You could betray your team, but like what happens when you kill the marines, the Covenant would just turn against you. Besides, you would lose campaign scoring, and some people would want to play as the Covenant just for the sake of the fun.
And you don't always play at a disadvantage, you have one major advantage: you could spawn as something as lowly as a Grunt with a plasma pistol, or something as high as a Hunter (or something equal like a Brute or Elite!). Either way, they don't know which one you are and will be very surprised when that little Grunt shoots an overcharge blast at them at just the wrong time. You can use characters in unconventional ways, like using the flying advantage of a drone to get behind unsuspecting players.
Also, playing at a disadvantage adds to the fun, and the more disadvantaged you are the more likely you are to die and become a Spartan anyways, and rotate to allow some one else to become one of the opposition.
And about your "creepy internet friends", this obviously would be a custom game type thing, so it would mostly be played with your friends at your house or with people you know pretty well over the internet.
