Yep i said it! TO me it looks like they are waiting for the forrunner tech then they will glass!!!


They glass the rest of the planet or the wait till they are done using forrunner tech on human planets like in Fall of Reach

Please post reasons why too! :)

they wouldnt dare glass a planet with something they consider a holy relic on it i doubt they would even glass any part of it because they would consider the land holy as well

well not really cuz in the books they glassed everywher on Reach except wher the crystal thing coukd be found so if the covies really wanted to take over earth, they would glass everywher that the relic is not situated and leave the plzce wher it is not glassed. Then they would use ground troops to clean out the area.

and sigh just said that...

Glass the Ark?

Look how big of a deal they made out of the incident at Halo 04... They wouldn't dare even open fire upon the planet... It's far too holy to them

Would they dare glass the planet that the most holy of relics was placed, I don't think so.

Frankie also said that the Covenant have controlled Earth since the end of Halo 2, so yeah. Just to give proof to you being right.

if you read the halo novels the term glass is used alot, but as the guy said above me its basically, the covenant bombard it with plasma, melt the water and make the ground melt and turn into glass, happen to sigma octanus IV and reach in the books i think, probably harvest too. and any other conquered worlds, sorry for spiel very drunk

For a planet to be glassed the Covenant ships are in orbit above the atmosphere, not as close to the surface as they are in the trailer
