You're an angry man, do you know that? Maybe you can try to be open to speculation instead of railing on like-minded fans just because you think that you know what direction Halo 4 is taking and what the story will be.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize the majority of the fanbase wants to turn Halo into a Michael Bay production where story is sacrificed for things that are just "cool". There's tons of speculation going on here beyond just wanting it to be cool. There's a million places the storyline could go, don't pretend like the only reason Covenant presence would exist is because it's cool. Just chill and quit shooting people down, man.
You're plea falls on deaf ears. The story could go anyway I'll admit that. However, it doesn't need the Covenant in any of them. The individual races ceased communication. The Prophets are dying off, the Elites and Brutes are fighting with the Elites holding the edge it seems, and every other race lacked the faith of the Great Journey.
If that mysterious planet was a specimen lab like the Line Installation 1-4, the only surviving species would be Prophets, Elites and Brutes. And what would they add to the story? A small scale continuation of the civil war between Brutes and Elites with the Prophets scheming in the background?
What garbage. I was thinking more along the lines of species appearances. Like brutes and jackals not tied under the Covenant banner but causing conflict all over the place for whatever reason. The Elites especially are hugely important to the Halo universe, they could be doing any number of things, the Arbiter most of all. I'd be shocked if they went without appearance or mention.
That's why the books exist, they are telling us the post-Halo 3 story without the Chief, the games follow the Chief.
