ahh, you've over looked a very simple conclusions... the covenant is extremely based on the higher ranks and the orders that come from the "top"... so to take out their command structure would throw them into dissaray.... how might we do this? simple kill the prophets
Yeah, good luck with that *SPOILERS*
It says in the book that near the Covenant homeworl, not a single rock can be in the space over a centimeter in width/ length without it being identified, targeted and vaporized, by the hundreds of Covie ships orbiting, the access codes are changed hourly and if you pause for a second with the correct codes, then you will be vaporized. Even if you could get past the ships and ono the ground, there are tons of defensive structures and Elites/Brutes guarding the place. It said that the Prophet of Truth or something had 300 Guards guarding him THREE-HUNDRED! Take into account that they were most likely all brutes, or a high portion at least, and a brute is as fast as MC, STRONGER than MC in his MJOLNIR suit, can take a FULL clip of Battle Rifle bullets without slowing down and have grenade launchers.
Sounds simple enough.... [/sarcasm]
