Your mother is so fat, she tried to jump through Halo and got stuck.

Go check out ma file share. plz? lol

This, well, theory-ish thingy goes all the way back to when Lord Hood said" This is the only place on earth the Covenant decided to land, and that Prophet is going to tell us why."

I finally figured out why the landed just there and no where else:

1. They knew thats where the structure was so the jumped inside the city knowing that the blast would uncover the structure.
2. To lure Master Chief off of Earth so the covenant could take it.


To strengthen # 1 , The dying Prophet ( the one Chief kind of saved my popping the Flood thing ) said "....To Earth, to finish what we started." They started to dig up the structure and they were going back to finish and take over Earth.

As for # 2, that's just my theory.

Lemme know what you think.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I think every knows that already..... But hey, at least your theory is correct.

I beleive bungie wanted to add some context to the enviroment..............instead of having a barron desert wasteland.................

Plus, the trees look great, a good chance to show off some of the enviroments graphic features...............

Read about my gaming here.

It tore everything in the blast with it in slipspace, not destroyed it, all the buildings come out when they come out of slipspace, and the covenant could impossably have known that MC was on Amberclad, and even less that Amberclad would have engages the covenant ship. So number 2 don't really hold, that is just "coincidence" (more like developer's programing and stuff but you get the idea)

I wouldn't really call #1 a theory, due to the fact that Frankie pretty much confirmed that in the Update Does the canyon / hole in the trailer have something to do with New Mombasa and that spacejump the Covenant Capital Ship made at Halo 2?

That's an excellent question. A Slipspace jump in-atmosphere would have a devastating effect on an environment, don't you think?

True. but why is there chucks of the city laying everywhere if it should have all gone with Regret.


There are no chunks of the city laying everywhere. That wreckage is the
fallen "tether" aka space-lift.

And remember the Covenant have been beating up on Earth for a while
befor the Cheif got back, so who knows what's happanded...

There are trees because they have really bendy trunks. The shockwave sent out by the in-system jump only made the little bushes flap in the super sonic forces. And it looks cool to see the wind blowing through them in the trailer.
