In Halo 1 Mission 3 when you rescue Keyes, he says Halo is a superweapon. Either he overheard the covenant speaking or he had background knowledge (doubt it, I like opojjiipp(sp) 's theory but I dont think he was in on it. So does this mean Truth knew it all?


Sorry if this has been posted before.

read the novels, and if you have read the novels re-read the parts about Colonel Ackerson, theres alot of backstory that goes un-noticed about his secret plans and stuff.

And P.S.: it has been posted, but i dont know the link.

The Covenant did think that Halo was a weapon - a weapon that would cleanse the universe of the corrupt Humans while ensuring the righteous a place in the divine beyond.

Not exactly, Satan. The Covenant mythology says that the Halos and the Great Journey opens the path to ascension. Those worthy will ascend, and those who aren't (heretics and humans) will be left behind.

Keyes mearly mistranslated or misunderstood what the Covenant meant. Nothing more.

Actually, it was Cortana who misinterpreted it. She was the one who said (and this is paraphrasing), "If I'm reading this correctly, they think that Halo is some sort of weapon," and Keyes responded with, "Makes sense; the Covenant kept saying whoever controls Halo controls the fate of the universe." Controlling the fate of the universe referred to determining who goes into Heaven and who does not. Cortana was actually the one who confused everybody, and Keyes probably wouldn't have come to the conclusion that Halo is a weapon if Cortana didn't suggest that possibility.
