"Find where the liar hides, so that I may place my boot between his gums!" - Rtas 'Vadum
The Human-Covenant war is the same premise over and over.
Humans are attacked by the Covenant - lots of Humans are slaughtered. A Forerunner mystery is discovered underlying this event, which the Covenant want to acquire but who are later stopped in their tracks by Humanity from achieving this goal. This is usually done through the destruction of said artefacts, e.g. Halo, The Knowing, Line Installation 1-4, Reach Crystal, Latchkey Dig Site etc, etc. We never find out anything about these things before we are swooped off to the next event in the story which follows this same formula.
The religious ass-hattery that are the Covenant and the xenophobia and genocide are only entertaining for a little while before you become jaded.
