Frkie said that the Covenant will not be in Halo 4. The Covenant are finished.
Just because they won't be in Halo 4 does not meant that they will not be in the whole trilogy, and where/when exactly did Frankie specifically state that the Covenant would with absolute certainty not be included in Halo 4?
And honestly, it's not our place to say whether a certain character or race's role in a story is over, that remains to be seen whether it is true or not, personally I don't think that the UNSC and Covenant will be left out of the new trilogy.
Ah, ah the girl strikes again, eh?
Let me explain something to you.
There is a reason or more, that Covenant won't be appearing is that there is no Covenant after Halo 3, it was collapsed during Elites and Brutes started the civil war in Halo 2. As the war progressed to the end, Covenant was effectively dissolved. There is no San'Shyuum left (most of them went to hiding) to lead the covenant. Sangheilis and Jiralhanae are still waging war at each other. Remaining of Covenant basically went to home. Sure, some have joined the Elites because of their leadership but it does not matter. Other reason would be is that Legendary planet is "unknown" planet where NOBODY knows where it is.
UNSC are busy with recovering their losses after the war. Common logic states that it will take very long time for UNSC to recover fully after 27 years of war. Also, Encyclopedia stated that Master Chief is still missing after 2610s.
So it is highly unlikely that so called "Covenant", why not call it remanments of Covenant and UNSC will appear at Halo 4...
I'm not talking about the Covenant as the organization. Whenever I talk about "Covenant" in the context of Halo 4 or that trilogy I am referring to the many species that make up the Covenant.
Actually, as far as I have seen at least, no references have been made to any of the Covenant races except the Brutes, Elites, and a brief mention of the Covenant Prophets either dying out or simply going into hiding somewhere. I think it far more likely that the remaining Grunts, Drones, and Hunters remained either or both of the two warring Covenant factions than going home.
I think you're underestimating the speed of their recovery. From what I've heard about Glasslands it sounds to me like they're still pretty strong after the war, and then there's the whole Human ships based off of Forerunner design on Reach at the end of the epilogue to the game. And so what if it's implied that Chief is still missing well into the 27th Century? Implication doesn't mean too much, implication is not concrete fact, and works that come later in a series often either completely ignore the implication because it was a red herring to throw the fans off the track, or the writers felt it was something that wouldn't make sense. I have been entertaining the possibility that the implication is true, but I will maintain a heavy amount of skepticism until Halo 5 and 6 come out.
When did I mention them appearing in Halo 4? I'm in agreement with most other people when they say they won't appear in that game, though I don't think it's absolute fact that they won't appear. It is highly likely that they won't be in Halo 4 and I would be pleasantly surprised if they did appear in that game.
I was talking about the other two games in Halo 4's trilogy, Halo 5 and 6, it is very, very, very likely that the UNSC and Covenant will play some form of role in either or both of those games.
And what makes you think that Chief will stay at the Legendary Planet for the entire trilogy? The UNSC or Covenant finding it are slim to none, but what makes you think that CHief can't or won't ever leave it over the course of the trilogy? Also, just because it is in an unknown location does not mean that it can't be somehow found, no matter how slim the chances are or impossible it might seem it can still be discovered.
