Re: .."Some battle that happened 900,000 years ago

In Response To: .."Some battle that happened 900,000 years ago"... (Skeletor)

: Has anyone else noticed the amazing landscape that appeared for a few seconds
: after Marcus Lehto's bit at around 5:42 in the 50mb avi version of the X03
: footage? It's beautiful...absolutely the highlight of the movie for me. It
: looks incredibly devastated and war torn, and the structures are very
: outlandish...Definitely some good fodder for speculation.

: You can see six bright, glowing spheres in the distance: three on the far
: right, and two in the upper left (with another, the smallest, between
: those two). At first glance I thought they were stars, but three of them,
: quite noticeably, have a huge glowing line trailing upward from their tops
: (the two on the left, and the upper one on the right). This led me to
: believe they must be falling down towards the planet (perhaps some sort of
: orbital bombardment projectile), but on further inspection they appear to
: be motionless in the sky. The lower two on the right don't appear to be as
: spherical as the others, though I don't know if that fact has any
: importance. In conclusion, I don't know what the hell they are. >_<

: The structures all look rather alien, but it's possible they might be
: skyscrapers or some other future human construction...Probably unlikely
: though.

: Very sexy in any case.

If you've read the Halo books (I think it was the Fall of Reach), you'll remember reading about the Covenant "glassing" whole planets. Take another look at that screenshot (which isn't a screenshot at all, but a painting of some kind)- jagged, blackened razor-sharp edges everywhere; some sort of fiery projectile falling from the sky; and an atmosphere that looks to have been destroyed. I'm not thinking this is a planet you'll visit in the game- this will be the motivation to take it to the Covenant on their home planet. Maybe (like some of you guys said) the Covenant destroy Earth...
