The covenant never attacked the humans casue they got in the way! Read you the story so far in your halo manual for the xbox!!! 'A battle group was sent out to space and on;y one ship came back speaking of seemigly unstoppable alein warship that had effortly annhiliated their forces. The covenant religous elders decalred humanity an affront to the gods and the covenant warrior caste waged a HOLY WAR upon humanity with gruesome diligence.' Thats more or less what it says. Keyes and Coratana in the first cinematic talk of how they escaped through sub space (after the attack on reach i think) and the covenant fine out where the pillar is headed and go aheaed to ambush!! Why do you think the Chief had to tkae cortana in the first place? because if the covneant got hold of her they would take her apart and leanr the location of earth!! Also the manua speaks of the cole protocol, no vessel may lead the covenant to earth!! it just happend that the jump through hyerspace lead everyone to halo and the planet next to it and the covenant then learend about its powere and thought they could use it against thee humans as keyes also wanted to use it against them! Also, its obvious the master chief isn't in the longsword fighter and the beginning of halo 2 becasue in the announcent ment trialer the ship is big enoguh to have a lift so it must b the one in the book a lot of you have mentioned!! Looks like the covenant learned the location of earth hey? i think the monitor sold it to them. he could have learnt it in that cut scene on 'The Maw' when cortana and the Chief are on the bridge and the monitor comments on human history.

Where do you make this &£$% from?Posted by: nyadach


Well, it is clearly obvious that the initial poster has never read ANY of the books. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE GAME.. HALO. Not any book that was written because bungie couldn't get the story across the first time. But if you would rather SPOIL the books, instead of recommending them as worth while reading material to the original poster, have at it.

Who built the Halo rings, the Forerunners or the AI Constructs (343 GS)? And for what reason was halo built? I know it could be used to wipe out all centenial (sik) life, but for what reason would the Forerunners (if they built it) want to do this?

If the first halo was to kill all life then why would there be another?
are the flood back?
are the covenent willing to kill themselves in order to destroy all the humans?
?????

Nope there will not be a HALO 2 eventhough it is in production.
Yes all the covenant are willing to kill themselves in order to kill the humans eventhough the'll make there speices extinct.
No the flood are to parascetic and numerours and effective and mysterious to be in HALO 2!
No dinosaurs are still alive even after the meteor killed them all.

SPOILERS!! An ancheint race known as the forerunners built Halo. In the game, it was said that Halo was a facility used to contain and study the flood. But Halo, or Halo(s) were also some kind of giant weapon(s) used to destroy all sentient life forms within a 25,000 light year radius (each ring has a 25k light year radius).. And once the other Halos followed suit.. The Galaxy would be quite devoid of life.. I guess this would be where we're supposed to believe this is the only way to kill off the flood.. By "starving" them of their food resources.. Or something stupid like that.. A lot of people ask the same question.. Why build it? You might be able to find the answers right here on Earth. WWTLD? j/k WMD.. Weapons of Mass Destruction. Something about self assured mutual destruction, or some saying like that?

Halo and the Flood could of been a similar type of leverage/weapon used, just on a larger scale.

The only reason that there should be another Ring is if the Forerunners found another race that was a danger to life but also they wanted it to stay alive. And if that's true they should make it a different type of species on the ring.
