Subject: my theory on why covenant hate humans

well, i just came up with this, and thought i might share it. some time ago, when the covenant was searching for forerunner artifacts, they found a hologram. the hologram showed them a human-like creature being obliterated by an energy pulse. when they became more advanced, they traveled space, and found humanity. in the books, before destroying the planet they came across, the humans got a message from the covenant that said "your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument."

time to explain.

the human-like creature is a forerruner, and the energy pulse is halo's weapon. when the covenant saw this, they thought "this creature is being oblitirated by the gods" they mistook the energy pulse for the forerunners, or their spirit, or something. having seen this, the covenant took a dislike for the human creature, when they come across another species that happens to look alot like the thing they saw die, they figure that the gods obliterated them, and so should they. it is their gods' will for us to die, so they start killing. this also fits in with the foreruners being our ancestor in the game.

well, correct me if im wrong..or flame...or something.

Wow, you know i always figured it would be somthing like that, eerie....
but then i got a thinking, i cant remmember the book exactly but im pretty sure that cortana said that, a bunch of the stuff the covies say are rough translations, then i remembered a scene in the halo 2 game (i think its the arbiters first stage) were some one says" you are the will of the prophets and we are their sword" so when i matched it up to "your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument." i figure its not the forerrunners will, its the prophets

so i figured that during the war on the humans , the prophets found the hologram and realized that they had made a terrible mistake, that the people they are killing are those they worship. but being so weak, if they were to tell the rest of the covenant, they would be killed, so instead this is a race to wipe out humans cuz if any traces are linked up to what they had found , the covenant would realize many died for no reason, and would revolt

i would imagine that whoever found the video also was oddly found MIA by the next week

YOUR INCORRECT... they were made because humans hade pizza :P

no..what i mean is....they dislike humans because the forerunners or something else belived that they were the chosen ones and/or the forerunners accenters and thought being almighty meant to kill everything else ... and taking your quote "your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument." i think they were the chosen ones of the forerunners (god) and hade to kill every thing...and just maybe they want all the pizza :P

good theory......but still wrong! they hate humans because they cant even get close enough to george bush to ask him how he passed the third grade(if he actualy did of course)

could you make that a little clearer? and exclude the pizza next time. plus, only the prophets believed that, not the whole covenant.

EDIT- stop spamming, george bush has nothing to do with this, and dont say its wrong if you have nothing to prove it.
