I'm currently watching all of Sadie's Story again for a research paper I need to write based on how ODST helps the modern generation get a small taste of Dante's Inferno (no, I'm not showing how the two are very very similar, because that has been done a millino times before) and I got to Circle 9, Ark 6. In this segment, Virgil has already been taken over by the Engineer; a Covenant species. The Engineer shows a lot of sympathy and feeling for Sadie, wanting her, no needing her to live.Going as far as to say he was very very proud of what Sadie had done. This is clearly a portrayel of human emotions coming from a non-human. The first ever in a Halo game.
Bungie needs to keep these human emotions going into Reach for the Covenant species. Sure we are fighting them, but that doesn't mean they don't feel emotions and have the same problems we do. It doesn't have to be as obvious as ODST made it to be, but it would still be nice to see a small human side to the Covvies.
