[Enter extremely funny joke here]

Isn't that a bit odd? They're all fighting for a planet that they've probably never been too until they fought in New Mombasa in Halo 3: ODST. Kinda reminds me of our French Foreign Legion back in the day, where soldiers fought for my country even though they'd never been there.

Heh...Dutch is from Mars. Martian much? =P

But anyway, the point of this thread is: does anyone else (anyone that even cares about the Halo universe anyway and not just the gameplay) think that a lot of the UNSCDF's military forces aren't from Earth, that they're fighting for a planet that they've probably never been to? Sure, they might be motivated for serving the greater cause of humanity, but it's still a little odd to me.

They are fighting for the UNSC, wich is like the UN. All the planets are together. So they are fighting for thier planet, but the Covenant seemed to invade Earth.

Earth's kinda.. The last planet.
Well one of the last in the inner colonies. Everyone's been there.

Well there are a few Outer Colonies left, but their populations are too insignificant to really be accounted for. I would think that the majority of refugees from the Outer Colonies would flood the other Inner Colonies, not Earth.

Well the problem would be, where would he be from on Earth? Maybe to increase the personal aspect from the story, he could be from Kenya were he from Earth?

Besides, if only the forces from earth were fighting, they would run out fast. Right?

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

They are fighting more for Humanity in general than for Earth. It just so happens that the most Humans life on Earth though, so Earth is a logical place to want to keep standing.

Eh, just say they're from Earth then or something. Keep it anonymous, to leave the player speculation as to were Rookie is from.

And anyway, Halo 3 has a small amount of racists...

...

right?

Wait i know what UNSC stands for but what does the DF mean?

Defense Force. The UNSC is not just the military arm of the UEG, but also the exploratory and scientific arm of it too. People just associate it most with the military, so...

I guess it can best be described as Starfleet from Star Trek, except, you know, the UNSC is more bad-ass. =]
