I doubt he's on the homeworld. Remember the giant robot thing that came out of the sand in the initial trailer? Doesn't seem to be Covenant, or likely to be ignored by the Covenant.

It's entirely possible he's on different planets at different points in the game. Remember how he wasn't wearing all of his armour? In the above image, he is. It could be before he leaves or something.

Edited by Tilted the Wolf: 5/16/2014 7:19:05 PMThe buildings on the right of the image, the desert, and the robot suggest to me that he is on a newly colonized world. Not just-landed new, but definitely colonized as erosion doesn't make perfect spheres. He protects the colonists while they keep him fed and hidden. Eventually, ONI finds out and sends in their dude. Edit: The planet image finally loaded up for me. I'd still say colonized, though I am not an expert in Sanghelli architecture to say it's indisputablely human.

I definitely wouldn't say it's human. From Halo: Legends, we were able to see some of their architecture, but not much. I think John would go to Thel in desperation. He's literally lost everything but his old ally, it makes sense.

I won't argue the species living there as I am not an expert, and also somewhat neutral in that regard. I still doubt he's on the gnomeworld of the Elites, as they'd probably shoot him on sight. Thel could have buggered off to avoid political strife, rife with armed conflict.
