It's not too known, but in the book Fall of Reach, the destroyer group sent to investigate Harvest just got a transmission from the Covenant when they first saw them saying they were an affront to the gods, and the covenant were their tool or some stuff like that... then opened fire and immediately destroyed most of the destroyer group."
Pretty much yeah, I was about to post the same exact thing when I saw this. Basically the Covenant are all about religion, something the Prophets have tought them and given them a huge seat of power. The Prophets are now lying betraying bastards, with the power of the entire Covenant, a selection of diversed races, at their hand. I'm not sure why exactly the PROPHETS told them to attack earth, but I'm sure the COVENANT did it becuase the PROPHETS told them. Yeah that's pretty much it, we don't really know. Ask a writer or something.
Thanks for that info. I guess it appears that no one "really" understands the anger the phophets have toward humans...maybe this is part of the plot of halo 3...this is what I'm starting to think now! Thanks
Yeah, all we know is that the Prophets lie to the Covenant about the humans, and when that's found out the Civil war begins in Halo 2..
We have to guess about the rest..I think it's pretty probable that the Prophets and Humans and possibly the Elites were an old Covenant...
Did you notice all those Arbiters? Like all the little memorials? There was easily 300, and there weren't that many things going on (like the taming of the Hunters or the Grunt Rebellion) going on...
...Maybe there were Arbiters in the old Covenant as well, and the new Covenant doesn't ask questions now since the Arbiters are kinda like the SPARTANs..not much is known about them.
