Hey im new to the forums,
I've been reading most of the theories out there and the one thats really dominant in all of them is the theory of the pyramids in africa leading to the discovery of other halos and ringworlds. This theory is smart and well thought of, but the halos were designed as a failsafe to destroy the flood by wiping out the all other sentient life in the galaxy. If the covenant are still after halo then wouldn't it destroy them, along with humans when it is activated. So i dont think it would work unless i missed something and if so, fill me in. And i think the theory of the connection between the egyptians and forerunners is a really good one, I'd also like to say that a lot of theories out there are very indepth and very thoughtful but u have to consider that the story is gonna pick up where halo left off so i dont think its gonna cover the backstory that happened leading up to halo. The story is probably gonna be simple, smart and full of surprises. the only problem is we have no idea wuts gonna happen. All i kno for sure is that there is gonna be a planet that has been scared by war and its probably where the 2nd part of halo 2 is gonna take place.
Fill me in on what i missed and if i was wrong in anything i said
Thanks

Do more research man. Trust me, you haven't even scratched the surface. Also, read the books.

thanks, but i dont think they books will contribute that much to the story of halo 2, because i dont think they bungie team would have any story in the books take place in halo 2, they probably will be some parts that are connected and the story in the game is usually seperate from the books and can stand on its own even though the history and background of the world is barely scratched. Thats i think maybe small parts of the books will be used but can u tell me why the covenant are after the rings if it will just destroy all life in the galaxy?

thanks again

I don't think the Covenant know what the Halos do. They just want them because they were made by their gods. As proof if they knew what Halo was used for they would not have released the Flood would they.

thanks for the reply, BUT in HALO the covenant sealed the flood in the underground structuces and it was the that black sergant, i dunt remember his name but his platoon broke into the sealed room and released the flood not the covenant.

The covenant discovered the flood first but sealed them away and ran away. They were trying to stop the flood from leaving the ring structure
