Ok Barrald, for one, covenant landing ground forces is never unusual. Two all of you who think the coveneant just come in and glass us, that has never happened. They always land forces, beat the hell out of us, then glass or destroy whatever.


Alright maybe i misstated what i was getting at, sorry. i simply meant that the covenant invading a planet full of 6 billion people just for fun adn then blowing us up isn't the best war plan. why lose the troops invading when u could just glass in the first place. they're obviously after somthin.

I may be wrong here but i dont think we are lookin at this in a open minded way. We're stuck on the idea that there is the Forerunners, Humans, Covies and Flood....but there has to be other races in the universe, there cant just be the humans and covies for the Flood to eat. Sooo for all we know there might be another race that already unlocked the secrets of the Forerunners and the Covies are trying to find them and not some Forerunner artifact or weapon

Buuut thats just an idea and i dont think many will agree with me

"does it say if they have another motive for goin to earth?"-inspector71
B&B?(bed and breakfast).


the end of first strike hints it, and the first publish ad also hints this. also an interview with eric nylund, eric mentions that in first strike he was asked to start from the end of halo:the flood and finish off where halo 2 starts. so obviously eric nylund HAS seen most of the script, and so by the end of first strike the covenant must already know where earth is. i dont think there will be anything between first strike and halo 2 that wil be unexplained cos halo 2, will start where first strike finished. or maybe potions will be explained in the instruction manual, then again maybe first strike will be the introductory paragraph of the instruction manual, and summarise some of halo and fall of reach too, i dunno lol

For it to be a bad war plan that is what they ahve done every single time. And they do it to follow their mission. If they just glass us first some humans may survive. But if they land, scour the planet then glass us, I think we are all going to be dead.

hey im jus sayin that's a lot of ground for a army to cover. Imagine if you were commanding a fleet of cruisers and had to decide what to do: search every square foot of a planet, then bombard it, or just bombard it and go home. It's already been established that they're looking for somthing on earth and arent' gonna glass it by that print ad. I think this argument is through.

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,


:0:0:0:0:0

Very well put. You just put basically 19 or 20 pages worth of theories into one and made a lot less of hassle for everyone. Excellent job and it was awesome.

P.S. Congrats RedLeader you got over 20 pages done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry if you havent read the novels, but we stole thier shield technology lol. the suit the chief is wearing was only put on hours before reach was attacked and the start of halo came into play. but before that, for years the spartans wore an old model of the mjonlir armour.

thanks for the suggestion to be a sticky, but there are way better theorys around than this (like the one about halo taking alot of ideas from the bible which was just started recently) and hey, this thread seems to be doing just fine without a sticky on it, dont ya think?
