Subject: How The Covenant control Earth-a theory

did earth fall because the Covenant relesed the Flood on Earth?
in the "conversations from the Universe" booklet that came with the H2 collectors edition the letter to the prophet indicates the possibility of the Covenant using the flood as a weapon

the use of the flood would also explain how the Elite-Hunter-Grunt coalition failed to defeat the prophets and the Brutes

also- there have been speculations of the ark activating accidentialy there might not be any safegaurds or keys needed to activate the ark but the mere presence of the flood can activate it

i know there are alot of holes but it is just a theory please criticize all you want but dont just say that im wrong -EXPLAIN your posts

P.S. if anyone has figured out the letter from the Prophet of Truth please post the translation

the covenant do not need help taking over earth. So i dont think they would need to use the flood as a weapon, i cant see how they would use the flood either.

The flood would kill the covenant and everthing else and most likely find and destory the ark thus ending the threat to their exstiance.

Its not that he knew this would happen but rather he planned it out this way.

nice theory but come on i mean the flood are a great threat to anyone and the covenant are afraid of the flood as stated in HALO:CE. I really doubt it that they would use the flood on earth. But nice theory but just way too many holes.

Well, the loyalists don't even know about Gravemind, so I don't see them effectively using the flood. They think the flood are wild parasites, but Gravemind would likely organize and destroy them if they tried such a thing.

It's possible that they captured an infection form and released it into earths environment or one of the MAC guns, it wouldn't take any effort either. And it really only takes one to infect the entire population.
