Subject: Earth had NOT been taken over.

the thing in the video isnt the thing humans found in the messages from the universe booklet. that booklet said they uncovered a massive crystal like structure under the ground on Coral. The trailer is on Earth plus the thing on Earth didnt look too much like a crystal.

Oh and if your all still arguing over the conquered thing, read the freaking update!!

Everyone thinks earth has been taken over

Am I the only one that thinks' those ships' were controled by Elite's? Think about the arbter Said he was going to the arc Well if the humans ARE the forunners That dome could be the arc so he took the Elite fleet to earth?

Also like he said Woulden't those ships (And banshees' attack John)? Not if the were earth's allies HUH!



first only the elites on the halo ring know but the elites at earth don't.

second why would they spend time on the mc when they found the ark.

and third.......omg im turning into a nerd........

well that is the covenant and they activated the ark i dsont think the prohet cares about one demon compared to becoming a god and if personly wouldnt care cuz its not like he has a portaable nuke launcher so he cant take doewn all the covie flagships in the backround aslo the ark activates all the halo rings why would you want to activate it thast suicide...


most of the covenant do not seem to realize what the halo rings do.and if they were trying to gon on the "geat journey" why would they turn and run when it begins to activate.


they dont turn and run for starters they are pushed back by the massive air movement and ground shaking caused by the artifact opening and secondly do you not see the giant blast thats about to happen/


once again ignorance overtakes reason.

if you watch carefully, they ARE pushed slightly bye the shockwave, but the shockwave is NOT what carries them off. if you look, their engines ignite and they attempt to get the hell away. even the ship in the corner of the screen begins to turn and run. they are CLEARLY running away, which suggests that these are either :
a) Friendly Covies
or
b) that this structure is not believed to be the ark. they began running before any signs of an eminent explosion.

It sounds like a good game, the Covenant control Earth. So what! Bungie probably hasn't told us about some secret fleet of human ships or something. Plus look on the bright side of things, you can enjoy every minute of liberating Earth from the Covenant.

few things, check the other posts, but there are more spartans, what happened to the forerunner ship that MC was on, how did he get off, again with the three red acknoledgement lights in his helmet as the banshees approach signify other spartans, and earth CANNOT BE COMPLETELY CONTROLLED...there was one third of the attack force that actually attacked earth...regret jumped the gun so that was only one third of the overwhelming force, the covenant have no need for the rest of earth so they would focus on New Mombasa. Granted the earth is technically taken over as most of the defense forces would be in new mombasa or space...or dead, and there is still 2 thirds of the attack pending...but there are still allot of unknowns. Also, the chief isn freaking out...he knows whats going on...THAT LOOKS LIKE THE LIBRARY he thinks...which means...oops, the covies may have let out mroe flood which could have been contained in earth. This all concludes that Earth is not taken over...at the beginning of H3, as Lord Hood is still fighting, which means that the trailor might be near the end of the game...or just not worked into the game.

Make the human marriens more bad ass, I mean make them more effective, after all even though they are getting there ass kicked by covies they are fighting many alien races merged into one and surived this long, that has got to count for something. Show us the humens are not going to go out with out one HELL of a fight.

also Ive made this sudjestion before, but a good and bad campagin, on the good one you play as chief and arbitor and on the bad one.. hell I dont know but I would like to fight some humens and that may be the only way we will get to see the other spartens after all bungie seemd to avoid puting them into part 1 or 2.

The Frozen Minority - The most infamous clan borne from the Seventh Column.

It is the Chief, back on a devastated and Covenant controlled Earth, standing over the excavation of a structure buried in the crust of our own planet that is the meat of our demo. -CJ Cowan

So the Earth has been conquered but the reason why they arent attacking seems obvious to me. For millenia they have searched for the Ark, the beggining of the Great Journey. They exist for this sole purpose, I doubt they would bother missing a second of it to fight with a lone soldier no matter what his impact.

MC has hindered a fraction of a percent of their forces and is worthy of acknowledgement but he is not worth it when they are ushered into the Great Journey and the divine beyond.

Yes, there's a giant human fleet not mentioned anywhere in the books or in the game, and they're just waiting on the horizon to slaughter every one of the Covenant at once. Because That would make sense.
"Hey guys, let's wait here for a while so that the Covenant ravage the Earth and glass over parts of it, killing billions of people so that when we come back, we can beat them all with our 1337 MAC guns that take 2 shots to kill a ship, while their homing plasma rips our ships apart in a single hit!"
Brilliance at it's finest.

Formerly known as HunTERminator

Direct quote from Bungie:

The Cortana reveal is the first evidence that this trailer might be for Halo 3, but the game's main protagonist is the item that seals that deal. CJ explains, "It is the Chief, back on a devastated and Covenant controlled Earth, standing over the excavation of a structure buried in the crust of our own planet that is the meat of our demo."

No argument there.

well the trailer could very well have taken place towards the end of halo3 for all we know, who knows how long earth's defenses have fallen to the covie because truely earth never stood a chance against the covenant, as for the fleet ignoring mc, well he is kinda small and im sure they are all focused on the forerunner installation wether its the ark or not we'll have to wait and see
