In [[skirmish]] and multiplayer, the carpet bombing ability can only be used by [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]]. The ability can be upgraded up three times inside a [[UNSC Field Armory|Field Armory]], to cover more ground and to deal more damage. This power is very effective against all ground units and buildings. However, carpet bombing runs have no effect against air units. Another disadvantage is that the carpet bombing ability can damage allied units as well as enemies. | In [[skirmish]] and multiplayer, the carpet bombing ability can only be used by [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]].

==History== | |||
Carpet bombings have been used throughout the [[Human-Covenent War]], notably during the [[Battle of Alpha Base]] to destroy [[Wraiths]] | |||
for [[John Forge|Sergeant Forge's]] attack force allowing them to retake the base. The [[UNSC]] also used carpet bombings during the [[Fall of Reach]], during the [[Battle of Viery]] [[Longsword|Longswords]] carpet bombed [[Covenent]] [[Scarabs]] so [[UNSC]] forces could advance. Also when the [[Covenent]] attacked the orbital [[MAC]] generators the defending [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] called in the carpet bombing too closely and hit their own forces. | |||
