Unless it will assist his cause or humanities, in which he would give his life, then no spartans kill all covenant they see as fast as possible

Master chiefs origional mission was to invade covenant space, if halo would have been a little different we could have already been there, but REACH fell and master chief and the autumn were chased down, and were lucky to find halo

Wait for halo 3 for covenant civies, unless you beat the invasion force then go to the covenant half way through the game, but since i dont work at bungie i'm gonna half to wait.............much too long

Civilian COVONANT, not humans, they're purpose is to destroy humanity (besides join in a secret alliance with bungie for world domination), and the only way to stop them is to destroy as many as we can.
P.S. aliens don't have civilians, that's a huaman term, they have unarmed and dangerous, helpless woman and children who would drop you in a second. [color=black]LOL[/color]

A race whose full population is in the military is impossible. A war is between goverments not between civilians. Civilians only hate the enemmy because of propaganda. Besides remember WW2 Christmas eve, the Germans and Allies played soccer in the No Man's Land, yet in the morning the went back to killing each other.

Why would there be Covenant civilians when the prodominint amt. of the game will be played on Earth (and the new Halo's which will soon be found!! ssh its a secret). Anyways the Covenant don't exactly have a "Covenant City" becuase the Covenant are bunch of differnet alien races (from differnet planets) that were strung together to attack Earth in this "Holy War" that was proposed by the Covenant Prophets. Most of the different alien races anyways hate eachother (i.e Elites hating Grunts which was displayed in the 3 Halo novels) and only only male aliens fight so no woman or child would pull out a plasma pistol IF THERE WAS A COVENANT CITY whioch therer isnt. (Plus there is a distinct differnece bwetween female and children aliens so there won't be any confusion between the MC and Marines about who is who...

The Admiral's name is Whitcomb and he kills an engineer beacause he fixes master chiefs shields (improved covenant shields) hence does not want covenant getting shield enhancements.
In the book you do get to go into the bodies of elites and grunts and yes they are pretty good natured in some respects, but you should be cheering for MANKIND we rock.

Everything of the covenants we capture, we improve on it. So dont side with the genocidal
race side with John #17


1. Whitcomb didn't kill the engineer. Lt. Haverson did. They hadn't even resqued Whitcomb when the engineer was killed
2.Haverson regretted killing the engineer. He said that it didn't deserve it, but that is was for the good of the war. Few humans want to just eliminate the Covenant (ie. Srg Johnson). They just want to survive. The Cheif doesn't want to kill the covenant cold blooded, just do his duty.

They may be hermaphrodites, although a grunt did say he had "wife and kid"

I don't beleive Covenant have civilians. They're a caste based society to the nth degree. Caste societies are very fascinating but unless you were up near the top you'd not want to be a participant. We're talking ancient Egypt here, in the time of Moses. Grunts are workers and cannon fodder, Elites are warriors etc. The Grunts are practically slaves, set to toil their entire lives or to be used as cannon fodder.

Being a civilian denotes freedom, the ability to live your life as you will. You have time to yourself to become what you wish to be.

I think this is denied the Covenant. The only non-warrior elites are dead ones. The only Grunts that don't toil endlessly in mines are in the military, gaining comforts but destined only to live very short lives

He is human so he would probably feel remorse or guilt.


I can see that you haven't read any of the Halo books. The MC doesn't care, he just does his duty. And stuff.

I see that you haven't read the books either BadCyborg. The Master Chief does care. He thought long and hard on his decision with Sgt. Johnson's data chip and reluctantly turns it over instead of destroying it.

Sorry for correcting you, but the good Admiral doesn't kill the Engineer, Lt. Haverson does. Maybe perhaps a re-read is in for you my laddy!!! j/k

it's not really important, but he chose the chip that would keep srg. johnson alive, and destroyed the one that would make medical doctors tear him apart. the cheif does care, but he doesn't want to go out and kill all covenant. only if his orders tell him to would he do that, and don't any of you say he wouldn't follow his orders. in FoR, he would have killed HUMAN civilians knowingly, when he was setting up a nuke on Sigma Octacaus, but his orders strictly said not to do it if civis were in the area. the cheif cares, but emotions are second to orders.

Unfortunately not. FoR Pg. 293. "His duty was clear. He reached for the crystal containing the complete files and handed it to Lieutenant Haverson."

The Chief gave up the Crystal showing where Dr. Halsey who her research subject was. It was only after the Unyielding hierphant mission when it was returned to him that he destroyed it. Sgt. Johnson is just sick with luck.

It would be funny to kill covie civillians cause all they could do is run around heplessly, you could just whip them to save ammo. lol

How do we know that the elites grunts huntes etc aren't all females? Or do they even have genders? Also if we are fighting for Earth the last human stronghold how exactly are we supposed to go about attacking a covenant held world?

OK EVERYONE, EXPECIALLY YOU JOHN SPARTAN 17! PLEASE CONTRUCT YOUR SENTENCES CORRECTLY I NOW HAVE A HEADACHE SUE TO YOUR INCORRECT GRAMMAR AND -blam!-E SPELLING! anyway, 1. how do you know we're going to a covie world, for all you know, Earth could be glassed 2. how do you know all the civilians arent already fighting us, there is no mention of female covenant, for all we know they could all be A--blam!- (like Godzilla) and 3. How do you know their society works the same way as ours?

Please in the future think about these kind of things before you go and give your two pence (if its worth that much)

But otherwise, kill all those darned civilians! stop them breeding (unless they're A--blam!-, in which case we'll need the castrator)!
