Yeah. All of Earth got hit pretty hard.
Australia was leveled, Cleveland was invaded, and Antarctica was attacked. Those are some notable ones.

Forerunner Artifact.
-
So basically all of Earth was almost levelled like Reach?
-
Not exactly. But every continent suffered extreme casualties. Billions died at Earth.
-
That is why there isn't any real winners in this war, there were so many casualties, it wasn't the victors and the losers, it was the survivors.
-
Almost, yes. Africa got hit the hardest though. Then it got glasses by the Sangheili.
-
I thought it was glassed by the Brutes...
-
It wasn't glasses by the Brutes because they needed to find the Portal to the Ark. When the Sangheili showed up, they glassed Africa to prevent the Flood from spreading.
-
I thought Voi was the only place in East Africa to be glassed, due to the Flood landing in Voi.

Edited by друг: 2/14/2015 11:18:46 PMHere is a quote from Lord Hood, "And you, Shipmaster, just glassed half a continent. Maybe the Flood isn't all I should be worried about." Whether this is an exaggeration or not, I don't knowZ

It's been generally accepted that Hood was exaggerating the [i]half a continent [/i] part though it was a some what large area.
-
[i]half[/i] a continent, not all of Africa, though it may just be an exaggeration.
