Actually, you really could be on to something here. During the cutscene of H2 when you are about to be ejected from the pelican in those landers, look very closely at the land shape of Halo in the aerial view. Call me a retard but the land shape very much resembles the continent of Africa. Maybe, just maybe, the covenant or forerunners came to Earth far before Humans evolved and built all the halos on Earth. (who knows, Earth could have been bigger but then got hit by sumpin big and Saturn was the result) But then, somewhere along history, The covenant forgot about this for millions of years and its just now that the prophets are finding them So, as a result Truth did some homework, found out the true meaning of the Halos and kept it a secret from the rest of the Covenant. However, he stopped just a bit early and never read about the fact that Halo would destroy the parasite "by destroying there food" ( "Cortana" Halo: Combat Evolved) or he new of this and found a way to become immune to Halos power. So now upon seeing another Halo stopped, Truth told the Covenant of what he found out, did some more homework and discovered where the rest of the Halos can be found or where a piece of anothe Halo can be located. That could be the big giant structure the Covenant are after, a smaller Halo, or a piece of another one.
OR
Remember that same cutscene when the next Halo is found. Pay attention and Mirranda will pull up a hologram of many ( possibly 7) rings. Now, we all know the first was destroyed by MC in H1 explaining why one is missing and te last is still emebedded in Earth. Now, call me crazy but maybe the forerunners went to each of the nine planets to build halos around the equators of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus ( ha ha ), Neptune and Pluto. The ( your favorite planet ) one was destroyed. Why the land structures in the fly over resemble Africa you say. Simple, They found Earth to be the only life sustaining planet so they designed the Halos land face to be similar to that of Earth's. Now, sometime in history, the flood invaded Earth forcing the forerunners to leave it. But then, somewhere along history, The covenant forgot about this for millions of years and its just now that the prophets are finding them So, as a result Truth did some homework, found out the true meaning of the Halos and kept it a secret from the rest of the Covenant. However, he stopped just a bit early and never read about the fact that Halo would destroy the parasite "by destroying there food" ( "Cortana" Halo: Combat Evolved) or he new of this and found a way to become immune to Halos power. So now upon seeing another Halo stopped, Truth told the Covenant of what he found out, did some more homework and discovered where the last of the Halos can be found. Earth. But this one is essential for the other to work. That could be the big giant structure the Covenant are after, the last of the Halos.
Note: These are my theories and make perfect sense to me. Do not criticize me too much cuz i have never read any of the Halo books. This is all based on gameplay. These are not spoilers, At least i hope not i mean wat r the odds that this is actually how Halo 3 turns out. I'll most likley read the books soon and update this upon fifnishing.
Bungie, please release a playable demo in the near future.
