Alright this has to be the absolute most comprehensive theory i've ever seen. Congrats guys who came up with it (redleader, coolcow and dualweilderfreak) I definitly think that the covies would've glassed if they wanted us dead. I've got a kindof a back story for the theory. The forerunners were superior beings that wanted to create life, so they created several races but always failed at perfection. then, they created the flood to wipe out the failures, but the flood grew out of control and the forerunners locked them up. then, they created life on the covenant homeworld that split into several sentient races, prophets, elites, jackals, etc. then, they create life here on earth. If you think about it, the chances of 2 4 legged bipedal speicies with optical sensors and mouths on thier heads evolving on 2 diff worlds is slim to none, so we have to be related. they create many other races all over the galaxy, then Millions of years later, they come back and visit each world and they contact the most advanced cultures on each world. they contact the egyptians here, and give them technology to create the pyramids and all the other neat stuff the egyptians came up with, and the egyptians worship them as thier gods. then they go to the more advanced prophet race on planet c and advance them and the prophets worship and copy thier technology. The prophets use this tech to dominate all the other races on thier planet and unify them as the covenant. They learn of the other races in this galaxy and especially of an awesome race on planet earth, but they dont' know where we are. the FR's leave, and then the covies make thier mission to dominate the galaxy and elimitante inferior races. they go from planet to planet destorying and glassing the planets. then when we first encounter the covies, the prophets realize that we are the race that they heard of, and make it thier mission to elimitate us and find something valuable (i don't knwo what) in the pyramids. At the end of Halo 1, we see 343 guilty spark fflying away from Halo. He gets captured by a covie cruiser and is interogatted. He has all of that data from the Autumn, and a grudge against MC for going against the rules. He tells the covies the location of earth and plans to use them to activate another halo. The covies want to find the valuable things in the pyramids, maybe secrets of the forerunners given to earth or somthin, so they land troops. alright that was long and has a lot of stuff from other people's theories, so i understand if it goes unread. But for those of you who did read it, PLEASE add to it and enhance it because the best part about theorys is that tthey build over time. thank you thread starters for some serious brain candy,
nicely said. id like to build on somethign mentioned in the theory, why the covenant want us out. well according to them our destruction is the will of the gods. now look at christianity, notice 1 of the comandments or something is do not worship flase gods or something like that. and all other religions back then when christianity was dominant was blasphemy and wrong and jews etc where murdered. Now maybe its the same for the covenant, they beleive the only gods are thier gods, and since we beleive in some other god or whatever, they see us as worshipping false idols etc
