Now, This may be somewhat off topic. I was just curious though, in any of the novels, does it state where all the standard Covenant technology comes from? What race created the energy shields, and made the standardized energy weapons that they all used? I wouldn't think that all the races ended up developing the exact same technologies on their own.

As a side note, glad to see this topic is going strong. May it live longer than a gold Elite on legendary being attacked by a grunt with a depleted plasma pistol.

Maybe people should save the BLAMs all together. Noo-...Seeing as i'd prefer not to be executed by ninja, I'll say "New people". New people gotta learn somehow, right? If they say something you know to be incorrect, try correcting them. Not yelling at 'em. That's just my opinion, by the way. If you still wish to flame and yell at people, by all means, go for it. I just won't join in.


that's what i ment there are some mad angry abused people out there i don't wan't anyone to get hert.

WOW!
i just got an idea on the new "race" i think it's i different kind of sentinal. since the ones in H1 are realy weak even on legendary it might be some hard-core fighting hi-tech robot that could be a little more than just big floaty-things the flood looks at while you show the your shiny new shotgun. sound interesting?

P.S. if any one from bugie studios is reading the ongoing coversation, please tell us if we are getting a little close. PLEEEEEEEEEEESE.

I think you've all forgotton one big race

THE FLOOD!

I believe they are an important factor in halo 2 in defeating or making a truce with the covenant. There are also more than one halo out there, possibly with Flood locked up waiting to get out, if the Chief went to another halo and use the flood as a weapon against the covenant or force a truce :)

The flood have their own history and their history with the covenant is also clouded in mystery as well.

You don't need to just blow the bastards up after they destroy the covenant...just make sure you don't miss a piece of them...that would suck

As posted before, 'Who has the power to lock up the Flood?' The Forerunner(s) did and I'm sure that they are not extict so they'll do it again. Also..Kudos to whoever posted that reply about not blamming the n00bs here...we need to learn too..take us under your wing and let us experience the world of HALO as you all do!

The danger of using the flood against the covenant is that you can't control the floods actions. If the flood takes out the covies, then they'll use covie vessels to go after humans. Last thing you wanna give the flood is a huge and powerful armada to kick our asses with.

..... Why restate the OPENING post of this thread? Everyone else has probably read it (because its the OPENING post) If it is "blah blah blah" to you, then don't post on it. Or, if you think its "blah blah blah," and find it necessary to post that, then don't restate the whole fricking OPENING post! What's your problem! It started a 13+ page thread, didn't it?!

And Hamster, some people find this sort of topic fun to discuss.

once again not to be meen, but you are wrong, i dont care if ne one out there says that my opinion, but you idea was wrong. you say that hunters were expiraments, with flood and other species... well one major factor, the covies didnt know about the flood until later in the game (and books) and you encounter the hunters before that... well that sure as h*ll doesn't make sence. (not meening to be rude, but i had to be blunt about it)


Well, I see you really tore up my first post. I do appriciate your not being rude about it, or at least not trying to be rude.

Call me crazy, but I think that Hunters might have been the last of the covenant to be assimilated into their society. For one, they are described as being somewhat resentful to the other races, and not "hardcore" when it comes to the Covenant religion.

I also read, that the Prophets established an alliance with the Elites and that's what started the Covenant. Prophets handle the political jargan, and Elites handle the defense and war.

This still makes me believe that Brutes are hired Covenant zealots protecting the prophets. And this makes the Elites jealous or insulted.

Grunts and Jackals seem to bicker between themselves as to who is higher than the other. Sense they are both at the bottom of the food chain so to speak. Grunts, were described also to be obediant and stupid. Doing the most dangerous jobs of the Covenant military.

The only way I can describe that (even to myself) is like suicide missions. Jackals are merely more intellectual than the Grunts. Or more skilled in combat . . . whichever.

EDIT: Ack, Helba we posted nearly the same idea.


You know, thinking about it, you could be right about the Elites. Perhaps it was a blow to their honor to have somebody else take the job. They are supposedly a very proud and warrior like race. Having someone else come to..."Assist" them, might have given them the impression that the prophets thought they were inadequate.

This is a bit off subject, but you have some good theories in your head, zAMMSTEIN.


Thanks, Justesp. But we all won't know until Halo 2 comes out. Then may the truth be told!

Still, I would like to know if there are any more races besides the Brutes and Prophets that will be showing up. It could change the heirarchy a little bit. Or, if there was a factor that we don't know as of yet.

About the Brutes....... Sry if it has already been said, but they are the religous warriors of the covenant.... alien crusaders..... haven't seen them before because we never really saw a covenant religous center before first strike did we?

ok...

1:Justesp, the halo release date has been out for a while now... no need to go around telling everyone, especialy in a post that has nutin to do about that :P
2:Halo dude man, ? what was that all about, and im sure there are many ppl out there that could beet you.
3:INfraboy, no one has forgoten about the flood, we know they will be back and will play a mojor part in the war, thnx for bringing that up to remind the rest of us
4:Giz... the forrunner... lol duh
5: and fuinaly just to correct your post bob iv, i was the one who made that post you quoted, not zAMMSTEIN, look on page 12 last post... see it was mine >.<

now... does ne one out there think it is possible that the elites could defect from the covies? i know it sounds completely poposterous, but as you know they are very blood thirsty, and if they switch side, there would be more to kill, more honor. and they would have many reasons to defect, 1 the brute now take a role, which adgitates the elites very much, 2 it was said that the elites were getting "fed up" with the prohpets and all of the things that they are making them do. and i am not saying that when you start they are allied with you (we all saw the E3 and at the end there were those elites) but maybe ilater in the game the might? perhaps? ne ideas?
