Subject: So what happened to new york when earth was attacked by the covenant?

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

A whole lot of people died.

5 other colonies were untouched and never found, one of them holding 500 million, the human population was well over 1 billion by the end of the war.
Source, please.

It was mentioned in the First Strike re-release.

In the adjunct about the Fetcher, Tribute and Cygnus are mentioned as still having Human presence on them.

In the final adjunct about the Reporter, Lenapi and Forseti are two colonies mentioned that survived. Forseti was described as having half a billion inhabitants.

The Encyclopaedia mentions Minister as an Inner Colony having never been found by the Covenant either.

According to this only three survived.
Halopedia only lists the colonies mentioned in Halo Canon. It is likely that many more colonies are still untouched after the Human-Covenant War.

If it means anything, I'm writing a short story about ODSTs who are dropped in New York.
Interesting. I'm writing a short story about a civilian evacuation during the Battle of New York.

We should collaborate :D



A spartan engagement would be more interesting to me.
I don't think Spartans need to be involved. I want this story to be grim, to show how desperate and inferior humanity is against the Covenant. A Spartan would give the opposite effect.

I'm still writing it, I'm not going to post it in The Gallery until it's finished. It will be a collection of short stories, gathering views of the Battle of New York from all angles including civilians, soldiers, police officers and government officials to name a few.

The Gallery seems like such a waste for Halo Fan Fic! Is there anywhere online where it gets some good attention?

Deviant Art, but even then it wouldn't attract too many people.

Wasn't it mentioned in those comics that UNSC Mars was lost when they captured Ackerson?

Nothing, the Covenant only landed/invaded in New Mombasa Africa and a orbital elevator tower near South America I believe.


Nope. THe landed all around the world, they just had most of their guys at the portal for obvious reasons.

You can even see in crows nest that there is a map with markers that are likely covenant cruisers...all around the world.

OH MY GOD, I JUST REALIZED WHY IT'S CALLED COWS NEST!!!

Agreed. I don't want any Spartans in the story. Anyhow, Megamuffin, how should we go about doing this?

What a waste....

When you float with the bomb in H2, you can see North America having buttsecks with glassing beams.

Hmm. Good question. I suppose we could always collaborate over PMs, but that would be far too slow.

I'm also a "somewhat" good drawer. I plan to draw some "concept art" for it.

While reading The Fall of Reach for the dozenth or so time, I noticed Capt. Keyes saying that the Covenant bypassed other colonies on their way to Reach. It's always possible that other colonies survived but Had no way of establishing contact with remaining Inner Colonies.

I think the North American Continent only really got hit in Cleveland and Cuba. In Europe I think Switzerland got hit, and somewhere in Australia. New York was never hit to my knowledge, and if it was, I think it would have been mentioned, seeing as the city itself covered most of the Northern East Coast at this point in time. Chicago covered like 4 states in the US lol

Well during the initial stages when the Covenant only attacked Mombasa NY wouldn't have been attacked. But during Halo 3 campaign time as a large city it would have been attacked no doubt.

I think when Truth returned to Earth with the Keyship and the Brutes, he would have dispatched Covenant ships to Earth's major cities, either to glass them or turn them into police states. On the Halo 3 mission Crow's Nest, you can see a map of Earth in the control center with dots over Earth's major cities, with a cluster over Mombasa. I always thought those were cities Truth has destroyed or was in control of.

Some of those cities were New York, Sydney, Havana, Chicago, Mexico City, Beijing, London, New Mombasa, and Berlin. Their were more I think.

well over 1 billion...
you do realize that we are at 6 billion right now on our single little planet right?
1 billion is dropping humanity back easily 600 years in terms of population
