First off, if this has been posted already, then sorry, I have not been on for over a month, my modem was dead.

Anyway, I was wondering if the wording of the current add has been analyzed yet. How the Add says "They don't want to destroy our planet, just mankind". Could this be a hint or clue that they will not glass the planet like on Reach, because there may be something of great importance on it? Maybe Forerunner technology? Or is it because the "gods" of the covenant wills the human extinction? I mean, sure, they did ground attacks on mostly every other human colony, but why still risk it, shouldn't they just Glass and get it over with? Any way, just some of my thoughts.... please share.

or the prophets just wanna find something hidden or the moniter is behind the covenant and wants something the humans have.and the battle on halo was all a setup to confuse master cheif.

*Spoiler*

They didn't glass a section of Reach because there was an artifact they wanted... so that means
A) something BIG is on the earth that they want, some major artifact.
B) There is an artifact that they want, its on earth, but not sure exactly where.
C) Kinda going off on a tangent, but how they repressed the Flood to a small location where they could be dealt with, we, humans, are spreading throughout the universe. Maybe some forerunner or something was deposited on Earth long ago, but it (us) have evolved and gotten off, so now they have to put us back in our place before we infest the known universe.

The covenant probably don't know that chief doesnt have the artifact anymore.

:D

hm... this may be the most retarded idea yet, but here goes.

What if Earth was actually the "Ultimate Halo"? I mean, maybe the Forerunner created Earth to contain and study humans. After some sort of cataclysm however, the forerunner left Earth, leaving some artifacts behind. Now that the Covenant know about us, they want to destroy us as we're "impure". Also, they're probably jealous of our larger genitals and superior linguistic skills.

Right. Only the biggest screw up in game advertising since John Romero's Daikatana.

No, there's no way that was a misprint.

i think they want to do a ground assualt because the elites like to fight up close and not sit on a star ship and take pot shots

LOL

Actually Mei Ass, that's not a bad theory, genitals and all. It's pretty much confirmed that forerunner technology is present on H2, so why can't it be on Earth... or even Earth...?

LOL!

Back to topic:
They won't glass Earth because they know it is our primary planet, and they want to prove to us that they can best us in all fields of combat. That's what I would do if I was as arrogant as those Elite ass-wipes.
Now there could also be the theory of Forerunner tech, or some importance of Earth for some unknown theory, but I dont think Halo 2's employee's would think that freakin deep into the game as Eric Nylund has done with the books. For Nylund it's easier to go more in-depth because it's a book. For a game though, Jason said it himself in the Documentary, telling the story really just revolves around sitting down and playing the game. That is why the multiplayer is going to be nucking futs! Don't get me wrong, I'm PUMPED AS HELL for the SP, but the MP is where it's all gonna break down and get funky!

Anyway, that was my rant. Hope you enjoyed.

They can't glass all of earth, they'd miss all those TV and radio shows we sent out into space. LOL


Of course they can't glass earth, for one, that would not make Halo 2 very fun, and second, there are Forerunner Artifacts in our little corner of the galaxy.
