"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

I was reading Fall of Reach, and the whole reason that the covanant want to attack people is because its their "gods will". So I was thinking that A high priority of the MCs mission is gonna be to capture a prophet or kill them all. Will you kill a prophet if you come face to face with one?

It depends how useful or powerful the Prophet is. It would be relatively pointless to kill a Prophet though since they are very smart, useful, and powerful. Killing one could result in the Covenant war to become worse. And the Prophets are also quite weak physically, so they would almost be too easy to kill.

I know, but don't you think capturing one is kind of out of the question. They probably have like 5 brutes around them too. It would be hard to get one to come with you by force.

with all the enemy's probably guarding it with their lives I think it would be kinda hard not to kill it with stray bullets anyway so yeah I would kill it.

the prophet are hard to kill because they got sheilds like master cheif
the prophets i think are controling the elite and grunts at least telling them what to do

The covenant prophets live on their homeworld which is protected by a fleet of hundreds of covenant warships. Quote from the book: The covenant homeworld was so heavily defended, the warships would vaporize if you hesitated to respond to them on a moments notice.
They are also protected by the Imperial Elite Guard (Special Black Ops Elites) So its impossible to capture a prophet alive.

Worse? have you been keeping up with things? Things ARE *WROSE!* They seek to make the human race extinct, we are beaten back to Terra. There is no *worse.*

in first strike, there were 10,000 brutes guarding a prophet, and it is rare to even have abrute or elite within 100 feet of them, read first strike, prophet are godlike protected

Why is it that no one can correctly spell COVENANT it's not covanant and it's certainly not covenent.

Nope we WILL see the prophets in Halo 2 why would they show a prophet too us before the release and not actually have them in the game? One of the big parts in Halo 2 is seeing the covenant hierarchy in action.
