"Go then, there are other worlds than these."

Hmmm. I'm on the edge.
After seeing the Halo2/3 Elites it could be tough to adapt to that nothing meaning nonsense. Then again it fits the timeline and was cool in 1st game.
It depends, if Covenant could be understood somehow I'd be fine with it. Cortana intercepting their messages? If they're just newly unknown enemies, no. They started to speak english so they could have a story afterall.
Cortana could of course translate important Covenant communications, relevant to the story, just like she did at that one holo-terminal of the Prophets speech in Halo 2.
But for in-game battles, I felt having the Elites speech being like it was in Halo: Combat Evolved would be fun again and would keep with established continuity.
Trying to figure out what the different sayings meant added to the fun. Once I figured out that "Wort, Wort, Wort!" meant the Elite was ordering the troops (grunts and jackals) to advance (it's what "Go, Go, Go!" sounds like when reversed) I knew when I heard it, while trying to be sneaky, that I'd been spotted.
