Why does EVERYONE believe there's a Halo INSIDE the Earth? Sure it'd be a great plot twist...
But it makes little to no sense at all.
In the game, the diagrams we see of the Halos show that they orbit planets.
If anything, it'd be inside our MOON not our own planet.
And the way they are designed... It would make little sense to put them inside of a planet or as PART of a planet. They are fortress worlds, created to keep the Flood from spreading, or even getting OFF the ring.
So naturally... There's nothing on the Halos that the Flood could use in order to escape.
We'd have also seen the monitor or some semblance of sentinals or something. The environments of Halo are VERY controlled, and the landscape is CREATED AND MAINTAINED by Forerunner tech.
Nothing like that on Earth.
I do wish people would read the books, play the games until the dialogue is memorized, and get their information from SOMEWHERE other than theories.
And ONI has been interested in Forerunner structures for quite some time. We don't know what they are or anything, that's why we're studying them.
And if the Covenant went to the original Halo because of coordinates found in a rock...
They most certainly came to Earth to find out where Delta Halo is. It fits the pattern. Earth probably does have more significance than that, but... We won't know until Halo 3. Everything else is simply speculation.
And all of the Covenant know this: Sentient creatures are all drawn to Forerunner tech somehow. That's why so many of our colonized planets are riddled with Forerunner structures and the like. We can assume that every race of the Covenant has planets with Forerunner structures on them. And only the Prophets could tell us for sure why we're drawn to such things, when we don't even know they're there. For that piece of information, I consulted the "Conversations From The Universe" booklet I got with my purchase of Halo 2 Limited Edition...
I swear... so few people consult it when it holds such a wealth of information...
Some of us cant memorize dialogue because we have lifes...sorry.
