OK your all forgetting that the Covenant take speices that they defeated and making them apart of their own. If any of you have the PC players guide it gives you some little tid bits into the covie. Like how they couldn't defeat the Hunters on ground so they had to bombard their homeworld till they surrender'd.


Just my opinion but Books 1 and 3 SUCK. They make the master cheif and the marines wusses. Its like Star Trek/Halo. The 2nd one is pretty good. It'll make you play the game over again but man is it good. They make the Flood way creepier then they seem in the game. The only thing I liked about the 3rd book was that Srg Johnson made it.


of course the MC will seem kinda -blam!- in book 3.hes in space!!! he cant fight on a starship like he can on the ground!!

I'm not sure that the truth behind the covenant attacking us is that we are a stain in the universe. i heard somewhere that the prophets lived on the same planet as the forerunners, like the forerunners were their gods or something. Tell me if im wrong. If we are somehow related to the forerunners sorta like apes are related to us, wouldnt the prophets want to get rid of us for that reason instead of the other?

Also if Earth was a significant planet on the way to a clensed planet for the forerunners is it possible that some were left there and de evolved into the humans or something. Maybe Earth was the clensed planet. Just thinking here.

i very much think that some way humans are related to the forerunners but i think the reason earth is still there because they want to scour it for objects like they did on reach.

Let me think....maybe because there is massive -blam!- resistance from the human military, preventing them from doing it, go figure.

Not to start an agruement over politics. I like Ace of spades idea. The prophets and forerunners shared a planet. Forerunners evolve and such and such. Humans come into the picture at sometime or another. Prophets don't like humans (we stole their chicken, crashed the car....pick a reason no one really knows) and decides to get rid of us. Then the rest of the covenanet come into play. The prophets don't tell the truth and give the cov a reason to kill us(pick on no one outside of bungie knows). It happens today in some countries.

LEGENDARY IS challenging for some ... but ... I AM NOT LEGENDARY ... I AM A MYTH!!!


*okay they dont hav the power to destroy a planet, in Halo the wantd to use the Ring planet Halo to annihilate the human race... but really it would hav kill everything except for Guilty Spark, Sentinels, and Floods. and there isnt and forerunner artfact on Earth, -blam!-! i hav been trying to tell evryone that their is a secondary installation of Halo coming... OKAY... most levels are on Earth, secondly is on another Halo, and the least levels are on the Moon. ther... and convenant doesnt hav that kind of power to destroy Earth. lik the planet "Reach"... they were all slaughtered and destroyed, but didnt blow up the planet! this is Bungie/Halo... NOT Star Wars doofus(sorry.)

Maybe they still aren't sure of our technological advances on our homeplanet. Obviously your home world is going to be the most well defended of all.

im just jumping in on an early hypothisis on how they found earth. if you pay any atention to halo's story they get it from the piller of autum after it crashlands on halo

alright they don't blow up planets they glass them, but as it kills everything it is pretty much blowing them up. afew covenant cruisers can accoplish this and there are at least 2 from the teaser demo. someone stated it isn't glassed because of the fight we're outting up against them. what fight? if cruisers are around (and have landed on) Earth it means we no longer have a space fleet to stop them or obital mac cannons. also it sounds like Earth is very much occupied by the covenant. covenant only usually occupy planets when they want something on the ground otherwise they'll just glass it (ie obliterate it from orbit). so therefore there is obviously something forerunner on earth or something else that they desire. its the only reason possible. and yes i agree with the fact they won't substigate us into their empire as its quite clear they want us extinct (see my signiature from the halo e3 demo and 1st book)

by the way gobi referring to an old statement of yours its best to at least read the 1st halo book before reading the 3rd as it will make less sense, the second one won't matter so much

galssing is when they superheat the surface of the planet to extreme temperatures like 3,000 degrees ferenheit (i dont know what temperautre but its like that hot) its still there but u cant do anything with that planet

its like a charcoal at the end of the ordeal but alot of it turns to glass because of the heat hence the term glassing. by the way i wouldn't put it past the covenant to have something that could actually blow up a planet like the death star

I don't see how we can even touch the Covenant Homeworld because somewhere in the 3rd book it says that they cataloge anything bigger than a grain of sand entering their system and then destroy it.

its at the start of the very last chapter, larger than a centimeter i think or something like that. and protocol changes hourly making captured ships impossible to infiltrate. ye to be honest i have no idea how we can get close and i bet their planetary defences (their equivalent to orbital MAC cannons) are phenominal

no it isn't because if they we're giving them too much trouble and there we're nothing they needed except victory earth would already be glassed and everyone on it dead
