They are in pursuit of the Holy One known as Senor El Roboto to repair their flagship the Divine Fart or something like that

Glassed = read the books

Basically, it's the process of eliminating everything on a planet. This includes all life, boiling over oceans, not missing a single spot, etc.

the humans shouldnt have better defenses becvasue they would not expect an attack from the covanent on earth they thought they had keept it a secret, they arent ready for the covenant because they arent explecting it.

Aw come on, the books aren't that bad. They could be better, but I've read worse. The artavie ness of the books is the story behind Halo. I've enjoyed Bungie games (particularly Marathon) because they take the time to write a story. Books=losers? And I put forth that Doom 2=Must Use Cheats To Win but I'm going to stop there and you should to (all of you).

Earth must have some sort of significant Forerunner instillation on it to make it so important to the Convent higher-ups. The Human slaughter is just for fun. The Resources Reason for keeping Earth around is out. If they need resources they wouldn't have glassed (burn the surface with high powered plasma canons) every human colony they came across on their way to Earth. The Cortana Reason should also be removed. The only person who knew she has the Halo info was the Monitor 343 Guilty Spark (KILL THE FLOATING BOX!). Not even the MC knows what she's carrying (even she doesn't know what the exact nature of the info)

Forerunner instillation with out a doubt.

What happened to that Box anyways. The end video (on the Mac) shows if flying away form the destroyed ring of Halo,

Basically they don't do that because it would make a pretty crappy game.

Imagine if you will...

HALO 2 (familiar chanting heard at title screen)

*Press Start*

*BOOM!*

*Credits.*

Fun stuff... ^_-

because of the orbital mac guns surrounding earth, their cruisers cant get close enough, thats why they send the smaller ships in to fight a ground war

Because Halo2's supposed to be a game. A game is supposed to be interactive, not just an explosion followed by the text: concragulations for beating the game on legendary...and then an ending movie with a slightly bigger explosion than before.

As someone mentioned earlier read the books

The covenant need something we hold on Earth -
so they will not glass all of it (that's what I guess is the reason that cruiser landed on earth city, they want something and the CHief is gonna stop them from getting it)

Secondly
The covenant ships are capable of slip stream jumps very close to a strong graviational field (Like a Planet) but the covenant A.I and the covenant are not smart enough to execute very precise jumps so close to a graviational field. (Cortana on the other hand achieved that)
In other words, if Humans and Human AI were in control of a covenant fleet, they would be more lethal.

Hence, the covenant cannot jump inside our SUPER MAC guns...so they will EAT the Salvos from those SUPER MAC's first :)

Im thinking maybe theres something they need on earth but humans are in the way( and sense there religion is to kill humans why not kill humans and get the thing they want from earth at the same time hmmmm?) and all this talk about there carrys cant get close enough why not just put something like a hunge mine in the ocean leave the planet and blow it up.
If they can put a huge cannon(in the e3 vedio) on earth why not a big mined.(so im guessing that there is something on earth or humans have took something that is theres)


ps:agian im not good in grammar
