EnlightendSniper, before you claim I major in chemistry you should know that I am a sophomore (in High School). I just like science.

If the atmosphere is like 100% methane, the grunts would have no problems breathing. Also its apparently an ice-world, likely because fire cant exist (no oxygen at all). So it wont explode because oxygen isnt there to burn. It's like trying to light a fire under water, unless you have some sort of chemical catalyst, it wont work. So firing weaponry wouldnt set it off.

Cheers,

The only real question is will the guns fire on the Grunt homeworld? Guns also require oxygen to fire. I imagine most guns a Spartan uses would work, since Spartans may be called in to fight in a vaccum as well as in an atmosphere.

well, if I were the UNSC, and I found a covie planet (grunts) with methane gas, I'd just use my UNSC Cruisers and Battleships to just shoot the place up. (I'm not sure if that would work, with their being no o2 and all, but the missiles could have o2 in them. That would make a big explosion I would think)

Maybe if they did have a level there they could make the screen slightly blurry and/or wavy for the gas effect.
I know!!! They can get huge oxygen tanks and unload them on the planet's surface, then drop a bomb on it and fly very very fast in the other direction... :D

I have a better reason why we won't go to the Grunt Homeworld, or any of the homeworlds for that matter.

Okay then we are talking a planet deep within Covenant space, not only that it is the origin of the most predominant Covenant infantry species. Because of this the planet is bound to have some major significance to the Covenant, and therefore the defenses around it will make those of Reach look like a bunch of kids with bb guns. There would just be too damn many ships in order for the UNSC to get through and launch an effective assault.

Our Fleet numbers are down as is and we've lost all but 5 space battles. We couldn't possibly launch a full on attack on any of the Covenant homeworld even if we tried. If we did, then the UNSC would be defeated and soon the human race would fall into extinction.

I know Bungie said that we will bring the fight to the Covenant and all, but listen. Operation: First Strike was the first time we actually brought the fight to the Covenant in 27 years of war. Even then it was by pure luck that the Chief and company found the Unyielding Heirophant. Pretty much any attempt at taking on a Covenant homeworld is suicide at best and impracticle for the UNSC at this time.

Hedwig, that was a nice point. Our human weapons wouldn't work.

Thank you. The only weapon that would definitely work would be the rocktet launcher, since rockets carry their own oxygen to fly. But the explosion at the end probably would not happen. Also the Gauss cannon would work since it involves only magnets.

A rocket laucher that doesn't explode wouldn't be a very useful weapon!

it is possible though right? I mean, when it impacts, if heat was created near any o2 inside the rocket (I don't know), It could explode. BTW, would the idea of the UNSC just shooting with their cannons and what not cause any damage at all. I'm sure they could have o2 in the missile, so when it hits the ground, it would explode. (it would cause atleast some damage right, I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just asking questions.)

Are we giong to the covenant homeworld? Yes. You guys, man, fricking go watch the documentary, he said something like this, "You'll be taken accross old forerunner facilities and also the covenant homeworld." I'M SURE, they won't put advanced chemistry in it, I'm also sure, that if you have methane, and no oxygen, it will still blow up. I'm ALSO sure, that you guys are thinking too hard about this, It isn't real life, all they will do, is have you go to the planet, and they'll come up with some lame-ass excuse for it not to blow up. Trust me, they aren't giong to make you think hard in order to understand how you are on the planet.

Yes, there would be an explosion, just not an enormous one like in our atmosphere. Explosions can also occur in outer space, they're just breif since there is no oxygen to fuel the fire.

And yes, i also agree with chaplain. It's a video game, i don't think they'll think too much about realism. I mean, we already have a super human cyborg annihilating an entire alien army almost by himself, how realistic is that? The way they do slipspace travel is also impossible in real life, but they still do it. I think that exlosions will occur no matter what since it's a video game, and it just wouldn't be a cool game if stuff didn't always blow up. That's the way game creators think, so reality doesn't matter.

I just did watch the freaking documentary and it made no mention of the Covenant homeworld in there. So I don't know what you are smoking, but you are wrong there.

I think at the end of Halo 2 You'll be figthing with the covenent leader, you'll be hanging off a ledge inside a spaceship with one hand on the ledge, the other on a sword, the covenent leader will say, "Chief, I am your 2nd cousin removed!" then The marines will fire a laser from their Death Ball and destry Covenent homeplanet :)

Okay, why don't you buy some PURE methane, find some way to light a match inside it with out letting any oxygen in, and prove the laws of the universe wrong. When you finish doing that you can share your results with us here.

im not reading everyones post, but, maybe its just a cutscene, where grunts are roaming around on their homeworld, and it does get blown up..........somehow.

Or in the halo books, they do mention gas chambers, the grunts refill their tanks, and use them like sleeping quarters.

maybe, 500 years from now, guns won't use oxygen to fire, kinda like the ones that fires in vacuums, like space.
