Well, Frankie's text goes to the trouble to illustrate tensions between Covenant races at every turn-- amongst Grunts and Jackals, between Elites and Prophets and Engineers, between Hunters and everyone else.
Yes, in Marathon, your task became to liberate the S'pht from the Pfhor, and at times in Myth different factions of Dark armies would fight each other, much as we saw three-way battles in Halo, between Flood, Covenant, and Sentinels.
I've personally always thought that someone at Bungie was deeply influenced by the Battle Of Five Armies chapter of the Hobbit when they were I child; I know I was :)
However, with regards to Halo 2, I think to some extent the only reason to put together a Covenant is so you can unravel it.. so I won't be surprised if that happens in Halo 2 and we get to witness it, or even participate in it.
