User blog comment:Sith Venator/Grand Army of the Republic vs Covenant Empire/@comment-181289-20111002020238

A really tough choice, but I gotta give my vote to the Covenant Empire, do to there Capital Ship being capable of Glassing Republic ground forces. but Also on the ground the Covenant ground forces are truly a force to reckon with. Sure there's cannon fodder like the Grunts and sorta the Jackals, but the Elites, Brutes and Hunters will dominate the clones. The Republic while probably having more accurate weapons really doesn't have much ground defense compared to the upper ranking Covenant forces, who have armor and shields and Covenant weapons deplete shields very quickly, which gives them the edge in space battles. Had this been The Empire vs Covenant Empire I'd of probably sided with the Empire, but the relatively inexperienced Clones who's only experience is fighting near mindless droids won't be quiet up to the task of taking the battle harden Covenant army.
