I SEE DEAD ALIENS!!!

I played halo 2 multiple times but what i dont understand is at the end of halo 2 the humans have become allies with the covenant. Now mastercheif lands on earth and the covenant has killed off most of the humans. Whats up with that? Can someone please explain this to me why the covenant would kill us after we have made allies?

only the hunters/elites/grunts allied with us (arbiter player) at all, and we don't even know if that's permanent

it's not clear, really

What happened is some of the elites, grunts and hunters have separated form the Covenant as they're essentially been abandoned by Truth & the Arbiter is showing them what Halo's true purpose is. The covie separatists have no feelings towards humanity at the moment Halo 2 ends (accept for a ceasfire between Johnson, Miranda, the Arbiter, & the few elites under the arbiter's command).

NO, Kill them all. They must be completely wiped out.

I believe that Elites/Grunts/Hunters are earth's friends. Remember the civil war between the covenant in H2? It was between the Elites/Grunts/Hunters and the Brutes/Jackals/Drones. Remember also the prophet of truth/mercy telling the arbiter (just before the mission on that heritic facitlity i think) that the brutes are his new protectors. So to give you a full answer:

Elites/Grunts/Hunters: Allies

Brutes/Jackals/Drones/Prophets: Enemies

Only a handful allied with us humans, I guess they couldn't phone home quick enough to call off the massive genocide.

And were still gonna fight elites etc I beleive b/c the elites helping us are like the bad guy elites under the heretic leader. It was still elite/grunt vs elite/grunt

SO maybe now we'll have a few different allies to spice something up but its not a total conversion by the looks of it.

Did you guys not read the last weekly update?
Franky said that he was fight grunts so IMO we are not allies.
