Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

i just had a thought

What if the covenant know that the Halo's will be activated and that Earth is the only safe place, so the reason for fighting would be that they arent willing to share the space?

No members of the Covenant except for perhaps the Prophets know that Halo is a weapon.

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

No, the covenant believe activating the Halo's will send them on their "Great Journey". They have no reason to seek a safe place.

When a halo is activated, nothing is safe.

Only possbily Truth knows that Halo is a weapon, but I too believe that Earth will be safe from the destruction seeing as it is the ark, the energy beam you see in the trailer is actually the launcing of an energy shield around the earth I think.

no but think about it:

Heres the 3 prophets, they know what the Halo's do. They need to kill off the flood so they make up some BS about ''great journeys'' and they know that these ''humans'' were once they forerunners, they dont tell the elites that tho. They need to find the safe planet, and since they dont feel like walking up to an unknown ship and saying "Hey take us and our 300 battle destroyers to your homeworld for reasons we cant say'', they just start to annihilate them until they find the ark and the safe planet.

Did you play halo 2? The Elites, Hunters, and Grunts all know full well what the Halo'd are for. That is why there is a civil war. How can people miss things like this!

That was pure speculation, but it makes sense.

Hmm...i think the Ark was created to save sentient life in the universe from the flood. Why? The flood feeds on sentient life. (that's why the halos were created to destroy all sentient life). However, i do not believe that even all the members of the bungie community combined can solve the riddle...until the game comes out.

Only the heretics that the Arbiter helped silence knew this. The reason for the war is the Elites losing their roles to the brutes, and then the Elite councils being slaughtered, no doubt they will learn this in the next game though.

cuz when you think about it, the covenant have never given a reason as to why they began their holy war against the Humans, other then that "they are an affront to the gods"

Why else to start a fight then getting something your enemy has?

Actually, I am indeed correct. The Elites, the Hunters, and the Grunts know that Halo is a weapon, but they are no longer part of the Covenant. Keep in mind that the Covenant is a religious organization as opposed to a racial one. The people that know that Halo is a weapon aren't attacking Earth.

Yes im saying they DO know what the Halos do, but the elites are maybe more compassionate then the prophets and want no part in fighting the humans for prime real estate, and they were also slaughtered by the brutes to kick them out.

If that were true, then there wouldn't be a good reason for them to continue to refer to the activation of the Halos as "The Great Journey," and the Arbiter wouldn't have to ask 343 Guilty Spark what the Halos do to convince Tartarus that the Prophets betrayed them.
