If Coexistence is the only way they can make an ending to Halo 3. Then don't have an ending at all, leave it up to the player/fan to decide. Like the ending of Terminator 2. Running down a highway leaving only questions to what the future will bring. But if it does end that way. Think about it. The Covenant will have the dominate race and could wipe us out at anytime if they became tired of us for one reason or another. They know everything about us and we don't even know where their home planet is. Pretty much where they come from. I think it would be a cool ending to fight of the Covenant forces from earth and then chase them back to their home planet. Or just activate the halos with only humans inside. Killing the Covenant and the Flood in one fell swoop.

I am not going to settle for a coexistence ending like in the Matrix Trilogy. They came to our home land, wiped out many of our other planets. And what have we done to them to deserve it? Nothing, some BS lie that Truth made them believe about the halo rings. Too many people have died. I do not want to come to the end of the game, and have everyone say, lets just be friends. They said you will finish all your fights that were started in the first 2 Halo games. And the only way to finish this one is wipe the convenat out.
If you don't know what I mean by coexistence, look it up or watch the Matrix movies. I don't agree, but I know where you are coming from. Bravo, it takes balls now-a-days in this forum to voice your opinion. Ah co-existince, an awesome word, ain't it? You don't have to settle for co-existince, that is fine. I am sure what ever Bungie does, both You and I will like it. Happy stuff aside, since I don't agree I will do my best to rip your post to pieces. **Cracks Knuckles, clears throat** Look at it this way. In our Military (U.S.), our troops are trained to hate the enemy so they won't hesitate to kill when needed. I assume it is the same in the Covenant Military, Communist or not. They were just following orders, as were our troops (I'm talking Halo, now). The Prophets mis-lead the Covenant, hell, most of the Cov's Military is made up of people that don't even want to fight (Grunts, Hunters, Jackels), the Brutes and Elites, however, love to fight (besides the point). From what I have seen in Halo (and in reality), our troops don't really want to fight either, they are just forced to for survival (in Halo they are, but in reality no because the U.S. is currently running under a volunteer Military). Now that you know that neither side really wants to be fighting, I must inform you that for any Military to be successful and be able to defend it's Homestead, it's troops need to follow the orders of the Commanding Officers and trust their decisions without question (unless someone has seen something significant enough that needs to be known by the C.O. to save lives, then they need to question). The Covenant were mis-lead and being used when they attacked Earth, they were just doing what their leadership told them to do. You can't blame them for that.
Now for the Human side. We are under excellent tactical Commanders in Halo (as are the Covenant, the Elites are brilliant tacticians), and as such we have killed plenty of Covenant who I also might add don't want to be fighting in the first place. So now we are killing brothers and sisters, fathers and sons who don't actually want to be fighting. What would you want to do to the person that killed your friends and family? You would want them to suffer. This goes equally for both sides. Remember Truth planned ALL of this from the start. It is his fault, not the Covenants.
Why don't you want co-existince? You say the Covenant has killed too many of our kind. How many of them have we killed? To them, too many. Us and the Covenant Separists are in the same boat, friend. If both the Separists and Humans wish continued existince of their races, they will become allies. From what I see, it is the only way.
If Coexistence is the only way they can make an ending to Halo 3. Then don't have an ending at all, leave it up to the player/fan to decide. Like the ending of Terminator 2.
