I dont know if people have guessed this, known this, or dont have a clue at all, so dont get angry at me if this is just something people know.

I think New Mombasa was attacked to wipe out the entire city and then uncover the artifact in the trailer. Once I saw this, I sat and thought about it. So why would the covenant only attack this city, and the only reason I found was to uncover that giant artifact.

they destroyed the city, and I didn't even get to experience the e3 demo. DAM

I am very sad, and very pissed.

regret was not trying to findthe human homeworld. he was looking 4 forerunner stuff, which just happens to be on earth. coincidence? no. the humans are the forerunners, or descendants!

I think Truth went to Earth for the Ark ( the thing in the trailer,I believe). Why else would he go to Earth?

They used the same tatics they used at Sigma Octanus IV and for that matter Reach. Although, with a lesser fleet. I don't think that was the intent with the blast though.

It is my beliefe, that while digging up the artifact (Scarabs, I believe to be primarily mining tools not fighting ones) they found the location of another ring. The Halo's are paramount to the religion of the Covenant, so in compraison, the Ring was more valuable to Regret than this artifact. The only reason more ships showed up to Earth, was simply to clense the humans.

I happen to know a real leak about the game and if you want proof check it out yourselvs. On the Halo 2 collectors disk watch it over and at one point a picture will be on the screen that says "Earth_something_9" and the picture is of the instalation in the Halo 3 trailer. I am almost 100% sure that Earth is a 9th Halo or it is the ark and that humans are the forerunners.

He's talking about the concept art that says

"Earth_Ark_9" Looks like the Artifact on Earth.


There are only Seven Rings, so how did you get nine, and what happened to eight?

It could just be the 9th model of the same artifact. Perhaps there were dozens of iterations but #9 is what they chose?
