They said that it is a Covenant controlled earth, that would mean that all the meaningful defenses have been destroyed. That does not mean the human race has been obliterated there. Think about it, the threat of Covenant invasion has been looming over their heads for years, so much effect it has had they made a huge network of MAC cannons in space. Do you think they wouldn't have made shelter and defenses specifically to protect civilians in case of an all out attack by the Covenant? Tunnel networks and the like I mean. I am guessing that the toll on the Earths defenses was catastropic, but as of yet, the toll for civilians is comparatively light, and if you think about it, with their most holy artifact within hands grasp they might not be completely thorough with their extermination efforts. As for glassing the planet? I'm not sure they would dare do so until they found out the exact nature of Ark. Would the Prophets risk damaging their precious Great Journey for the purpose of eradicating what they no longer consider a threat? Sure out of principle they would still hunt them down, but it can be hard to be found if you don't want to. Their technology might make it easier.. I admit to have never read any of the books, so I don't really know how well their technology for detects life signs goes, so I can't really extrapolate on that.

omFG you guys are totally oblivious to the halo 3 scrip! -blam!- find it on the internet or something i mean serious this is a retarded post. here let me clear some things up









POSSIBLE HALO 3 SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!













The humans have first of all not wanted to allie with the covenenat, second of all the covenant did not kill them because the covenents main objective is protecting the halo rings. the covenant would have allied with the humans if we had not destroyed there first ring. and third of all there are mostlikey more human planets because the covenant came straight to earth learning that the earth is a halo ring because they knew the covenant got to earth somehow, and wanted to protect the ring. they are killing the humans though because they think we infested the planet, and are trying to find a way to desttroy the ring. oh and the flood got to earth because of cortana. and no, i didnt amke a character name mistake it was CORTANA (the ai) who betrayed as all. for proof of this play the last level of halo 2 untill it gets to the part where its the movie showing cortana telling you to leave her behind. Why does she want to be left behind? to destroy the ring, and make a welcoming home for the gravemind (which you can tell that cortana wants the gravemind by what she says when it enters the door) btw the gravemind is Capt keyes from halo 1. (yes the blob that u suposedly punch the face out to get the nueral impants from is the gravemind.

because the forerunners had forsaw and wrote done that we were going to destroy the rings because they thought the rings were used mainly as a weapon to wipe out the humans. and the covenant found the book. notice how many times the forerunners are mentioned by the covenant and that the covenant think that anything the forerunners says has to be obeyed and taken into account. oh ya and to fully answer the question the humans are destroying the rings because of cortana, WHO bestayed us. and sided with gravemind, master of the flood.

yes cortana has shown evidence of siding with gravemind at the end of h2, but it was since she ever wanted to destroy the rings. rember though the gravemind has been captain keyes from the beginning

Yea...about that. The human military is beaten, that does not mean you have to destroy every single solitary human ship to render their forces incapable of an effectual attack against the covenant as a whole. There will be human marines and human forces in Halo 3, of that I am sure. Its just the setting, and its probably going to be a 'trying to survive' feel rather than, find a way to utterly destroy the mean aliens.

Besides, how the hell do you manage to extrapolate that there is no alliance between the elites and humans. If all the covenant ships at earth at that point were Brute' controlled, the alliance does not help Earth all that much.

where does it say that keyes is gravemind...? if its true, that would be quite a plot twist indeed!

i still dont see a good enough reason as to cortana having sided with gravemind. Just because she agrees that they shouldnt fire halo, doesnt mean she sides with him. She will still retain her independence just as the monitor of the delta halo has.
