Subject: New Covenant! Think of one

Be as imaginative as you want. NOT TO MUCH IMAGINATIVE

I know before you think this is stupid but think of it!
Even if this is before halo:ce think of a extinct race of covenant that everyone forgot.

Pumpkins: Large round and orange Covenant creatures that are dropped from ships. They explode if they aren't defused shortly after they land.

You really don't want that. You'll get some Seusian nightmarish beasts. Things only capable of forming or functioning in Spore.

But if I had to think of a new Covenant, I would want to see a heavily-armoured grunt-sized spiecies. Armour would be natural; they'd be naturally very chitinous. They would always be dual-wielding spike rifles or maulers, and they would be capable of short bursts of speed. They would charge up and attack hard. Not headshot-able, but relatively weak (less health than a Grunt).

Moot, though. Bungie would be tearing their canon apart if they introduced a new Covenant species in a prequel game. They can abide the little canon slips as far as we've seen, but I have faith that they won't cross that line.

I would of think something like a bomber like drones that drop explosives.

It's just too many games have done these all of these things, just switched or changed around to fit in that specific games universe. Example: Half-Life 2, helicopter that dropped bombs into the water; now ideas of aliens dropping bombs from ships (not saying other games have clearly taken this idea and just switched it around a bit).

If we really want those eye-popping moments in Reach like we never had in Halo 3, we gotta think out side of the box, way outside. Think of something never conceived before, something new that would catch you off guard and go "Wow.."

I hate to say it but its the lack of true originality that is causing us to be bored or quickly tired of videogames now-a-days. We need some ideas that go against anything and everything you've seen in other videogames, and something made for Halo: Reach.

I want to see engineers play a role in this story, say them actually repairing covanent vehicles or armor infront of you, or you going into a cave infested with them (like in Halo: ODST) but instead of a banshee you have a rocket launcher, a team of marines, and a couple hundred pissed off flood also in the cave.

Engineers help flood? Dum Dah Dum..
Flood on Reach?...

Plotline. Plotline.
