In the trailer, I find it odd that that whole fleet of Covenant ships just flew over the Master Chief. Not even one Banshee turned around to shoot. I doubt that not one of the ships saw the Chief, it is noticable if a lone figure is walking in barren wasteland. The Chief has ruined the Covenant's plans before, so, if they were still enemies, why didn't the covenant shoot.

I am not saying that they are in alliance, I'm just questioning things.

theyre probably more concerned with getting to the ark

I'm sure that huge thing in the middle of the cavern that was glowing/opening/creating a disturbance in the clouds above it would be more important than a single person walking around.

if they get whatever they are looking for, the chief could stop them, so if they saw him, I think they would have ended their main threat there.

well, how could they know hes a threat? I mean, he killed all the witnesses.....

MC isn't much of a threat when you can fire one plasma torpedo then MC is just ash in the winds.

Too true and what would happen to the plot line if that happened :D

Bungie has stated that by the scene in the trailer takes place around the middle of the game and that the Convie have had firm control of Earth for quite sometime when the scene occurs. They have no fear of one battered Spartan because they have more pressing issues to deal with. Like excavating the Ark.


what i said

the first few mc levels will probably involve the forerunner ship, then landing on earth, then trying and failing to repel the covenant

I'd imagine that the announcement at E3 wouldn't be as well received if you saw a 2 minute trailer of the chief getting pasted by a covenant fleet

Oddly enuff the later levels are rumored to be entirely made up of complex Dance Dance Revolution stages with the Chief, Arbitor and Cortana alternatively dancing to such smash pop hits as "Like A Virgin" and "Hit Me Baby One Mo' Time"......

wtf

Maybe they know better then attacking something that destroyed Halo, killed everything from the Council Chamber to the Mauseleam to the Sanctum of the Prophet Hierarchs, killed the Prophets of Regret(, Truth?) and Mercy (as far as the Covie's know).

Just about every thing I post is my opinion and nothing more. Be subjective. Respect other's opinions. Try to understand other's point of view.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. What if there is a greater threat, maybe like a Forruner. That would be cause for the Covinent and humans to unite.

hmm.
then again, the covies always bend over backward to do the foreruner's bidding so the cov loyalitst wouldn't untie with the humans and elites

Agreed. A Huge Opening on Earth would probally take the bulk of their attention. One lone person poses no problem. Moreover. Even if they did see him, they would have to get permission to engage enemy forces so close to that artifact.
