Subject: Possible evidence of the Covenant in Halo 4?

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

I know that this is simple, but it could mean something or nothing.

On the Halo 4 logo, you can clearly see the Hexagonal pattern.
This pattern is ONLY seen in the Halo series on Covenant weapons, armor, vehicles, etc. This is more noticeable in Reach but can be noticed throughout the whole series.
Forerunner tech is never seen with this pattern.
Now notice the Purplish/blue color to the logo. This is also seen with the Covenant. Forerunner tech is mostly grey with some blue.

Could this mark a new Covenant? Maybe the Stoics actually survived and decided to use Forerunner tech? Or maybe they're warriors and not the lazy old farts we see in the trilogy?

I doubt it. It is just not a big enough detail to suggest anything specific.

it's something small, but I figured it was worth posting it up

I'm willing to accept anything that points toward them being in Halo 4. Great observation.
If you actually end up being correct, then this indicates the Covenant play a large role in the game if their pattern made it onto the logo.

You figure anything is worth posting... Noble Team wearing socks would be of paramount importance for you to post had you found the slightest clue pointing toward it...

So true....Look at the bandolier thread or the retcon thread. No discussion to be had there other than 'hey look at this, it's a thing'.

On topic, the pattern could be more representative of Forerunner shield tech. The concept of a bubble shield was first introduced in Halo 3 (with an earlier iteration in Reach) as ONI tech. Ultimately it seems as though that concept was, like with the Mk V shields, reverse engineered by the Covenant's own bubble shield technology which was shown in Halo Wars. Following the logic train, it is extremely likely then, that the design of the shield is ultimately that of Forerunner design. Imitative not innovative...the Covenant's theme... That said, perhaps the detail alludes more to a Forerunner concept rather than the Covenant, perhaps a play on the concept of a Shield World or other Forerunner shield concepts.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

Well, since Covie tech is basically Forerunner tech that was imitated, I'm pretty sure it just means that we "might" have Forerunners in the game. Which would be cool.

While this is true, so is he when he refers to Covie tech bearing this pattern. Go play Reach and look and a Wraith closely, you will see it covered in the same pattern. Even on the weapons and armor this can be seen.

so the covenant are the only race allowed to use geometric patterns?


Spartan II armor is normally green therefore every green uniform in the military must be a spartan.

Logic fail of stating 1 thing applies to one race. people tried doing that with "elites never picking up human weapons" and that didn't work" same with all the forerunners being "angelic" just because Didact and his wife were nice.

True, but the species of the Covenant still exist, and are most likely using Covenant technology still. The pattern could be a hint at returning species and technology.

Its hard to make any speculations on what this ship is....My thoughts are that as Arbiter was on his way back to his planet (as we all know from the end of halo 3).... he encountered something not pretty along his way home. Arbiter then summoned or my thoughts went back to the ship wreck and brought chief abroad his ship to go over what just took place..and how they can fix it... but idk that is kinda what im thinking right now.. whitch to me sounds possible

So the broken remnants of the individual species of the Covenant managed to keep their equipment in working order and managed to find this mysterious planet Mendicant Bias sent Chief. That's ridiculous.

343i said there will be no Covenant in Halo 4.

i am not shawn from youtube, I created this username because I thought it was an unique name but if I could change it I would since it did not belong to me originally

But that can't be possible, the covenant has been wiped out by the end of Halo 3, unless you are indicating that the Elites will be in Halo 4 (that' s a big maybe)

Whether or not the "Patterns" or "Shapes" come into play isnt the question. The remnants of the Covenant still exist, high Charity is infected by the flood ... but all of the covenant species besides the Elites are still under the same banner. Signs also point to the fact of the chiefs ship heading to a planet like object, this object could be a forerunner planet, or quite possibly high charity ?

can somebody please tell me where all of you are getting the idea that there are still covenant followers? i want links because i have read the exact opposite.

And you just said high charity is gone so how could it be high charity? didn't you see it get destroyed? don't you know the ark was destroyed?

And the planet is forerunner, everybody should know this by now
