now that the civil war started and highcharity is underflood control the covenat is not doing so well so if the UNSC can repel the attck on earth then they could pull thier resources and build back up thier fleet becuase the if the UNSC stops them from taking earth then the UNSC will have time to recover and if the UNSC can do that the covenat fleet will be worst of then it is from the civil war and the flood taking higthcharity   thier whole fleet (besides the ships that went to attack earth ) is split up and fiting each other so thier fleet is in ruins and for the record the covenat is now only the brutes the jackals and the drones becuase the profeths sided with them and the elites are the rebels so the UNSC could pull of this war with luck stragety and  humans wiling to give thier lifes for the war effort and mabey allyingthem selves with the elites what do you guys think plz share ???

the covenant is so much better than us i would say its almost an even battle but beacuse it is a story and people get mad if it dosnt turn out the way they wanted it to, i would say we are going to win the battle.

don't forget that earth is also at the verge of civil war with rebel forces. (yes they exist, just read the books)

Maes Hughes, i will miss

I say and this will p.o. a bunch of people but that MC will realize that since he cannot obliterate the flood  and humanity as been having major difficulties with the covenant split or not he will realize that humanity is doomed anyways so he will activate the ark and destroy humanity all humanity "that he knows about" SPOILERS FOR GHOSTS OF ONYX COMING UP. Afterwards Kelly, Hasley and the other Spartans get transported out of the dyson sphere to repopulate the universe....yadda yadda the spartans get freaky and life begins again.

 

I also have a therory based on the description of the area that they are in it is either Bloodgulch(Coagulation,Vallhalla(should that not be a clue considering that is where all the best warriors go when they die according to Norse mythology)) Because in Halo 3 there will be a river in the middle. or Battle Creek(Beaver Creek, I don't know what it will be called in Halo 3 or if it even will make an appearence.) it has been so long since I have played either but I think Battle Creek had the river and beaver had a dried river bed.

Say Halo 2 my little friend

The elites are still driving the covenant but they are fighting humans and prophets.  Obviously from the trailer, it doesnt look so good for humans considering that cortana says this is the way the world ends.  And there are approximately 27 covenant cruisers in the cutscene.  So, im guessing we lose that battle

Hebereke, I actually posted a theory similar to that somewhere...can't remember where.

yomama, pizza had a good theory http://forums.halowars.com/8/27217/ShowThread.aspx

I like pi.

the elites arent covenat no more  the brutes were told by the profeths to kill the elites so the elites  werent going out with out a fite and the hunters and the grunts  came to the elites  aid by allying with them against the covenat so now the brutes the jackals and the drones are the covenat also the profeths and earths orbital cannons  i forgot the real name but they can destroy a covenat ship  with 1 blow and they have a lot of them and they are on the surface of the planet so they will have to deploy grounds forces  to destroy thier power genorater but they will have themn higly defended and they have  the rest of thier fleet to defend the staions read the fall of reach and you will under stand i dont think the UNSC will make the same mistake againand also the rest of the surviving UNSC will be veterans with experiance and they wont just die i think they could pull it of

Actually, First Strike would be the book to read concerning the Covenant assault on the Super MAC generator complexes.

You know what that paragraph needs, greg? Punctuation. Makes it so much easier to read. Try it sometime.

I like pi.

really not just puctuation but get out of italics plz. it is a tad bit annoying to read. as i have said in other places and as others said here. Many people would be pissed if the humans don't win. Who knows.

ps. i dont punctuate much either

---

greg heres a suggestion, Punctation, no bolding and italics. and stop posting dumb questions

Hell, I don't even care if you don't use commas, apostrphes, colons, but for God's sake at least part sentences with periods. It makes a long dense paragraph so much easier to read.

I like pi.

i agree i had to read it like 4 times through to understand it.

There is a chance, but like what Dr. Halsey said in Ghosts of Onyx, "Her spartans would fight till they win or die trying. Humanity muat try to survive, not win.

Humans have a good chance of surviving

Looking at the "glass everything except the place we need" method done on Reach, and with only Halsey and co. alive in Ghosts of Onyx, by the time of Halo 3 there are only about 100 humans left. Seeing as how the big distraction of the Covenant Civil War was stopped by the whole Elite fleet and planet being destroyed by the NOVA, and with the flood having to spend the time repairing High Charity, the Covenant have this one in the bag. Truth is probably sneaky enough to find a way to use the remote activation of the halo rings without a human, and with all of the Covenant inside the Ark, any possible human survivors will be eventually found and killed, and if the Halo rings destroy any bodies the flood might be inside, then the large amount of infection forms left could be rather easily taken out by glassing High Charity. Gravemind or no, even the flood winning seems unlikely. In the end, the Covenant will march on with power while everything else is dead.
