A'ight ya'll, me and my friend were playing Halo 2 today and were discussing the themes of each game and then we noticed a pattern.

Ya'll know the prophet's names right? Truth, Regret, Reconciliation. Well, We saw the relevance of the names of the prophets and matched them with each game.

Halo 1, Truth. The reason why? In the first game we learned the TRUTH about what Halo really was.

Halo 2, regret. The reason why? We regret finding Halo because we learned what it will do and that the covenant do not know the truth about what halo is and that they will use and wipe out everyone, also because they found where earth is which friggin' sucks, and one last reason is that the elites have found out that they have been lied to and REGRET ever following the prophets.

Halo 3 will be reconciliation because the Elites, the grunts, hunters and humans will put their differences behind to stop the evil prophets. I'm not sure what ya'll think but this seems to tie in really well in each game. tell me what ya think a'ight?

I don't see how you managed to mix up "Mercy" with "Reconciliation" but anyway you may be on to something.

lol

It's good that you brought it all together by yourself, and I like it.

Although it may not be correct, and just a co-incidence, or that you could link up any words with each game.. because they are so varied lol.

the covy ship in halo was the truth and reconsiliation(sorry for the spelling if its wrong). the prophets were regret, mercy and truth. and if youre right then i say that the 3rd game will be truth because all of the loose ends should be covered in the final game and youll know the truth ;p

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I like the first and third, the second doesn't make sense. Also, the third Prophet is "Mercy", not "Reconciliation".

Their names are all ironic.

Truth is lying to the whole Covenant
Regret does not regret coming to Earth as he learns of Halo whil here, or from here
Mercy recieves no mercy from Truth

the names can be ironinc if u think about it that way...

or

regret regrets going 2 earth because he 'jumped the gun' and was going to be punished by the other prophets (just played halo 2 today, fresh in my mind)

mercy shows mercy to regret, by only giving him a light senteance for 'jumping the gun' and he also shows mercy to the humans by saying that they wont be left behind on the great journey (he thinks that its going 2 be like heaven or something, so to him thats good)

truth knows the truth about the halos and everything
