Did you know that Covenant means god's promise to humanity to never flood (WATER) the earth ever again in the bible although in halo the game the Covenant release the flood (ALIEN) in atempt to destroy humankind IS THERE A FREAKING!! REASON FOR THIS think about this, do you know the exact reason why the covenant are trying to kill us?

wow i never thought about that, it would also give more evidence into humans being the forerunners, as in for instance, we were wiped out by the flood in the past, good thinking

The covenant r trying to kill us becouse we are evil or something.
From "The Fall of Reach" at first Covenant contact: "Your destruction is the will of the Gods, and we are their instrument."
So in short, it's a religeous war.

As Defined by Booklet given with each game:

The Covenant:
The Covenant forces have spent more than thirty years trying to wipe out humankind. Because their efforts have been so successful, and because few Covenant troops have ever been captured alive, little is definitely known about their origins, society, or motivations, Intercepted communications and battlefield reports indicate a religious underpinning ot their genocidal campaign. What follow are brief descriptions of the alien race known to belong to the Covenant collective, gathered mostly from encounters on the battlefield - talks about the covenant troops.

What it tells us (vaguely) is that the Covenant, are a bunch of aliens, with a bone to pick with the humans. So after we lost contact with a far away planet, a lone ship came back, talking about the covenant. Then we were on full-out war, and then we decided, what the hell...Spartans...cool... And then the covenant caught us by surprise before we boarded the ship to send toward covenant vectors to discover their homeworld, and Master Chief is the last one to survive (apparently all this happens in a precursor game...) So therefore, Master Chief is blah blah blah, taken out of Chryo-Freezing, he fights covenant, kills them, destroys flood, over. And the Covenant didn't release the flood on the humans, They found them, got scared, locked down the whole fort, and then we humans (being as nosy as we are) opened the door, releasing the flood. (although that small room looks like it could have carried like 5 little floodling) So there's the plot, irrefutable proof, if you've got any against what I've said (I know the plot, I'm just putting it all in a nutshell...) In case I left anything out for fragile minds, find me on AIM or at my MSN address, and I'll e-mail you the plot (with my own script, because what the hell, I feel a bit bored, and I'll write what happens and exxagerate, and then add dialogue)
