I'll have you know
that I've become
Indestructible!

Seeing how there are, like, what, 144 pages, I don't have time to see if this is a repeated topic, so here it goes:

I predict that in Halo 2, another halo will be used instead of destroyed.

Halo was destroyed so that all/most life can be saved, a parallel to Christ (I can back most of this up with quotes and the like). The Covenant gave the idea that the first halo would be used to destroy all life in about a 25,000 lightyear radius. It didn't. It COULD, but it didn't. At first, during Jesus' ministry, many people thought that He would destroy all of the wicked and the enemies of Israel/Jews. He didn't, atleast not yet. ("Those Covenant fools! They must have known! There must have been signs!")

He first came to save us through His death AND ressurection. So I predict that there will be a new halo, and it will be used to wipe out a good portion of life. Those who survive? That's a little beyond me. The Bible says that if we repent from our sins and trust Jesus, then we will be spared in His second coming. Who this might pretain to in a "made by hands" video game of violent shooting, I cannot say. But I could guess that maybe a substantial amout of Covenant and Humans.

Personally, I find the religious parallels to be annoying. It's a cheap and easy way to bring significance out of the superfluous.

Ah geeze, looks like you caught Bungie it the act, but maybe Bungie isn't trying to ressurect jesus through a game? Nope... They're not... Nice try, but no cigar.

No religious content on Bungie. Thats a rule. Also....what does that have to do with Halo? You didnt even state a question. Yes obvioulsy a Halo ring will be used. Probably out of range of earth and closer to covenant homes.
