Poll: Should The Covenant Be Able to Surrender in Halo 2?  [closed]
Yes that would be cool if they could surrender.:  17%
(5 Votes)
No, thats dumb if the Covenant could surrender.:  83%
(25 Votes)
Total Votes: 30

I was wondering that who would want the covenant to surrender when they are outnumbered,
only very few of the covenant left, or when only a few of the cowardly grunts left because
Big ol MC and his allys buddies shoot down all of the Bad@$$ Elites, Hunters, even Brutes too, and Jackals. Even the Elites could surrender when only 1 or 2 elites are left or 1 Elite is left and 1 or 2 grunts against 7 or 8 of your allys including you, MC and other Spartan Bad@$$es so the people that want to vote if the covenant should surrender when outnumbered, injured,and etc. So vote for your choice!!

Kamizar what I mean is it is just like Rainbow Six 3 they put the gun down and and put their hands on their head while standing up or kneeling down. Also just like in Socom for the PS2.

Anyways cant you at least picture in you head 1 Elite giving up against 5 human allys of yours 2 other spartan soldiers and MC which is you?! and the Elite is injured anyways in the arm or leg?! Cant you picture that at all?!
I cannot picture a hunter ar Brute doing that though, but an Elite, Jackal, or a Grunt I could picture that Most definitely with a grunt or jackal.
It is like Stronger the alien less the likely of giving up, weaker the alien more the likely of giving up..... Get it.

But in Halo 2 I would not really want a whole lot of Covenant G U. Just once in a while, Every so often, etc.

  • 07.08.2004 4:26 PM PDT

It would be cool for eney enemy to surrunder. I mean think aobut it we wanted the Japanese and Germany to surrendor during WWII. If there is a purely evil enemy that wants to destory earth of course you want them to surrendor. the only thing is they wont. The fight till they die becuase they are also wierdo religus nuts.

The Covenant are known to fight to the last man (or alien I guess), so dont count on them surrendering because it won happen.

Aren't the covenant waging some kind of holy war against you. If they gave up, that would be like them giving up on their gods. I don't they would do that.

I cant believe how badly you just dissed the Elites man! An Elite would NEVER surrender even if they knew they were going to die they'd try to kill as many humans before they died!
Really I'd like to see the opposite, an Elite knows he is going to die so he pulls out a Plasma grenae activates it and runs into a group of Marines grabbing one and hugging him close and taking him and maybe a few other squad members with it! Wont happen I know its just wishful thinking!

Elites are like samurai or somethin, they never give up. Even if the odds are against them they would do what he (above me)said.

Sure they should surrender. They could be made to if human intelligence knew the intracacies of their religion; I'm sure there's proof out there to disprove the Prophets. And besides, if an "affront to the gods" can beat the Covenant forces that badly (disproving the Prophets) I'm fairly sure the Elites would turn suicidal or rebellious and the Grunts would scurry over to our side.

Possibly but have you ever tried to argue religion with a devout Christian/Muslim/Sikh/Buddhist/Hare Krisna??
No matter what you come up with they have a counter arguement, merely the power of their faith! It is almost impossible to try and convince a religious person that there religion is a pack of lies!
(Man this makes me sound real bad! I'd like to point out that I have nothing against religion or the people that choose to believe, but personally I do not. Also I do not think of religion as "a pack of lies" I was only talking about the Covenant not any real life religious movement! And hey you guys get the last laugh, cos if there is a god I'm going to hell for being a non believer! Just to clear that up so I dont get kicked off the forums!)
