Never Give Up Without A Fight

The Hushed Casket

Okay
In First Strike a huge covenant fleet of 500 was going to attack earth

They were then destroyed and the attack delayed

In Halo 2, Regret brings a fleet of only 15 and said no human presence was foretold, and he landed only at new mombasa

Most likely that leads to the fact that Regret was looking foir the artifact beneath the Aftrican desert

The only question then is did the Covenant believe at first that earth and the location of supposedly the ark are two different places?

If so where exactly did they believe earth to be or how could such an advanced species not relise two l;ocations are one and the same?

They also didn't know at the time Earth was the home planet for Humanity.

The games and books do not directly go together, Regret was probably just checking out what was on the planet, or he may have know the artifact was there, but about the fleet, it never said they were going to Earth, just near Earth's coordinates, so they may have been looking for something near Earth.

they knew that earth was their home planet, but unlike the covies home planet, earth is well populated.

i don't think that the prophets knew the ark was in africa.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

The books and games are directly related, if you'd really like me to I can provide proof...I think that may be a mess up on Bungie's part.

It's true. The books are canon.
