Subject: Covenant and UNSC,fight back together

I always offer fair game and usually allow some "extermination" of my teammates. I think that anyone should be able to play Halo or any other game they please.

Why don't the Covenant team up with you to fight the flood? Why fight you and the flood?

Oh this is easy. Why would the US or Russia nuke the world to complete death in the cold war?

Because they knew they'd have been seen as the winner.

What happens though? Good guys always win. Master Chief was a pretty good guy.

Religious zealotry my freind, that is why they do not team up in CE. To the Covenant, the flood and the humans are equally the same, just another obstacle to be overcome in their Great Journey. All other species are lesser and not worthy of being left alive if they get in the way of activating Halo and moving them on their path. It is the same thing with Islamofascists, since we are not believers we are just not to be tolerated, and hence we are the enemy, and hence we are to be wiped out. Keep that in mind when you go vote this year!

The Covenant are trying to wipe the humans out of existence. The Flood can be cleansed. If you were Al-Qaeda, would you team up with the U.S. to "cleanse" India?

It's because the prophets of Truth,Mercy,And Regret found out that only Humans were meant to be the succesors to the Forerunners,so the prophets declare war on Humanity(to wipe us out) because if the covenant found out they were not meant for the Great Journey and that Humans were and that Halo(s) were actually weapons the Covenant would fall apart(the Elites are an example)and the prophets would be (I'm pretty sure at least)excecuted.

Try reading Halo:Contact Harvest!

...and because the prophets don't seem to care about the Flood for some reason...

That reason is that they're part flood genetic aren't they, which explains their reallllly long lives?

Basically, as said before, the Covenant dispise the humans, so they'd rather die than join them, until they find out that their prophets decieved them, then the Elites like us..sorta..But when your at war for about 30 years..you tend to hate your enimy and just hope they die..
although, there is an instance, i think, in Halo: The Flood where the humans and Covenant fight the flood off together, but as soon as the flood are gone, they went back to killing each other..

True, but, the Sangheili and some Unngoy and Lekgolo started a Civil War with the Arbiter against the Prophets and the Brutes, due to the Prophets Zealotry and the lies they've been feeding to their people, the Elites, Grunts, Hunters want to get rid of the Flood fast as possible.
