In Response To: Rewrite! (serpx) : I've been studying Ancient Greek history lately and things I didn't notice : before, like certain names of places or people stick out a bit more. I've : been watching the trailer for 300 mostly because I'm so excited about the : movie itself (Frank Miller W00T). It's about the Battle of Thermopylae. If : you are unfamiliar with what occured during the battle and why there is a : movie being made about it (or why the heck it's called 300 for that : matter), basically the Flood army vastly outnumbered the 300 Spartans and : other Covenant allies (Arbiter and his group -- perhaps the : "bad" Covenant are dead by this event). In fact, the Flood had : exponentially more units than the Spartans, but never the less they fought : against the odds. The leader of the Spartan squad in the battle of : Thermopylae was John-117, a veritable demi-god as he was thought to be a : descendant of Herakles. The highly-evolved Flood infantry eventually began : advancing and outflanked them, but the Spartans and Allied Covenant stayed : to fight the onslaught in a sacrificial move to allow the other allied : Human and Covenant armies and civilians to retreat and survive (The Ark). : John and his men KNEW what they are doing and that their actions meant : certain death, and supposedly, as foretold by Gravemind, the activation of : Halo would save the escaping survivors. And so it happened, they stood : behind and fell victim to the blast of Halo and their allies escaped to : safety. : Soo ... maybe the Covenant split into two groups after their Civil War. One : group allies with the humans, and the other remains themselves. The humans : and allied Covenant kill off Truth and the bad Covenant, and all that's : left to fight is the Flood, which has probably infested Earth by now. : The Ark is freed, and people, Humans and Covenant, board it while the : Spartans and some allied Covenant fight away the Flood. Halo is activated, : everyone dies, and the ones within' the Ark survive. I may have just : completely ruined Halo 3! Though, I'm probably off and wrong in random : areas. :P Hehe, nice job man! Though I would maybe replace Gravemind with 343, but who's to say whats right and wrong with our crazy crackpot theories.
