well i just read the whole thing...thats why its so late...awesome thread. it kicksass. somtin to add...they mentioned in the documentary that there are other Forunner facilities such as ones in the atmospheres of gas giants...and that the covies believe that their gods want the human race destroyed. now say the covies ARE following their gods' orders...perhaps the gods(Forunner) were the covanent's rulers (looked upon as gods by their people) long ago, and that when the Forunner were being wiped out from the flood, the covies were too, but the covanent survived, and the Forunners' last command to the covanent was to assume control of all Forunner facilities by using any means nessesary; however, the Flood wiped out most of the covanent, and destroyed all record of history and the Flood, but the last few covies escaped, and, unknown to them, a Halo ring destroys the entire region of space, erasing all record of what happend. but the few covanent that remained made sure that their primary goal would never be forgotten, and then multiplied once again. Then us pesky humans came along and got in the way, so that pissed the covies off, and there we go. Then, they find Halo, and there are legends of the other Halo ring that blew the Forunner's homeworld, about its destructive power, but nothing of the flood. So the covanent try to use it to their advantage in the war. Then, they invade Earth. They don't glass it because they beleive there is a major Forunner facility on Earth but they dont know where. Which is part of the reason they're pissed at the humans-they believe the humans have control of this facility and are trying to stop the Covanent from having it.
IDK...im ranting just as bad as everyone else here. lol i dont think Halo 2's storyline would be that crapy, im just ranting. Im not very good at making up stories anyway, at least not original ones. i am however, at least halfway decent on feeding off of other things, and providing feedback. but watever. I'll let u people get on to the next post

P.S. The supposed "Halo Killer" known as Kill Switch, shall die in vain from the power of Halo 2 just for being co cky. .....and I don't know why I'm saying that...I'm a co cky baztard...lol

ye but what else are we supposed to do for the next few months with no halo 2 to amuse us? we are just killing the free time we have by speculating what the story might be. Yes they have a story written, but all we know is that the covie are attacking earth, but dont want to destroy it, just mankind. So we are trying to come up with what else is gonna happen, and why they dont wanna destroy earth and just glass the SOB

Ok here is an idea...

The ship in the teaser trailer that the MC jumps out of is obviously NOT the Longsword fighter that he leaves Halo in.

Cortana: "Halo...it's finished..."
MC: "No, I think we're just getting started..."

My idea is that the MC and Cortana go and fight the covanant at other 'Halos' or other Forerunner facilities before arriving at Earth and meeting up with Marine/ODST forces. THAT is when he jumps out of the ship and falls to the covie cruiser!

Well...thats my thoughts of right now, and comments are welcome! :D

Nar how would they make it to other halos' in a longsword??
They would have to go back to earth and warn that an invasion is imanent but only to find that the invasion has already began. Plus supplies and back-up. A new idea but unlikely. They are mostly likely to run into a Human cruiser then retrun home and sound the alarm, but still nobody but bungie knows right so you could be right. Who knows, Who Knows.

Here is the picture
http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halo2/wallpapers/chief_atm os_1024.jpg

Now lok at these two maps, pay most attention to the red sea
http://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_htm/africa.htm

And heres a closer one
http://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_htm/egypt.htm

NOw the red sea has this two little bits at the end in the shape of a V almost, and that can be clearly seen in the chief atmosphere picture. now lok where egypt is in that picture, theres a nuke! haha. somethings happening there, as well as other places with nukes.

Thanks to shifty for suppplying the maps and his knowledge of geography.

Why cant the forerunners still be out there? I mean arn't the setinals forerunner? If not what are they? And if there on one halo they should be on the others and maybe the covies didn't find what they were looking for on earth 'cause i heard there would be some levels on the moon so maybe they beleave that the forerunner artifacts are hiddin there or maybe the flood are hiddin in the center of the moon or something like that?

no the land mass is ver easy to depict. that IS the red sea, those links i gave clearly show it, the big mass of water at the top is the mediterranean, theres a nuke going off in turkey, and on near greece, but seems to be on water, so my guess is on an island of greece, most noteably Crete. hope that helps.

weve implied that already because the covenants religion is ver similar to what egyptians beleived "Thos who transcend the physical wil be welcomed into paradise" thats a qoute from an elite who was mentioning something the prophets said when going into battle. This is very similiar to egyptian religion, who see death as a transformation.

I've been reading this thread for a while, and i've noticed talk about humans being forerunners and that if they were the covenant wouldn't be killing them..... Now this is kind of a wild theory....... what if the covenant dont know that the humans are the forerunners. I mean what race truely knows who or what their own gods are. Just thought i'd chime in with my 2 cents.


That is another theory that I could be wrong on. They may not know that the humans are the Forerunner. But then again, If the humans were really the Forerunner, wouldn't we have better or equal technology to that of the Covenant? There's two sides if the story and i could be wrong and arlo could be right or vice versa. If someone could explain this further let me know.
