→How much do the Covenant know?
Line 266:
** In the first game, Cortana says that ''she'' believes that the Covenant think that Halo is a weapon. She adds the caveat that "If I'm analyzing this correctly...." Cortana isn't infalliable, as the rest of the game shows, and she wasn't analyzing it correctly. She probably confused all the refernces to "cleansing fire" and "divine light" as references to weapons.
** The Covenant think it will send all true believers on the great journey while wiping out the rest of existance. They still think it's a weapon, just that it works differently.
*** Technically speaking, that is exactly what the Halos ''do'' -- kill all sentient life in the galaxy while allowing those who are on the Ark to be preserved for the next cycle. The problem in Halo 1 and 2 was that the Prophets' incomplete understanding of the lore did not quite grasp that you had to be ''on the Ark'' to avoid dying if the Halo rings in the galaxy were activated, hence them trying to use a remote activation protocol.
