Yea but if Chief hadn't done what he did do then Earth and Infinity would of been screwed anyway. It was Lasky giving Chief the pelican that saved humanity.In this instance, fuck Chief the Infinity's safety is all that matters.

Very true.I disagree. I think the Infinity could've taken the ship down, it just would've been really messy. 10 shiva nukes going off above your planet is never a good thing.

Also true... It just would not be pretty...But if the Didact used the composer on Infinity of the bat the ship would be screwed. In like one shot the Didact digitized an entire city. The Infinity's big, not that big.

But in any case, just a classic example of Murphy's Law; if something can go wrong it will go wrong in the exact way you never thought of.

and if Del Rio had listened to the chief, New Phoenix would still be populated. Del Rio basically sold out thousands of people because he (from what i saw) didnt like the chief

Proving that he was a crappy captain, therefore Hood was of his nut. It is established that there are Forerunners around the place and the UNSC have only started to scratch the surface of their technology. Why would he not be prepared to face superior forces? It was like all humanity was doing during the entire war. And Chief wasn't asking much, but I agree trusting the rampant A.I wasn't a good idea (half of the bad shit is Cortanas fault.)Del Rio would have been an okay Captain under normal circumstances. He was totally unprepared to be thrust into the situation at hand.

Not necessarily. He probably would've excelled at doing the kind of warfare that was expected (fighting Covenant remnants and such). However, encountering Forerunners, arguably the most powerful force in the galaxy, was not what was expected. He needed to think "on his toes" and "outside of the box". For a "by the books" officer like Del Rio, that was not what happened. There are numerous cases in history when a brilliant general with numerous victories is utterly destroyed by an opponent who uses unexpected tactics. That doesn't make those generals "crappy" commanders, it just means they were not correct for the situation at handProving that he was a crappy captain, therefore Hood was of his nut.

Yup. But HICOM wasn't really expecting a war with a super-powerful Forerunner faction. They thought war was over. As was stated in a Halo 4 trailer (I think?) - the Infinity was an exploration ship. They weren't intending to do another massive war. For exploration, a captain like like Del Rio would be good - he'd "bring the ship back". Unfortunately, it did not go as planned...So first contact human tech sucks, covenant superior. Halo 4- Covenant, blowing in the wind, Human tech suck, Forerunner superior. it is the same combat but with much bigger toys.

Now let's take a look at Inifinity.... Infinity didn't have to get close for the Chief to shut down the stuff defending the Didact's Cryptum, a flight of Pelicans carrying marines and Spartans could have cleared out the guns in half the time if not faster and left the Didact defensless against the Inifinty's entire arsenal.
Long story short, putting 17,000 at potential risk vs millions of civilians and the entire planet... you do the math.
