First off, I am new and would like to say that I am impressed with both the knowledge posessed by the members of this forum, as well as the etiquette practice- very nice!
I noticed when reading the books that the elites have overwhelming amounts of pride, indicating, as others have suggested, that the young are seduced into thinking war is glorious and to give your life for your leader is honorable. This reminds me of hitlers youth. I am not sure if this is off topic, but I would like to know if the covenant forces are a paid army (compensated, not necessarily money), or if their motivations are stricly religion or fear.

i just cant believe that hunters were enslaved. And they were stronger on the ground too, really thinking about it pisses me off.

GAH.

bungie released a caste social structure article earlier this year....im sure you can still find it on this site....but your question of compensation is a good one.....based on what i read the only things they get for their duties is the thril of the kill and technology.....someone correct me if im wrong

i would describe the covie homeworld as...purple

think about it purple cruisers, purple tanks, purple boxes, purple dropships, purple ghosts, purple banshees, purple, purple PURPLE!!!!!!!!!


Well maybe there armour they use is purple or something and no one has mentioned that the covie homeworld is very.... cold.Hmmmmmm maybe they live in glaciers.

i think compensation varies from caste to caste. elites get honours in their name etc, grunts get breaks. i think the grunt homeworld is cold but not the other castes, especially the jackals considering how they look and must have evolved.

the hunters we're beaten by the elites superiority in space, and we're threatened into extiction by orbital bombardment. the elites couldn't win on the ground (read the official guide)

zamamee is right.....and in the books it also seems as though the covies cant really beat us on the ground either....they usually retreat and glass the planet...im guessin thats what happened to the hunters....maybe one day bungie will release something with more detail about all the individual races...or maybe someone else will and bungie would endorse it......hold on ill be back in 6 hours...im beginning to write! :D

a lot of information about the individual races, including the conquest of the hunters by the covenant is included in the official strategy guide

if you do get one get the pc version as theres more in it, its like a remade xbox one. it has alot of weapon and vehicle information, abit of backstory, and maps of all the mp courses. a little bit of tips from pros and a legendary walkthrough as well as stuff from the developers.

i think all this stuff makes scence Zamamee but (like my name) i was wondering how, if mc goes to the covanent home world, will he get in. at the end of the last book they said that nothing could get in unless it had been inspected and you couldnt sneak in because any thing larger then 1 cm i think would be vaporized instantly

ye and access codes are regularly changed so possible captured ships cannot infiltrate. to be fair i think master chief will be let in if he goes, theres no way otherwise, but for why i don't know. (maybe for negotiations but the covenant will only listen to a capable warrior and not some slobby guy up in the brass. who knows)

[color=gold] that is a way he could get in but dont you think that if he was let in they wouldnt let him ware his armor and he would always be surrounded by burtes and eleits. how would he get out of that mess? [/color]

I was thinking the covenant dont have civilians but the females in their society gaurd their homeworld and make sure everything is going efficiently in their homeworld

The Spartans were the people that had thier society based on war more than the romans and kicked the -blam!- athens ass
