Subject: Can Reach show the real evil of the covenant ?

This has probably been posted before but the Reach forum is a giant idea thread so forgive me. I have read all the halo books and it just seems that Bungie in all it's glory hasn't shown the way the covenant act towards humans. I can recall in one of the books the chief remembers seeing a group of humans men woman and children being rounded up and eat tin alive by grunts and jackals. That's dark but it's what covenant do to humans and up till know in halo games all grunts do is call out names and run in fear after the leader of the group in killed, but in canon they run at you in wave after wave trying there hardest to get you and if possible eat you with razor sharp teeth. I'm just trying to say that the covenant are the worst thing to happen to humanity (excuse the flood) and i hope Reach portrays them in that light making you hate them to.

Well the covenant its self isnt evil their blinded by relegion. (Cult) Its the leader that ios evil.


But i agree we should see the covenant killing civilians. Slaughtering marines with more cruelness. LAstly would be nice to see a human planet glassed.

Well if The fall of Reach novel is anything to go by then yes, I think Halo: Reach will show a much more darker side to the covenant, for the pure fact that you are propably going to see an entire planet get glassed.

That would be cool, but wierd seeing grunts run at you trying to eat you.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Hopefully. I'd like the full brutality of the Covenant illustrated in Halo: Reach. Watch an Elite tear through marines with a war cry. Hunters stomping downed soldiers. An Elite being weaponless and beating a soldier with his bare hands. I want the Covenant to be actually scary! Threatening even! Right now they're just things in shiny armour shooting shiny things at me.

Just like George Carlin (R.I.P.) he speaks the truth.
