Does anyone else think that at some point in Halo 3 Earth is going to get glassed just like reach? If you guys do do you have any theories about where the story might go?

"You have been measured, you have been weighed: And you have been found lacking."

Okay let us think about this.

There is a large artifact on Earth.

The Covenant don't damage Forrunner Artifacts (First Strike Novel)

I doubt they're going to run the risk of potentially damaging their artifact

Yes maybe after their works is done and they've ripped the artifact from the earths gravity, but until then I doubt it

Yeah but in one of the books they glassed almost all of reach except the part where the artifact is. THey might do it this time to, dont you think?

You say tomato; I say potato.

i believe frankie said that the trailer occurs after earths defenses have fallen. in fact, the covies didnt glass reach entirly untill they were sure that the planet was useless.

Did they even glass it entirely or is it still only half glassed like the book says?

No, Earth won't get glassed because of the rather large ( I make it to be 15miles in diameter) Forerunner installation there. Heck, the Covenant might even demolish all Human structures and make themselves a new homeworld surrounding this glorious artifact left behind by their lords. That's what I would do, you bet.

The covenant may partially glass Earth. That's what they did on Reach when they didn't want to damage the artifact there.

no, if the covies were smart they'd leave us the -blam!- alone. fortunately, we are fighting a stupid enemy. :)

they will glass everywhere on Earth except for the general area of the Ark. Just like Reach and the other Forerunner site.

If they don't glass Earth, I hope to god theirs a fleet of UNSC Ships out there to try to take out at least a few ships, or do my manuver called the "The Noob manuver" on the Covenant Fleet at Mombasa.
