According to a Fortunte that Xbox Nation recieved:


Perhaps the Covenant will ally itself with someone or something else. Also, there will be an alliance broken. You need to have played the original game in order to really enjoy this one. They've built in something for those who have played the original.


What alliance do you believe will break, and who or what do you believe the Covenant will partner with?

Personally, I think the Elites are going to break off. I simply do not see any other alliance breakings.

But that is just me. [color=white]What do you see?[/color]

[color=red]Side Note: If you think this is a load of bull, then ignore it. But, pretend this psychic is actually right on this and give in your thoughts/theories.[/color]

I assume that the hunters are gonna go. The hunters are only there cause they got enslaved (pretty much) by the covenant. At least, somebody who actually read the books told me that.

it'd be interesting to see a covenant civil war. i think whoever is with the hunters would win, cos they're (supposedly) the best at fighting (on the ground) in the whole covenant. and i suppose elites too...

i dont like brutes. i think they're rubbish looking things.

maybe the strain on the empire will be too much and all the enslaved races turn against the original ones

ye, but i don't know if brutes we're a founding species or not and many believe engineers to be a founder too, though theres no evidence for this

I can only see it being the Hunters (because they don't follow the Covenant Religion) or the Grunts rebel because of the cruelty they have recieved.

i don't know, only elites and brutes respect the holyness of the prophets, the others just follow orders and maybe don't care so long as they get to kill some humans

It won't be the Elites or Brutes as they are highly Religious followers of the Prophets. It might not even be true though?!

That guys' a gamecuber. I don't think he really understands what he's talking about. He couldn't even fathom the wealth of information he's missing in making that prediction in Halo 2. Word to the wise, take what he says with a grain of salt. A lot of salt.

I can definetly see the Elites breaking away from the rest of the covies.....if you read the books they seem to have a hidden hatred towards the prophets....but like bungie released earlier they are too damn dependent on the technology.....and the guy who talked about the grunts breaking away.....its a good theory but it wouldnt happen....they are too damn helpless.....i mean honestly.....it would take like 200 grunts to take out an Elite (a lil exaggerated) but remember this information is from a physic.....dont believe a damn thing till bungie says so!

People, i've read ALL the books twice and there's no mention of a hidden hatred towards the Prophets from the Elites, The Prophet of Truth at the end of First Strike has a 300-strong Elite guard.

the only hidden hatred there would be would be jealousy because most prophets are much higher than them

jay....you must be following me....now let me help you out here as well......read my post again.....i never said that the books mentioned it....but have you ever heard of reading between the lines.....go through and look at some of the interactions between the two races....and just because the prophet has a guard of 300 elites doesnt mean they like them....it means they are doing their job

But i think the Elites are too Religious to do anything. Fair point though, and you seem to be following me you mean!!!

If anyone broke off it would be a small group of Covenant underneath the command of the Prophet of Regret (real Halo 2 character, thanks to Littlebigman for finding the Halo 2 voice cast listing before it was removed from the internet).

They would make temporary peace with the UNSC and then help us ward off not only other Covenant, but the Flood, 343 Guilty Spark, and a totally different Monitor with his sentinels.

The Elites, while being the most human-like, aren't gonna break off. They are what leads the Grunts and Jackals and Hunters. If the Elites leave, what will MC be stuck fighting? Grunts and Jackals. They aren't smart, and are cowardly. They wouldn't even pose a fight for the humans. I think it will probably be Brutes.

And why are we only thinking that Covies will split? Humans are just as capable of going over to the Covenant. I can totally see the Spartans getting sold out by a bunch of rebel humans, who are providing secret intel to the Covie.

Former Comrade to all except most......

Right the elites wouldnt break off ne way because they are the co founders of the covenant the only covenant i can see truly breaking away is the hunter, because they dont actually belong to the covenant religeon.

I can see the humans splitting as well...but you seem to forget something....the covies want to kill ALL humans...so i highly doubt that the covies would even think about siding w/ a facton of the humans.....but the guy that brought up the prophet of regret......thats something new and intriguing....do you have any way of gettin that link again..or is it toast for good?

Hey Hawkeye707 guess what?

We fought for 27 years against nothing but Grunts and Jackals and they kicked our ass at every turn. It wasn't until 2552 in July I think it was that we first ran across Hunters and Elites on August 30th of the same year at the Fall of Reach. Which took place a just a short while before the Halo Campaign. Also the war is more based around Legendary mode, not normal as some fools think (war is not that easy and humans can't take that much plasma on anything below legendary) So you're wrong there.

As for someone selling us out......I can see it, especially from Colonel Ackerson.

And that link on the Prophet of Regret is toast. Sorry.

no biggie...and the elites would break off except for their dependecy of the technology given to them.....also...ackerson would sell the humans out in a heartbeat...but think about the most obvious point...what covie would even talk to a human unless it was to interogate
