I have a question for everyone... why do we only use Marines where's the Army and Navy and all the other armed forces besides North America...

Oh and a couple writing techniques,

1) don't use parenthesis, it just never fits
2) don't use the word 'way' describe how it was better but, dont say it was 'way' better
3) one of the things that i try to do is avoid numbers. don't say there were 32 regiments of marines, or 80,000 covenant ships destroyed because then it becomes just really crazy. i'd never believe that anyone lost 2900 ships in one engagement, or that the remaining 500 fled.

nice start, not bad at all

No one seems to realize that Master Chief is a rank not a name. and we use marines, because well it makes sense, the navy is now in space, and the marines are with the navy as expeditionary forces.

This story is pretty good. Well, as the others said, why not keep some things about the Forerunner more secret then unreveal them to make it more interesting?

Also, one thing I notice, you made a mistake: "We've contacted them, and they identify themselves as the Covenant. They've had a long history with the Covenant."

Well, you should had mean "they identify themselves as the Forerunners"?

Note: If you thought, 'What the hell is this? It looks like it came out of a deceased baboon's ass!' Well...then tell me in the Comments section. This is my first ever Fan Fiction, so please give some constructive criticism. Not only 'This Sucks!' etc.
