hey, I did read what you said about dino extinction and all of that before I made my post...I just said that because it would tie in with the Halo story, so people who think we're weird would know, for the hundred millionth time, that we aren't trying to tie this into actual reality. but seriously, that 25,000 year thing might have a huge impact on the story. Think about it...Master Cheif activates a Halo to destroy the Covenant, but the Covenant have more than enough time to esacpe and flee to some other part of the galaxy. I dunno, but a superweapon that takes 25,000 years to fully exterminate everything doesn't sound too effective to me...a species can easily develop the technology to make it off their planet and into some far-off corner of the galaxy in that time. That's assuming, however, that the weapon doesn't travel through slipspace or use some other form of forerunner technology that we don't know of yet (c'mon, Bungie...) to travel quicker.
I need to start a new thread on this
