I mean, like Reach did after the covenant conquered it. Bungie said that the Covenant had conquered Earth in the Halo 3 trailer, if that was true, wouldn't the covenant fleet have bombarded the planet. Look at the Mombasa bridge in the backround; it looks pretty fried. But it looks like the place where master chief is didn't get hit because there's trees in the area and there's no way trees would survive a plasma bombardment. Maybe the covenant left that single spot untouched just like they left an area untouched on Reach for investigation.

They didn't glass it because they need the Earth. Earth = The Ark.

Didn't it say something about the Covenant only wanting to capture Earth in the H2 manual? If so, then there you have it. Earth isn't glassed.

Since they didn't glass Earth they obviously need it for something. Weren't you listening in Halo 2 when Cortana said that Regret and his fleet didn't know that there were any humans on Earth? That means that he came to Earth for other reasons, not to destroy humans.

Exactly, Bungie confirmed it wasn't the bridge.

Bungie has said that it is the space elevator.


And earth could be partially glassed. Just because the ark is on earth doesnt meant the covenant wouldnt glass the planet. Remember they left a part of reach untouched so they could retrive the crystal.

Not much, maybe major installations, but not a whole lot. They don't know where anything is, so if they glassed it they'd possibly destroy something important.




How do you know they dont know where anything is?


They knew exactly where to find the crystal!

They didn't completely glass Reach, only some of it. And no, if it were glassed everything would be, in fact, glass.


Gasp, you may be right!

But uh, yeah, they may have glassed most of Earth excluding that on spot, Who knows?
