It's all crazy, It's all false, It's all a dream, It's alright

Bring on the same side of a war means that your point of view in that war is the same, no matter which part of Reach you visit the underlying story will be "Covenant! Kill them! Defend Reach!"
Whereas if you switch over to the Covenant Perspective, the war completely changes, you are taking the planet for a few possible reasons, most of them religious or based around a Holy Mission. AND we get to see more of the Covenant, which let's face it, we still don't know NEARLY enough about. (Flawed or not, the Halo Encyclopedia only dedicated around 50 pages to the Covenant, 10 to the Flood, and 40 to the Forerunner, leaving around 200+pages ALL UNSC.)
Ok, now I understand what you mean, & I can not say much more about this without just saying what I have just stated before, or turning it into a argument about which is better.
But It wouldn't be the same story, & it wouldn't have the same feel to it, Being a Marine & being a Spartan would be a lot different when being in a war.
Although I would love a Covenant, you still cannot call this idea retarded.
