No, they were much larger than Sentinels, and clearly resembled ships. I will see if I can get a picture somehow.Ocean Soul (talk) 19:02, 22 April 2013 (EDT)
 * You might be able to see them here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KX-XWjD61Tk#t=1030s Ocean Soul (talk) 19:05, 22 April 2013 (EDT)

New Content Template Still Needed?
Hey, is the New Content template still needed? From what I can see, it seems we have pretty much most, if not all, of the necessary information in the article. So maybe someone besides myself should go over it once or twice to be sure, then remove the New Content template. -- Xamikaze330  [Transmit |Files ] 00:33, 4 June 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

THE SHIPS SHIELDS
Does anybody know what the shields are made out of as not even the super macs could rip through the shields as they do towards any covenant ships. Could they be made out of hard light although when the infinity shot its mac guns it was able to puncture through it :/. Is it possible that the mac guns firing on it did take the shield down it but because the chief was on it with a nuke they decided not to keep shooting at it :/.

 * Was not the point of the Chief's Broadsword attack on the defense guns and the central energy thingy you fly around to disable local shielding in the Composer array weapon so the Infinity could get MAC rounds through? That was my impression. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 07:45, 19 September 2013 (EDT)

No, it was to disable the point defense guns. No mention is made of its shielding nor taking it down. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 11:29, 19 September 2013 (EDT)


 * I did say "probably". -- Xamikaze330  [Transmission |Commencing ] 12:31, 19 September 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

As for why the Infinity's guns were able to damage it, I'm guessing those weren't MACs it fired but lasers, which bypassed the shielding by being light instead of a solid projectile. The lasers can't do much damage to the ship itself compared to a MAC, but Infinity was only trying to create a hole anyway. That's my theory. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 14:24, 19 September 2013 (EDT)


 * Lasers I don't think the infinity has lasers I think they were mac guns.Spartan Matt (talk) 23:44, 20 September 2013 (EDT)

If they were MAC guns then they would have bounced off the shields. Lasers make more sense. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 23:57, 20 September 2013 (EDT)

The Mantle's Approach is 371,000m tall? WHAT!? That's larger than High Charity.

It's also 74 times larger than the Infinity. 173.35.51.107 22:05, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
 * And the guide provide that the Mantle's Approach is not even the largest ship in the entire fleet Forerunner.--They&#39;re coming. They&#39;re hungry. (talk) 22:12, 10 October 2013 (EDT)

The Mantle's Approach is larger than High Charity. Yet the Infinity is still able to puncture the hull and Chief is able to destroy the ship with a relatively tiny HAVOK Nuke. Either this is a typo, the writer's have gone insane, or Forerunners are scary mike foxtrots.
 * Maybe, when the HAVOK nuke exploded, generated a chain reaction that destabilized the Mantle's Approach's hardlight junctions plus the Composer's destruction generated even more damages to the ship.--They&#39;re coming. They&#39;re hungry. (talk) 23:11, 10 October 2013 (EDT)

And to say nothing of the Infinity taking on a ship 74 times its size and 50,000 times its age. Phalanx Actual 22:41, 10 October 2013 (EDT)


 * A 160lb human outweighs an average mosquito by about 3 million times. Can not a mosquito sting affect that human? The Infinity was only trying to make a hole the Chief's broadsword could penetrate to get the nuke near the Composer. The size of the Mantle's Approach is not a typo. It was one of the most worked out dimensions in the Guide, actually. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 22:51, 10 October 2013 (EDT)
