I think a cool twist mid-game would be if MC had to side with the covenant for a few levels to save both their butts against a common enemy until he escaped and they would go back to fighting as usual. It would be fun to see elites and other covenant fighting along side you for a short time.

It would be cool but you can see that in the multiplayer. And that would be unrealistic because the Covenant would never side with humans no matter what the circumstances.

Yeah if there's ever scenes of MC and Covies fighting something other than each other it'll be completely coincidental, like when Covies are fighting Flood in Halo, wait for em to tear each other apart or take em all out yerself.

There is supposed to be a real big twist. I personally think that a covenant-human alliance would be real good (but i wont mind). I can only imagine what marines and grunts will say to each other "They look like turtles!", and Johnson say to elites "You aint all that pal...".

But if it did happen there would have to be an enemy bigger than both of them, and more threatening than the first Flood... Pissed of Forerunner ("What the hell have you done to our universe!???"), or organised Flood ("BlllllaerghahhhHH!").

Of course theres the mentioned possibility of the covenant breaking up with prophets, brutes and jackals vs elites, hunters and grunts. Schweeeeeee!!!!!

The covenant and humans will NEVER ally. It is explained that the covenants hatred for humankind is down to religion, and faith, and the covenant would never put their survival before their beliefs. Many in history have died for their beliefs, and I believe that the covenant are so fanatical in their religious hatred of Humankind that they would rather be killed by the flood, or the brutes, or whatever than join forces with the humans.

perhaps the prophets and the elites believe fanatically. but i read another thread where they discussed grunts and how grunts have a prophecy that one day a "hero" (HINT) would rise up and free them from slavery (the Covenant). And that hunters are slaves too, and that they believe in their own beliefs. Or summat like that. The thread must be buried deep within the messageboard now.

If only there was a search function!!!

Oh sorry, yes I see your point. The grunts and hunters rising up, possibly. That would be most intriguing, and would also add a richness to the storyline. Also, biblical references abound there. Im thinking Moses......

When i found out that the hunters are slaves i couldnt believe it!! It seems crazy that the biggest, strongest (of what we've seen) covenant was bombed into submission. It almost made me angry!!

But yeah theres been quite a bit of talk over the last few months of an uprising, though most people agreed that the hunters would side with elites (as they only respect elites). Who knows who grunts would go with? the side they think is strongest presumably.

Ohh I dunno

Grunts would do anything to get out of being killed and grunts can be quite powerful. Like in Halo:The Flood Yayap turned on Zamazee(I think thats its name, read it awhile ago) alot, Yayap nearly killed the elite

Very small(by that I mean miniscule) alliences have been made with grunts aswell, remember The food nipple grunt :)

I think it would be a bit cliche to see covenant of any race ally up with the humans. I just think it would be awesome to walk in on a fire fight between elites and brutes and just sit and the sidelines with some popcorn and watch the both blow each other to pieces. =)

I don't see why a Human-Covenant alliance is so unlikely. You can even make a small alliance in the game. In the level 'Keyes', there's a part where an elite is in a stationary gun. If you run right past him and start killing the flood, he kills the flood instead of you. Once the flood are dead, he won't shoot you, you're his ally.

So maybe, if both Humans and Covenant face destruction from a much stronger race in Halo 2, they may ally.

Maybe some renegade factions of various species, but never an entire race.

Now, just to be funny, I would like to see the master chief, with his normal armor on. And then he gets some glue, and a dead elite. He rips off some of the covenant armor, and well, you know the rest.

Well, what would there (if at all) be the circumstances that would make an alliance possible?

Covie civil war?

Flood?

Forerunners?

Yeah I get what your saying but what I heard about the profets is that they only play religious and political role in the game and although we (or at least I) don't know much about them it could be possible that they would make a fake prophecy to safe their own covenant buts. But hey that's just a theory.
Later
B.t.w. does anybody know which weapon the Brute is holding on the Render here on Bungie.net?

u can see that the hunters and the grunts have differant bloods 2 the elites and the jackals. the possibility of the covanat having a major brake down is a most likly possibility. soz i (cant spell well) i think the forrunners will come 2 earth 2 attack them 4 wat they did 2 there halo.

the covenant believe that the forerunners are their gods... what if the prophets, and the propehts only team up with the forerunners, and elites, grunts, jackals and hunters team up with human? The brutes dont team up becuz they are the prophets guard. but it could also be that the hunters join the humans, cuz they were threatened by the elites and prophets.

I hope there is no alliance with the Covenant, but with another species instead that actually helps you fight the Covenant. Would be kind of cool wouldn't it?

the covanant would not ally wit humans becuase of the flood. look at halo was thier an alliance? no, so thier will be no alliance in halo2 because of the flood.

it was mass hell on halo when the flood was realesed they didnt have time to make an alliance before the whole thing hit the fan.
