Re: Halo 2 timeline -battle at Earth question
Posted By: Wado SGDate: 2/12/05 12:36 p.m.

In Response To: Halo 2 timeline *IMG* (Count Zero)

: Comments?

Thanks, that diagram is very helpful. I always like visual aids. :)

-------

I have a question, and maybe it has been posted the answer to this already, but I missed it. Anyway, at the end of Halo 2 the Forerunner ship ends up at Earth. Now in the background there are explosions indicating a battle.

Now my question is, does anyone know who exactly is attacking and why there is a battle at Earth? The Covenant have the means, and so the Foreunner ship also, to slip inside the kill zone of Earth's defenses, so it would not be necessary to attack Earth's defenses just to land somewhere on Earth.

Now it might be a distraction or it might be to destroy any weapons that might threaten the forerunner ship, so those are possibilities. However, I believe there is more going on in the background than just a distraction or tactical battle to destroy a few orbital MAC.

Images of a siege on Earth come to mind.
