I have a question on the Halo story, I mean I play it a lot and more than every game but im curious. My question is how did the covenant get onto the ring? was it thier world because when on the truth and reconciliation they said that the covenant were still trying to find the control room, I mean they could of won the war long ago. So my question is it there world or not?

They wanted to find Halo because they thought It was a huge weapon to kill a planet or so with. They didn't know what it really was for till later.

The covenant had originally thought that halo was a big weapon but later you find out in the game that halo was created to study the flood. The covenant had no ida it was created for that reason and by the time they found out it was to late and the flood were out and killing everybody.

Ohhh ok so it really wasnt a weapon it was a study device, wait it was a weapon because it was giong to destroy the galaxy or universe and on Two betreyls in the begining of the level cortona says that a pulse can shoot deep into space.

Here's what I don't understand:

The Halo's are to destroy the food of the flood right?
Why didn't the forerunners make the Halo's so they killed the Flood instead?

its a weapon AND a research facility to study the flood, and i think that the covenant STUMBLE across Halo just like the Pilar of Autumn did with their blind jump, the covenant followed them and there you have it

edit:

cause the only way to KILL the flood is to starve them to death

I also forgot to menttion the fact that it was most likly the [color=white]HALOS[/color] that had killed a civilization called the forerunner long ago and that is why the covenant thought it was a weapon.

Yes there are more then one halos out there. there called installations and the one that the MC was on was Installation 04.

go play Halo again and listen to the dialog this time. they tell you the only way to kill the flood is to wipe out it's food which is every other living thing.

No originally we were following the covenant to halo but we got ourselves shotdown. The MC's original mission was to bring back one of those prophets so we could study them but everything was messed up because the pillar of autumn was shot down.

Its possible the flood could exist on a planet because remember the Halo was meant to study and wacth the flood.

So the humans were following the covenant and found Halo and then they got shot down. But I dont get the thing I thought that they were leading them away from earth.

hmm well the original mission was that the MC needed to get a prophet so maybe they had followed the covenant. But the covenant had done a blind space jump and the Pillar of autumn followed them then the ring was found. man your confusing me now.

they WERE leading them away from earth, thats why they made the BLIND JUMP and ended up at Halo

the covenant followed them to HALO, the pilar of autumn crashed---the covenant followed...

and yes this thread is starting to look more like spam than actaul serious questions....

  • 06.24.2004 3:01 PM PDT

no the pillar of autumn did a blind jump and the covenant follewd them even though they were already there then the covenant didnt want to hurt halo and the covenant didnt think it was a weapon they didnt need a weapon the humans did the covenant just wanted artifacts to piece together there religious history.
