Subject: I think the covenant will win.

lol

Ok, I think Bungie are really subtly giving us hints that the covenant will win.. well, that bungie are TRYING to say that.. so MasterChief wins in the end and its an ever BIGGER suprise to us.

Here are my 'notes' to back up my point. There is more, but I've forgotten most of them. Add to the list if you want, or dis-prove me.. but I think I'm right [well, does't everyone think thier theory is the right one.. lol]

* The Covenant have had more weapons brought onto the scene that Human.

Ok, its because Humans are getting these weapons of the covenant story-line wise, but stuff like the brute shot, the covenant carbine, we have never seen these before. And the energy sword, ok so we saw it, but the humans had never used it. When its in the hands of the MC, its brutal. And imagine that in the hands of the elites, 100's of them.. but this leads me into:

* The Covenant are getting bigger and better vechiles.

The Halo3 tralier, how many dropships did you need? How many banshees? I think the covenant have control over the air.. most definate. Ok, so the humans have missiles on the ships [In halo1, cortana says to keyes that missiles are down.. or something, we def. have them] but the covenant have guns on thier dropships, like 3 on Halo2 now.. and the banshees, also the scarab, that things a monster, and the driveable wraith - I included this as we couldnt drive it in H1, and its just adding to the list of covenant vechiles. What new human vechiles have we got? O wait, none. They are just updated... Look at the covenant vechiles, then the humans.. lol. Humans: like 3 [warthog, pelican, tank] covenant tons.. Also, it seems that MasterChief is relying ALOT on covenant vechiles to get around.. or is that just me?

Also, look at the Halo2 concepts.. The phantom and the transport bus.. - ok, so the transport bus wasn't included in the game, but still.. bungie may of added this as a sublte clue. Again this leads onto..

* More covenant appearing..

In the beginning of H2, we see the arbiter, tons of brutes, the prophets, the guards, the drones, and that fury guy (forgotten name..) - theres tons of new covenant coming onto the scene, and they're all getting quite big. Also, the ranks of elites are new too.. gold and silver elites, and the same goes to the brutes and guards. I only saw 1 gold elite in H1 [its the level you play on HaloTrial on the PC] the covenant seemed a little force when I first played Halo. Now they are huge! Tons of ranks, the high ranks now appearing on the scene..

But what about the human concept art? Motorcycles, the boats.. The boat is back from 2000. I doubt they'll release it in Halo3, 7 years later.

Not meationing Cortana, she helps MasterChief alot. Now shes with gravemind, or so we think.. without her, MasterChief isn't all that great.. he doesn't know much about the covenant, or unless Cortana has been giving him lectures.

I dont know it to you, but to me.. it just seems the covenant's vechiles are getting stronger, the covenant are getting bigger (or they may of been big before, but now the humans have found out there is tons of them!) and they are creating more weapons, unlike the humans. We only have a warthog for ground transport, which it pretty weak. No protection. The weapons have down graded a bit.. only exception is the rocket launcher with homing, but how iis that going to outdo the whole covenant army. I think the covenant are getting wiser, and the humans aren't moving forward.

Not to mention the 'ark' thing the covenant have discovered. UHT-O.

-------------------------------------

Also, the Cortana letters..

"I have witnessed countless empires break before me." [I think this is Gravemind speaking THROUGH Cortana. This is the part at the END of Halo2/in the Halo3 tralier where she cries out in 'agony'. The empires I think are the forerunner race.]

"I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear."
[Other spartans/marines trying to do what MC is doing, yet when they come to gravemind, or the flood/covenant, they 'fall away in fear']

"I have seen your future.
And I have learned."
[Gravemind has learnt not to try to be the hero? That masterchief is foolish to try to do what hes doing..]

"I HAVE WON. Your poem Elliot had it all wrong, this is the way the world ends."
[Again, Gravemind speaking. I think this is when he is talking to Masterchief directly through his visor like cortana does. Gravemind is talking through cortana telling him this just before he dies..]

2nd cortana letters:

"a Demon folded in black clouds"
[We all know the covenant call MC a demon..]

"I believe I know what it guards, and I will have it,"
[Gravemind knows something is guarding something. Ok, thats vague.. but lets say the index, as MC kept trying to get it, and gravemind has it, and its again some kind of weapon?]

Ok I cant describe whats in my head at the moment, it all sounds too vague.

--------------------------

If MasterChief will ever prevale, I think he's going to leave the humans behind, and go in either alone, or with other spartans. If anyone has read the Halo3 tralier glitches/finds thing, you'll read about they think he's signalling to other spartans, I think its just a reflection from the light, as the 3 flashes are different sizes. Anyway, yeah, take note of what I've written. I had SOOO many more notes, Ive just forgotten it all.

I'll add more notes in later posts too. Just add, or add your own notes!

The Covenant will win what? The drawing for a new Honda Civic?

Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Well, if the Flood escapes, there's a good chance no one will win. And trying to fight two wars at the same time doesn't help much. Now if we could somehow set aside our differences, maybe we could do something about our "doomed existence?" I don't think that's likely, though, unfortunately.

I am...whimsical today.

Remember that suddenly half the Covenant now have no reason to fight us (apart from habbit). And I don;t think that the deciding war will be between us and the Covenant, but ALL of us and the Flood.

I think your looking at it a bit too closely. If bungie kept making the same game with the same weapons and the same characters and such, it would be hella boring. Also, just because the Covenant have more stuff doesn't mean they could win. If there was a team of leg-less footballers against one guy, the guy would win even though there were more leg-less people. See what Im getting at...

Also, I now the example is a bit iffy

But Iceman, activating Halo doesn't get rid of the flood, just it's food source...wait, that's us! So activating Halo would kill all of us and the elites, grunts, brutes, jackals, hunters, marines, prophets and everything else I forgot to mention. Then the Flood will die off from lack of food.

I think it will be Master Chief, the Marines and La Resistance (Rebelling Covenant) against the...well everything else. lol.

I think MC and the humans will win then the good covies take over the rest of it. As for the flood, come on, you can kill those krackers easy..lol. Unless they put a good 100 or so Juggernaut Flood in there. That will be interesting.

Also, on a different note, I think the Juggernaut Flood is an infected mechanic. Just a thought.

Actually the covenant bus was in halo 2... You just can't ride in it... Remember that in the first halo you were only fighting against a small small tiny army of covenant that had followed the pillar of autum after it made the random slip space jump and happend to land right smack dab next to halo. So your fighting a couple huge ships worth of covenant on halo (not all of them but they are all on the ring) So they only have the veachiles with them already that a normal battle ship would carry. Now in halo 2 you are fighting an invasion force sent to uncover i'm sure the ark. Thats what they want... That thing you see in the trailer so there gonna have a heck of a lot more goodies to kill humanity with wouldn't you think? There not getting smarter... All they do is use other species technoligy to help themselves... They don't even know how to use half of it. If they did we would have been destroyed ages ago... They could beat us... But they don't really care if they do or not they just want to get to the ark thats why they didn't glass our whole planet.
