But the Covenant attack on Earth in Halo 2 had nothing to do with revenge. Nothing. In fact, the Covenant fleet that first showed up had no idea that the world they were headed to was the human home world. The rest of your comment makes little to no sense. The geth already had a "civil war" that Commander Shepard resolved (during Legion's loyalty assignment), and after that, your post because jumbles of words, where I can detect no coherent sentences. All I can say is that the Covenant went after Earth for an extremely plot-unique reason, one that is (I say with a fair degree of confidence) absolutely not going to be present in ME3. In short, the Reaper attack on Earth (what little we know of it at present) sounds nothing like the Covenant attack on Earth other than it's an attack by aliens on Earth, and that could describe dozens, if not hundreds, of other sci-fi games, movies, and shows as well.
