I doubt this but ive been reading alot about what the covenant do and why and it starts outh that elites and prophets were the original races of the cov. and moved from there.their main goal is to completly understand and control all forerunner artifacts which are on many difrent planets in many difrent places. On their way to this goal a planet with forerunner artifacts may already have inhabitants(grunts for example).Eventualy their planent is taken over by the covies and what is left of the species is converted into their religion and their culture.

So i was thinking mabee they want to attack earth is their are some forerunner artifacts there which were overloooked by humans.And their trying to obtain the artifacts,and their plans may be to convert humans into the covenant because of the technelogical possibilities.

Some people say they hate humans for some reason in their religion,but mabee they just hate them because they arnt part of the religion and they hapens to just be in the way of the artifacts on earth.others say they take no human prisoners and kill al,but in the third level of halo Truth and Recolection they have cells where they keep captured humans.

I was just wondering about this and how others think about it

It's impossible. The Covenant want all humans dead, resistent or traitors. They would never want or need help from humans.

ill have to agree with you there darknet, but the thing about forerunner stuff on earths sounds mighty good to me
perhaps a halo 2 mission ?
prevent covenant from getting an artifact ?

I think the leaders of the covenant hate humans but soldiers dont start wars they just fight them.so its like if your goverment does something and starts a war you may not agree but must fight because you may be imprisoned.I also say a documentary on the secial halo edition xbox called",the making of halo 2" and it showed the african city be blown up and a marine and an elite look at each other and the marine say "whel this is the end....hold me baby" and hugs the elite..so mabee they dont hate humns as much as they say

Yea, that's not an African city or whatever you said it happens after you beat The Maw on Legendary. Johnson and a Blue Elite are fighting over an assault rifle when they see The Maw exploding, so they probably just figured, why fight since we're both gonna die.

yea, that's soooo funny. "I guess this is it, hold me!!!" ahhh, soooo funny

I haven't read any of the books and they may not really answer these questions. But if the Covenant are trying to control and understand all things Forerunner, (this is a big leap) but maybe they hate Humans because they live on a natural worlds, rather than built ones (by forerunners).

The more likely (if any were true) would probably be the opposite (destroy Forerunner artifacts) but the Covenant were not to my knowledge trying to destroy Halo Alpha (or whatever). But after Halo Alpha was destroyed that would up the war a bit if they did worship the Forerunners. Course what are they gonna do extinguish our species again? haha

hehehe, I completely forgot that part!!!!!

lol

Its a long story:
The convenant worship the forerunners. Eons ago when they lived there was a strange new race (flood) the reason they were strong is because they were versatile (eg use human guns). The flood destroyed the forerunners but they left robots like guilty spark to imprison them in planets like halo. Theyre order was that if they escaped they were to be destroyed by each weapon shooting the other on (this explains most of halo 1).
The convenant think there is a link between the flood and humans (because they are both versatile presumably) and fear for theyre excistance, the humans have grown stronger over the centuries and the convenant are tired of watching, they use history to predict what will happen and therefore attack the humans. All we can do is defend ourselfs.
Thats why Covies will never join humans but it may happen the other way around

Thanks for more info, maybe I will check out those books.
