All you people saying the Covenant are imitative, in technology yes, they are imitative, because they know nearly squat about creating new tech, though I still think the Huragok could invent something completely new if they wanted to, the Covenant are most definitely not completely imitative in their strategies however, saying they are would simply be idiotic. There is no way they could win as much as they do if they were entirely imitative in their strategy.
And having the Super Carrier/Corvette(s) slip past the detection systems of Reach is not really a big problem, we don't know everything about the Covenant tech, and Bungie can fix this minor issue quite easily, we just need to either think up our own theories, I've seen quite a few good ones in here, or just wait 'til 343 tells us how it worked.
From what I know of TFoR, haven't read it yet, but I'm hopefully borrowing from a friend today, it doesn't seem like Halo Reach really messed anything up, the only issue I can see is the Pillar of Autumn being on Reach in the game, but again, this is something that can easily be fixed with a little thought invested, and we just wait 'til 343 tells us what the deal is.
It was Ghosts of Oynx, I believe, that proved that Covenant strategy is imitative, not innovative. Fred commented that if a UNSC ship was captured like how the spartans captured AJ, the UNSC would have created new regulations and strategies to ensure it never happened again. The Covenant, however, did NOT change anything. Blue Team was able to capture another Covenant ship in GoO because the Covenant strategies remained the same.
Well like I said, I haven't gotten to read the books yet, got them today. I don't know about that saying anything about whether tactics are imitative or not, I do think however that it points to a severe lack of intelligence or arrogance, or maybe both together :P
