Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Ok, I know it's been said by Bungie that not only are we gonna have another Halo.... but also be on the Covie Homeworld. My question is... which one? Since there at least two. One has to be seperate for the Grunts because they breathe methane and have to wear special suits. So since they are all differenct races I would assume they all have thier own homeworlds. I would think that the homeworld they speak of is one that is like the main gathering world or the place where the head Prophets govern from...

im not sure if we actually go to the their homeworld. all bungie said was that mc takes the fight to the covenant. that could mean many different things. i would think there is only one covenant homeworld (its where they all live together). each race has a homeworld but there will only be one covenant homeworld though.

That is not possible.

First off the Grunts come from a frigid planet with a heavy Methane based atmosphere. They breathe super-cooled methane. That is what those packs and masks that they wear are for.

Secondly the rest of the Covenant, that we know of (meaning the UNSC has actually seen, meaning Prophets may be exempt) they all breathe normal Earth-like air. And most of these species look like they'd come from a nicer, more human friendly enviornment.

Also I own almost every magazine with Halo 2 mentioned in it. And I don't remember ever seeing a thing on the Covenant homeworld. As for the statement that we will take the fight to the Covenant. That may mean another " Operation: First Strike " type move.

'Installation' is a bit of a downplay ;-D

The Covenant Homeworld is kinda like the Vatican in Rome, itsthe main Religious Center of the Covenant, it is also thier Military Base much like Reach for the Humans, as seen Chruch and Goverment are not sperate in Covenant. I do believe the Cheif is going to attack there because his Mission befor the events of Halo where to capture a Prophet and go to Covenant Homeworld and try to make a cease fire...but we know how everything went, I believe their going to be something to do with the homeworld. But as at the end of Frist Strike the Cheif is going to need a miracle.

No one is 100% sure about anything, Cove homeworld, another Halo, nothing. It all depends on what Bungie decides to do with it.

Bungie has previouslly stated another Halo Instalation will be in H2.....

How can that be anything less than 100%....

It's possible that they might change it, but very, very unlikely. There's still 5 months until the release and anything could happen within that time.

On the back of First Strike it mentions MC taking the fight to the Covenant "with a decisive first strike", so this ends up being an attack on the Covenant's huge station ship, the Unyielding Hierophant. So maybe you actually get to do a mission there with a few other Spartans like in the book.

Impossible there wouldnt be enough methan then how could the planet or the inhbitants support such a need for methane?, how long would it be til the methne in those masks of theirs deplete?

The Covenant aren't one species, so they would have multiple "homeworlds" i.e. one for grunts, jackals, elites, and so on. I think that in Halo 2, we would be going to the main homeworld.

I think the grunts or other species wont have there own homeworld any more, but have a collective homeword that they share with the other species!!!
The covenant is a collective race, the species they need they'll absorb that species in there world!!!
They need the grunts becaus of there anormous army (to overwel armys)!
they need elites to command battles (they are good warriors)
And other things count for the other species!

Ya, I am betting dif homeworlds for dif species, but one "earth" type planet were the prophets meat and what not. But I don't think I would want to see the covie homeworld in Halo 2. I think saving Earth and being on the moon and the other Ringworld installation will be enough, and leave going to the covie homeworld out, so they will have something to do in Halo 3

I said something earlier about the MC going back to the Spartans primary mission. It was to capture the high prophet or one of the high prophets. That called for the Spartans to take control of one of the covenant ships and take it back to the covenant world to capture the high prophet.
I think in HALO 2, the MC will do that mission and we get to kick some but on the Covenant home world.

Another point: yes there is a place where all the covenant live. Jackals, Grunts, Elites, Hunters, Prophets and Engineers..and Brutes. plus who knows how many more races.

Think about it, if everyone lives seperate, why would there be a need for a class structure.

This is about the smartest kid I know, I think Halo 2 will start where First Strike started, how else would they get the story across? People who haven't read First Strike will have to know how the story goes somehow. Maybe, just maybe, when Bungie said that MC was taking it to the Covenant, maybe they are just talking about the Strike on the Unyielding Hierophant???
