Like reach, it may have some sort of underground forerunner facility. So, the Covenant are probably going to try to capture it, instead of glass it, so I would tend to agree with you.

I think the UNSC will kill the Covies before they destroy Earth. Because it seems very possile that their will be multiple MC's (Spartans) so, hehe. Oh and I want to do four player Co-op, dang that would be sweet.

You're right. The Covenant wont destroy earth because they know that that might ruin the game!

But maybe the Covies have really good writers who could work it in somehow so that they still lose in the end of the game but Mankind is left without its home planet and thousands of years of its history!

There's probably a simple answer to this, but how do the covenant even know it's earth? I mean they've destroyed countless human colonized planets so how do they know that those aren't earth from earth? this would matter to them if they did want earth intact, but since there's no sign of them knowing, I'll assume for know that they want to destroy earth, after all, they're hell-bent on the total annihilation of the human race.

Reach had an under ground facility and in there was something that allowed you to travel through time. thats all im going to say about the book. but i think that earth has some simillar to it. or somthing.

They knew that Reach had something important, that's why they didn't TOTALLY destroy it. So they could know if Earth has anything of value just as easily.

The Covenant won't destroy earth because Master Chief will take them out like nothing.

you're right, the only spartan with the rank of MC is... well... MC, as we know him, or John if you will (John is his real name) but I think we should get to play along side other spartans (even out of co-op), and they could be actuall spartans from the books, like kelly (I don't know If she lives, I haven't finished the books yet. and don't tell me if she does)

I bet the covenant will look for a secret underground armory on earth and instead stumble upon floodie buddies and MC will have to blow up earth or he will just put a floody buddy his back pocket and "surrender" to the covies and release the the flood on their covie asses.

i suggest everyone go read 'First Strike'. Something it mentions is that Cortana finds out that the Covenant already know where Earth is, and no humans ever let them get the coordinates (unless there was that Ackerson fellow...). So one can conclude that the Covies found out the coordinates from some forerunner star charts cuz there is something on Earth that they want (like Reach).

That's true, but really there were many ways they could have found earth. It even says that we expected it to happen, it was always just a matter of time. My guess would be either your option, or maybe the covie AI somehow stripped the info from Cortana...unless they knew before that, I can't remember. There are other ways too, but they're less likely so I won't bother.

And if I were to play with/as another Spartan, I'd choose Linda....she's a total badass.

Your right they wont...but the you will. Just think about it. The flood get to earthm and the only way to stop them or MC thinks is to blow up earth?

Maybe covvies wont destroy the planet because they are looking for doctor hasley or something? Or they want ackerson.!!!!!

Thought for some reason the MC doesnt stay on earth logn according to bungie ;)
