I agree with NightAvenger. The covie would just glass the planet normally. In the case of Cote' De A'zur (sp?) they inhabited the planet, found what they were looking for then glassed the planet. On reach, they glassed the whole planet but that mountain. And on earth, it looked from the demo as if earth was being glassed. Logically, the covenant would glass the areas they didn’t need, and not glass the areas they needed, then would head down and invade.

Plus they hold the artifacts they find in such a high reverence that one hunter pair shot at the crystal that Hasley was holding and the hunters were shot at by the whole battalion in the cavern. So on earth, I figure that MC will put that to an advantage and he’ll probably acquire another artifact, use its power and generally piss off the covenant.

I still think that when you find all of the artifacts on the certain planets they will be able to do something even betteer and I also think that the covie's already found one on their planet as well as a forewrunner temple or something

Aha, but we do Avenger my friend! Thanks to Cortana, we have a damn good chance! She knows they the Plasma torpedo's home in on ships, and knows ALOT about Covenant technology. Hopefully, Humans can take that technology and make better weapons.

As far as the Orbital MAC's are concerned...THERE BETTER BE LIKE 50 ORBITAL MACS! Reach only had 20, and it was destroyed fairly easily...

BUT THIS IS EARTH! Billions and billions of people still living on Earth! We better have ALOT more Orbital MAC's to protect Earth, because 20 WILL NOT cut it!

Sadly we already know that Earth's space fight fails, so we could have 100 Orbital MACs and they still lose. Although I do hope they show the fight, I've always wanted to see em work. All that metal, flying through a covie ship *drools*.

Is it possible that both humans and covenant are descendants of the forerunners? Someone mentioned earlier the theory similiar to the movie "Mission to Mars"... What if the forerunners seeded many different planets all over the galaxy and it just so happens that the covenant are just evolved humans? This theory sorta explains MC's familiarity with both Covenant and Forerunner technology.

There is that way ^^ of looking at it, and possibly its right. Another possible explanation for him knowing the Forerunner technology and Covenant interfaces is that he knows the Forerunner technology from being a distant descendant and he is familiar with the covenant interfaces merely because the Covenant adopted the Forerunner interface and technology. We know for a fact that the Covies do adapt technology. In the book one of the Elites is reviewing the problem of MC killing covenant troops. And that Elite states that MC's armor is even more advanced as their own, and the other Elite says he should be careful for the Prophets might punish him for saying that the Forerunner suits that the Elite is now wearing is inferior to the MJOLNIR armor.
