Recently i have read alot of theories of people thinking that the covanent will revolt against themselves. The thinking is that because either the grunts/jackals/brutes/elites/ect. will revolt against the prophets. They won't revolt! Why would they revolt it just makes no sense. Sure there might be some uneasieness between a few of the factions, but that wont make them revolt. Why would one of the groups revolt in the middle of a successful camaign? It would be like Canada allying with Germany just as the allies are rolling into Berlin, not really a smart move strategically. Even if one of the factions does revolt for some reason, there are hundreds of Covie ships hovering above earth while a supposed revolt is going on, if there is even a chance the Humans win on the ground on Earth, we get glassed! Revolt or not, we are screwed.

Another reason; the story of Halo is an epic type of story. It is a sort of Hero with his back against the wall, trying to save his people story. I beileve that the MC will win because he and the rest of the humans are better than the Covanent, not because we aren't. You see if it takes the Covanent splitting for us to win then that means we are weaker than the alliance of the whole Covanent. And we are playing a game for crying out loud, the outcome will be detirmined by us and whether or not we can complete a mission. The story won't be decided in a cutscene.

Well if the other species in the Covenant discovered that the Prophets were lying to them, saying that they were decendants of the forruners (that is if humans are decendants of the forrunners) wouldnt you be pis-sed off, enough to revolt against someone who decieved them, and if Elites revolted for instance, the prophets would be fuked, their space ships would practically be undrivable because noone else probably knows how to pilot them. And the major power house of their military is gone. And who cares if they split and humanity wins because they beat them because they are weakened, we wouldnt care about that, OUR species survived, because now we sure arent, we need all the help we can get.

And one more thing WE ARE weaker than the covenant alliance.

[color=lime]I think there will be some kind of revolt. I really don't know what the elites would do. Their entire belief system is held up by one rule: Forrunner and other cove from neighboring planets are descendents of forrunner.

if elites found out they were not descendents, their whole world would go topsy tervy[/color]

Maybe you should read Junes OXM on top of those lengthy theorys. The elites and the brutes are gunna have civil wars. as for elites switching sides, dream on. there too noble.

I don't think they would revolt, the story is based around " us versus them'. It would be weird in my opinion and also become complicated.

  • 07.14.2004 5:06 PM PDT

well if they did, there would be no halo 3...

Well someone made a great point that there will be no halo 3 for one thing if they split. June's OXM says what? What page is that on senior. Even if the other classes find out theyve been lied to, that doesnt automatically assume that they will ally themselves with us. I mean, they have too much pride to use any of our guns! And yes, we are weaker than the Covie alliance, which is why it is a great sort of "hero rises above all odds and saves the day" story.
