Steal Covenant Ships when the Covenant are retreating they hope into the ships kill the Covenant and take it over. And maybe They take a Prophet hostage they are their leaders so they wouldn't really want to kill them maybe they take alot of Prophets hostage and go near the Covenant planet. Or maybe they take the Covenant ships and build tons of Humans Ships and they get near the Covenant Homeworld and act like they are running from the Humans and getting attacked bad and they enter the planet and destory. Think about the humans and their history about the Romans and the huge ass wooden horse. We did it once we could do it again but not with a Wooden horse. And I know they in order to enter a the Covenant Homeworld u need to enter some codes in a amount of time. But maybe u take about 50 Prophets and threaten to enter the codes or they will destory the Forerunner Artifacts on the Ship and maybe even kill all the Prophets on aboard. But the Prophets care for the Forerunner Artifacts so much so many it will work!!!!!

didn't read all of that, but I read the first things. Why would the covies retreat if they are kicking our asses?

Even though it sounds a lot like the books its crazy enough to work. The only thing you have to do is find people daring enough to do it.

seriously, and that just about is the damn plan they had...


fool...


plus a prophet wouldnt just tell u anything, also they have a plan to steal the prophet (thats why they need to get to the homeworld) so if they get a prophet off the ship then they wouldnt need to go to the homeworld...unless they had one of those supernpovas...

Everyone wants to get on a covenant cruiser, kill everyone inside or capture them, and try to get through the covies defences. Why not try this approach:
Get on covie cruiser that is heading for the homeworld and hide 'til you get there

It won't happen. It can't. Covenant access codes around the homeworlds and the High Charity are changed on the hour and anyone that fails to respond quickly is destroyed. If a rock any bigger than a entimeter enters the space around there, it is scanned, targeted,a nd pulverized.

Making a foolish attempt at the any of Covenant homeworlds like that is suicide for the human species at best.

We turn the war around and start owning the Covenant Bastards and they retreat to get more man and stuff. And we can also get the ODSTs they are crazy enough to jump off planes and be the first ones in and stuff so its just Spartans and ODST coz they all have helmets they are like gas mask.

I think the covies are a little smarter than that.

1) I doubt we could ever make them retreat by ourselves.

2) Do you really think we'd ever be able to take over a bunch of covie ships?

3) It'd be near impossible to capture a prophet. The covies would die defending them and would never retreat if they knew their leaders were at stake.

3) Read the books? The covies have a near impenetrable defense around their planet. Incoming ships have to have a series of code words to get in, if they don't respond instantly they get shot down. Ships are searched, and any ship that is suspected gets blasted without a second thought.

However we defeat them (if we do) we won't do it by sneaking into their homeworld or kidnapping their leaders.

Firstly It was the Greeks and Trojans with the wooden horse, and I have a strange feeling that its a myth! (imagine the size of that bloody horse to fit a whole army in it! and how stupid where the trojans to think it was a real gift??)
Also if we actually took over a ship I think the Covenant would have some radio contact between the time we leave Earth and by the time we reach their homeworld, so what do we do then... Just not answer??
And I think the Covenant are zealous enough to sacrifice themselves to stop the humans getting to their homeworld!

Well maybe the Humans hide in the ships returning to the planet. Or they hijack a Covenant ship that is full of important Forerunner Artifacts and the Prophets are telling the Elites or whoever is in charge not to blow it up and the ship lands and the Covenant storm the Ship and the Humans are no where to be found and they are hiding in the sewers.

Dam Covenants they are smart crazy ass bastards whats next they are going to run after u with bombs on their chest!! And we do have EMPs but that will destory everything we could like go near the Covenant homeworld and launch a EMP they wipes out these guns and all the other Humans ships go and attack. Or Master Cheif hides in a Covenant Ship and sneaks in the Covenant control guns tower and destory it so the Guns don't work. Unless it is like Space stations near the planet on space.

To get close enough to launch an EMP we'd probably have to get into the range of the guns anyway. So onto plan F, which is sneaking in MC. Which is a bad plan, as I doubt all the guns defending the Covenant homeworld is controlled in one place. so come up with a plan G my friend

Why NOT use an actual wooden horse?!? We'd at least have the element of surprise on our side...

But no, seriously, similar ideas (of hijacking a Covie vessel) have been discussed here before... and I really doubt they'd work.

Let Cortana handle it. She just needs a bit more time to analyze the stealth modulator data she's picked up from the Covenant database aboard the Ascendent Justice and retool a captured Covenant ship for a stealth operation.

Imagine, an entire ship going stealth... wonderous.

We should just find another halo ring that's in range of the covie's homeworld, but out of range os ours and activate it. Sucks for whoever turns it on, but at least we'd have won the war.

You don't know how the whole Halo thing works do you finalwaltz?

Once one ring is activated, they all go up. Installation Zero-Four had a blast radius of 25,000 light years. That covers a pretty damn big area, possibly even ours in the process. Setting off any one of the Halo would be suicide, as it would activate the others, like I said earlier, and we'd all die.

End of story.

*grins*....but when the others follow suit, the galaxy will be quite devoid of life.

That's dangerous. It could chain react and destroy the other human colonies. Perhaps even Earth if it lies within another Halo's radius. There are regions of space that are overlapped by multiple halos.

You'd effectively be playing a lottery with the fate of humanity.

Dang, same thing at the same time as Hikaru *lol*

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

Just for the sake of argument, if you built a grid of devices that could wipe out all life in the universe, wouldn't you want to include some sort of safety catch so if one was accidentally set off or by hostile take-over...they all wouldn't go off? Of course, that would be quite similar to the way we rigged our nuclear missles during the cold war...and sparked so many fears about automated anhialation.

Are you sure you are asking the right person? Personnally I'd set those things off every 2000 years just for -blam!-s and jiggles. Having a safety net is a risk that the Forerunner can not take with a threat as large as the Flood. So having them go off like they do is a good thing. I mean, sure a few hundred thousand species die out in the process, but hey -blam!- happens.

However in Halo 2 I am praying that the Halos are not set off, because I am not safe being a human, Forerunner and Flood are, I am not. So setting off is not good.
