Spoilers:

...Perhaps the Humans had their technology before they were De-evolved by the Forerunners? Do you think they would be on par, or perhaps the Humans overwhelm the Covenant?

Also, I'm saying that if the UNSC had their technology, but the Covenant did exist.

I would guess 1 or 2, considering the fact they were able to fight the Forerunners for an extended period of time. They were eventually overwhelmed by the Forerunners.

I think covies would get run over by a train.

EDIT: Surely we would still have Cole, Keyes, ORION and SPARTAN-IIs?

They would of destroyed the Covenant. They fought off the Flood and then eventually fell to the forerunners. They were pretty advanced.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Damn you! Put spoilers on your title.

If humans were able to win at tier 3, then they would destroy the covenant at tier 1.

They would have probably annihilated the Covenant, who struggled with and were dealt severe damage by a Tier 3 civilisation before losing to them. The Humans lasted 50 years on their own at Charum Hakkor against the Forerunner; described as having defences a little less advanced then what the Forerunner used. Plus, Humanity would have had an extra 100'000 years of advancement on top of that.

The Covenant would probably not exist though. If the war had never happened then the San'Shyuum and Humanity would probably still be buddy-buddy. Ironic.

I'm not perverted dude get away from me stalker

Okay so we now have 100000 more tech.

In 10000 we have invented guns, space ships, computers and simple AI.

So now almost 90 times that.

Well, had Humanity not blown ourselves into dust in the intervening years, I believe the correct term would be a "one-sided war".

It'd be like today's world taking on Paleolithic tribes.

Fight to the end, and give it your all.

The Covenant wouldn't even exist, since before humanity was devolved we were in a alliance with the San Shyumm and at a VERY high technological rate, close or equal to the Forerunner's. The Covenant would be DEMOLISHED if they somehow existed and went to war with humanity.

If the humans had the weapons the Prophets gave them, to which the Forerunner had little defense, then the Covies would have been smoked. If humanity didn't have the said weapons, the Covies still would have been smoked.

The Prophet's did not give Humanity their all-powerful weapon's. Humanity developed their own damn weapons. Sure they surely traded and shared information on technology and science, but at one point in Cryptum the Didact stated that he expected humanity to soon betray the San Shyumm with ease.

They developed them together, it was not a silver platter deal. Regardless, it was the combination of the two races technology that caused the Forerunners so much trouble.

I apologize. The rest of you are coming up with very good answers.
