The covenant are looking for something on earth obviously. Perhaps its the arc of the covenant or maybe something that the other species of alien left behind. THe ones who created halo. ANOTHER question is should mars fit into the game. YOU would figure that we had colinized it right. What do u think answers here.

OK this would be EZer if you just watched or even read a few reviews on the game. The Covies want nothing more but to wipe out the entire human race. They call it a Religious War I beleive. I could be wrong but who cares. This idea of some artifact....where did it come from???

It was just an idea man some of u guys go crazy. WELL what about this if the next book they make has the fall of Mars. That sounds good right i mean we should have colinized mars by 500 years. Really all we have to do is place a few genetically engineered plantes that are cabable of little water and high windspeeds. They would add oxygen to the atmosphere. ANy way, MARS should have been a big battle for the covy. Does anyone agree?

You're joking right? If not go read the books or look for some more info online. Planets like Reach and on other (I forget the name) have important Forrunner artifacts. It is heavily suggested that Earth has something very very important on it. If a planet doesn't the Covies just glass it (starship bombardment), there is no ground invasion.

I'm pretty sure the covenant arn't looking for anything on Earth, the only thing the covenant want is the destruction of the human race. Although, I do get what you are saying about the whole not just glassing the planet, because then they wouldn't have deployed the ground troups and stuff. OR it could be that they are glassing some of the planet, just not all of it like they did on Reach.

i agree with alerus some of u guys think u are hardcore halo players if u know anything about the covenant is that they glass what they dont want and pillage what they do. Read the books they wanted some sort of gravity device on Reach. Which makes me wonder WHERE DID THE DOC TAKE KELLY will we see her later i hope. anyway read teh books they explain mucho alato. THEY WANT SOMETHING

Obviously you know nothing about the story of Halo. Well maybe not nothing, but you don't know about the war is actually going. The Covenant have been glassings planets and other colonies, nearly a thousand of them actually. THey've been going system by system on a genocidal campaign and we've only beat them in space on 5 seperate occasions out of hundreds of losses. They want to glass the planet, that much is evident, it just takes a long ass time. Glassing a planet is not some quick little deal done in a matter of seconds. Depending on how many Covenant ships you have in orbit it may take a single day or it may take two weeks. Needless to say glassing a planet is a big task and the Covenant are coming to do it. They just need time.

There was a news article on Bungie here a while back that talked about the three multiplayer maps.

Waterworks was described as being based on the Forerunner installation buried deep with in the Earth. It's possible, if this is true, that that's the reason why New Mombasa is being invaded instead of being glassed.

Whatever is there in that installation- That must be the thing that the Covenant want.

You can't say he's completely wrong though. The Covenant wouldn't send troops down to the planet if they didn't want anything there.
If they had no use for the planet they would emediatly glass it, like they did with the outer colonies. True, this would take a while, but at least they would get started right away. Now they want a ground battle like on Reach so they won't destroy the artefact/tech by glassing everything.

The Covenant are realy on a Scavenging Campaign. They want as many Forerunner tech they can get their claws on and the human race is in the way. Who is to say that the other alien civilizitions they glassed weren't an insult to the gods?

I agree though that theres more to the connection of the humans and Forerunner.

Spoiler!!!!


They probably think that the marines brought the crystal to earth. The one that screws with time. One of the marines smashed it so it's not on earth but they don't know that. Oh and the whole transend the phisical thing probably refers to the crystal.

The crystal gives us a way that the humans could be the forunner. And that the MC could have been on halo more than once. This explains GS.......(What's the number again?) references to the MC as recaimer.
