I dunno either but the Covenant Technology is adapted from Forerunner technology its what they do the covenant are adaptive more then inovative. We are inovative more then Adaptive as stated in The Fall of Reach book.

I've been reading all of this and I think it's great. Keep It Up. I would only add that we should focus on why the Covenant is not destroying Earth. Earth holds something special for the Covenant. Something to do with the "The Ninth Age of Reclamation", maybe the Prophets want all humans dead because Earth is their true home planet. Think about the Israelites leaving Egypt and "reclaming" thier land that was promised to them by their God. Think about how the Israelites made war against others claiming it was the will of their God. At the end of First Strike, the Prophet of Truth says "Let the Great Journey begin", meaning that at last they will return to their homeworld. This is probably just crazy it might have something to do with it....How the Covenant were led aways from Earth is whole different theory...this is just too crazy

Read the Epilogue on First Strike, I am not sure what it is, but I know its something important. Something to do with the Covenant "reclaiming" something that they had lost and recovered and it has since been nine ages.

i think the reason the covenent dont want to destroy earth is probably the same reason they didnt destroy reach...there probably is some forerunner tech, like the slip space jumper thing dr.hasley found on reach...but whether or not it is in the pyramids is actually a good question because the video said new mombasa east african protectorite , and egypt is east africa and the pyramids are a big part of egypt...i guess we'll just have to wait till nov. to find out

But they did destroy reach?, thats why the piller of autumn lured the covenant away from earth and onto halo.

hey guys i just thought of a new theory a little closer to [color=red] home [/color] what if our god is really just the forruner and we were created by them, also y there are so many of them is because 1 forerunner is responsible for each type of human (asian, native american, etc, etc) who knows though.. guess will just have to wait for nobvember ninth.. ya know i wonder if were reading into this too much, you know i hope halo 2 isnt as deep as a shallow rain puddle but... these theores r pretty much created by ppl with WAY to much time on there hands.... the ppl at bungie r busy ppl you know.. and y did the forerunner get so scared of the flood, i mean if they really could build all these huge structures and stuf couldnt they just nuke the flood?
and how come the humans dont just napalm the dame flood, i mean frags work pretty well on them just imagin a nuke...

actually they destroyed most of reach except for the underground oni section...read the 3rd book,,,first strike it tells all about post attack of reach and actually about the attack itself

Interesting... This makes lots of sense. Have you ever perhaps wondered if The covenent might not want to destroy Earth because Maybe the Forerunners came from there as well? Think bout this. Forerunners are somewhat worshipped you could say by the Covenent. Covenent "gods" call for the extinxtion of humanity, perhaps the Humans are living on "Holy Ground".
Now I'm not sure I fully wrote that the way I meant... Anywho, Perhaps the Egypt thing is just a place where a turning point will be... Bleh I should not write this late...

That makes sense. Why else would the Covenant land ground forces on Earth instead of wiping out the Human fleet and then glassing the crap out of it?

I have a theory on the ninth age of reclamation and it also links to GS343 comment about "You asked me if I would do it again..."

The Halo story is set in 2552, but nowhere does it say 2552 AD. This may mean that the timeline is not at all related to our timeline, but it is just 2552 years from when they started using dates again. This is were the reclamation comes in... In the matrix trilogy neo is informed that he (the One) has returned to the source X (7?) amounts of time before, and that it was not really the date he thought it was, but seven generations after.
This could be similair in Halo were the reclamation wipes out all but a small number of lifeforms which are then used to rebuild and repopulate the world. this may have happened 8 times before, thus leading to the 9th reclamation.
This apocolypse could be caused by activating the halo facilities (as they kill all lifeforms around lightyears of space). This explains why GS343 says the strange comment about if you would do it again, as obviously some humanoid lifeform activated Halo in the past.

This could aslo account for the date discrepancies between the building of the pyramids and the forerunners dissapperences etc.

In regards to forerunners being human-> it could be close that humans were cloned (featured heavily in the novels) from the forerunners, but without any mystical powers they may have had. This would be another explanation why the Spartans recognise the glyphs. This is because the spartans were picked from all the humans in the universe based on specific genetic data. This data could have been based on the "highest quality" DNA a human could have, and would be close to the original cloned from the forerunners. There has been studies that some traits and memories can be passed down from generation, and the glyphs remind the spartans of some memory deep in their subconcious.

Alot of crazy theories, but we never know (untill the 9th anyway!)

i reckon master chief is gunna whimp out and go back to halo to have a cry. his mother will then come and give him a hug to cheer him up when his courage is rebuilt and he goes and fights some other war, trying to he a solo hero...what a douche.

anyway, he then meets up with Carson from the fab 5 who is like, "Let's go shopping!" and master chief is like, "Yeah, my thong is starting to ride. i need a new one." i also need some new shoes, these ones are all clunky and tired. they then go back to Carson's apartment where some Brutes are waiting. Master Chief then invites them for some..."pleasure", which they quickly oblige to and then the war is over...because of master chiefs tight butt.

part 2: after this little -blam!- encounter the master chief and his "friends" have, they all go out for iced tea and cafe latte's. they start chatting about jewelery and other monotonous conversational subjects when a Brute named "Brown-Rod" (god knows why...maybe because he get's a brown rof from going into places he shouldn't) starts getting jealous and says to master chief, "I don't want you to be with all these other people, raaaarrrrr." Master chief then says to him, "Ok hun, for you."

two days later Brown-Rod and MC go do some shopping for some she-oak furniture when another brute comes up to MC and says, "Thanks for last night chief, you really are the master!" Brown-Rod couldn't believe what he heard....MC was cheating...after 1 day!!! Brown-Rod then got pyscho and started smacking MC around. MC got pissed and pulled out his rifle and said, "I'll f****ing shoot you bastard, you were only a toy" Brown-Rod smacked him in the face and master chief got seriously pissed and blew Brown-Rod's head to kingdom kong.

another brute saw this and was like, "Blood is thicker than water!" more brutes agreed and the circled around MC and he got pissed and heard this chick in his head say "Bet you can't stick it," when he had a plasma grenadge pulled out. MC accepted her challenge..."Your on!" the war starts with him going spaz and blowing the s*** out of the place and then the war begins.

Oh I just remebered Joe mentioned that Zanizibar had something to do with the story line! and Dual can you please get on AIM


Yeah, it's a location off the coast of East Africa, around twenty clicks north of the Covenant's primary point of incursion.

Ya see, the Covenant set foot on Earth, and then glass the planet. /sarcasm

Didn't any of you question why the Covenant set foot on Earth when you watched the 2003 e3 demo? I guess not..
