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?


I couldn't agree more. I don't know the stories (never read the books) =( but I would've thought it'd be "glassed" by now.

What does "glassed" mean?

THen what about this? OK cortana has an unlimited amount of information on halo. NONe of it was given to the covenant. COnsider the fact that the covenant want that information. OR if you have read the books then you will remember on the fall of reach the part where Master chief finds his first hunter and it is taking something out of A human Museum thats waht they want> that was just an idea. BUT THIS COULD BE IT TOO. THE covenant always suck all the information and technology out of a planet before they ice it perhaps that is what they want. BUt they are looking

The Founder's originaly created Halo. The Halo's destroyed all sentient life. Later in the game you encounter 343 guilty Spark and he make lewd coments on "ineffective weapons" and the possibility of upgrading your armor. You can even quote 343 Guilty Spark. He refers to M.C. as an old friend, and say "You asked me once if I could do it again? The answer is yes. It must be done." Which means someone in the MC's suit astivated the Halo's before. Which means that humanity is the long lost relations to the Founders. They made Halo. They created the Covenant as a slave race. The Covenant worship them. I bet the Covenant met up with the early remenants of the human intersteller empire and saw them for what they are. As descendents of the Founders we are an afrontment to what the Covenant Religiously believes in. We are impure to them. A remenant of something great and perfect. We are not worthy to live to them.
I bet you on Earth there are lost Founder artifacts, like blueprints to make a Halo... I bet you they are looking for that, and doing their next favorite thing: wiping out humanity!
(p.s. I know they are the Forerunners, just like to call them Founders. Kinda weird huh?)

HOW TO GLASS A PLANET BY SPIDEY: (correct me if im wrong) FIRST take many many covenant ships place them around the poles and every where else near the planet not on but still in space. THen its kind of like independence day but on a much larger scale. THEy start plasmaing ( i guess thats what u say) THe planet and booom no life place explodes like on star wars. THE END (hold the applause(even though theres not any))

Petential Book Spoilers

Not to get off your guy's topic but i just want to clear something up. Earth has been conquered by the covenant, if they start glassing a planet it means they've done there job and they are begining to clean up. They do this unmercefully too, even taking there own with them.

If you see the Anouncement Trailer when the chief is plumiting towards Earth, you will notice what lookis like gigantic nuclear weapons detonating. Thats the Covenant launching huge orbs of plasma on the planets surface, they continue to do this untill the planet looks like practicly nothing.

So Earth as we know it is practicly done for, I cant wait to see how the human race pull's off survival if they do.

I always pictured the forerunners as been human in form, i dunno why. but i also figured the mas been ALOT taller. I mean lok at the size of some of the "smaller" rooms on halo, the architecture is a bit nutso. Also do yu think maybe the prophets and the engineers could be descendant of the forerunners and are trying to reclaim thier lost empire by scaveging for lost forerunner artifacts. Also the whole "Making it look like there was a huge battle that happened thousands of years ago" obviously this refers to a war the forerunners had, and i think it may be pretty obvious they lost, since they arent around, or maybe both sides lost? and if so, who where the at war with? the covenant? or maybe an ancient race of humans? this might explain why the covenant see them as a threat to thier religion, as they have the form of the enemys of the gods they beleive in. this is just stuff i all thought of right now on the spot, so some of it probably doesnt make sense, like most things i say :P

First, Covenant will glass a planet without even landing on it, but sometime they will land then glass. But mostly the only time they don't glass right away, or just glass some, is when they want something.

I would like to believe that they want something off of Earth, but with their sense of battle pride, they may have just landed on the planet to kill off every human with their "bare hands".

Oh.. I don't remember the planet (I don't believe it was Sigma Octanous 4, wasn't that MC home planet?) that they went to, and MC meet the hunters for the first time, but the town was Cotez.

Thats true, there destruction "Is the will of the gods" and they "are thier instruments" . But from any other species or planet wiped out that had nothing useful, they just glassed the planet within hours. Now they finally found the home planet, if they wanted to wipe us out, they would totally destroy the planet and send the largest fleet ever to do it. But look at that "cheap" advetrisement that was released (the first ever halo 2 ad) it mentioned "they dont wanna destroy earth, just mankind" now there is a reason why they dont wanna destroy earth, perhaps it holds one of the biggest forerunner secrets ever, perhaps a map to show where the forerunners are hiding (they could still be alive?) or all the secrets of the forerunners which they hid on earth, and perhaps all the lifeo n earth (human and all) was created by the forerunners, maybe the flood was a failed project in trying to create a lifeform. i dunno. im babbling again ha ha. but they are looking for something, the advertisement has it written all over it.

Yeah i know that. i mentioned they wanted to destroy Mankind. But there is more behind thier attack on earth, as the Advertisement hints, and due to the fact the planet hasnt been glassed yet and gruond troops where deployed. halo 2 is considered as a "galactic romp from one place to the next" "you take the player from the ruins of halo to ancient forerunner facilitys orbiting gas giants" meaning it isnt all on earth. this has a few possibilites behind it. The covenant are looking for something on earth as well as trying to destroy mankind, and when they find what they are looking for, and are finished with it, they WILL glass the planet. Now if it starts on earth, then theres two reasons why youd leave earth. Its been destroyed and glassed after the covy found what they needed, or it was saved but the covenant still got what they where looking for, and your after them. or it could start somewhere else, go to earth, then you leave earth again to find out bout the forerunners etc or someting, then the covenant find earth and you go back to earth after finding out about a secret hidden on earth that could turn the war, and its your job to hold back the covenant and fins this secret. there are dozens of possibilities which im too lazy to list but you get the idea.
