We'd be the Grunts' b*tches.


Straight up.

Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of Murphy's Laws on the StarShip Enterprise

We'd mainly be tactical support, and scientists, due to our status as reclaimer. Due to this, we could command the sentinels, and much of the covenant tech better than the prophets. Also, if we created more spartans, then as they got more used to their augmentations, they'd get better at fighting. However, we'd probably get screwed, due to our innate ability to fight over anything that makes us different, for example politics or the UNSC-Insurrection war that was starting during the 2500's.

also Im dieing to know what kind of armor the covenant would give us, and would we use the energy swords? would we have our own special weapon?


We'd probably continue to use our own technology. The covenant doesn't give many treats to the newcomers (grunts for example), except plasma weaponry.

Assuming the Pre-Halo 2 hierarchy
(Grunts, Jackals, Drones, Brutes, Elites)
We'd probably fit in somewhere on parr with the Brutes. Probably be deployed under command of the Elites, in my opinion.

Due to the fact that humans are reclaimers, we would be very high ranked,and get the best equipment,sadly their would be nothing to fight though.

-_- mojeda...with covenant tech we could make a far more advanced spartan capable of being stronger than a brute due to the fact the covenant have some forerunner technology. With the advanced technology all combat suits would become fully upgraded and more advanced with exoskeletons and all the other good stuff. The average marine would be stronger than a grunt, the odsts would be maybe 1/3 the strength of elites, and the spartans forget it. We would reverse engineer the covenant technology and implement the technology into the military to increase physical strength, edurance, reaction times, and argumentations for spartans.
Question. What would we need it for? Who would be fighting? Ever thought of that? Sentinels? Covenant do that well on their own.


Uh the flood?

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

I'm detecting a lot of bias.

OT: Around the jackals or brutes. Nothing more.

would we replace the elites due to our superior tactics and sheer might?


lol

just lol

Around grunts or jackals a marine vs jackal is a pretty even fight.

What would our role be? would we replace the elites due to our superior tactics and sheer might? would we be politicians? I have to say I wanna know what armor the covenant would make for us I bet it would look sick.
lolno Elites are brilliant when it comes to battle strategy. We would replace grunts, while the grunts would get a promotion.

Energy Swords are Sangheili weapons. We wouldn't get to use 'em.

Why do you think the Covenant would provide a better battleskin? The UNSC MJOLNIR and shielding is already better than the Covenant counterpart, there is no improving off the Covenant since their's aren't even better then the UNSC variants to begin with!

We probably wouldn't be soldiers in the Covenant at all, infact we may fulfill a role similar to the San'Shyuum due to Humanity's status as Reclaimers. Knowing how overzealous the Covenant is I doubt they would sacrifice the closest living link to there Gods.

Also the only advantage we have over the Elites tactically is were not bound to a code of honor as they are. They can be lured into traps easily by that.


If humans were inducted into the Covenant, it's likely that the Prophets would've kept the fact that humans are Reclaimers secret anyway. People need to realize this.

All those saying the Sangheili/any other Covenant species are more intelligent than humanity are deluding themselves. All the Sangheili's technology? Derived from Forerunner technology.

They never developed impulse drives themselves, never created their own weaponry -- I'd honestly be surprised if they even had advanced mathematics.

We created everything from scratch. Consider how longer the Covenant has been in existence. What is it, 5000 years? They've had space-travel all that time.

We've had it 300 years in the Haloverse and already nearly match the Covenant's technology off our own bat.

Humanity is the most intelligent race in the Halo universe, in my opinion.

The lekgolo are on the same tier pre-covenant as the humans are, the brutes wouldn't be too bad off if they could stop fighting, don't forget the engineers.

The Lekgolo are just a hive-mind though, and probably used Forerunner technology at some point. I suppose the Jiralhanae have the capacity to be as intelligent, but their primal nature makes that impossible.

Engineers are a remnant of Forerunner society... Forerunners, Precursors and such are obviously more intelligent than humanity right now, but I think out of all the 'current' races, humanity is the most intelligent.

And that's even after we were devolved by the Forerunners.

I don't see why being a Hive mind removes the lekgolo from being just as smart as the humans, not to mention they couldn't use forerunner tech since some of them used that for food.

The drones clearly can do wonders with technology since they are on Par with Engineers for taking care of ships; not to mention that the kig yar had ships prior to the covenant also.


If anything i expect the lekgolo and kig yar to expand and grow after the war. give drones a few hundred years and they should be space faring also.

  • 10.10.2011 6:54 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

We'd probably be equal to Drones. We'd be above Grunts and Jackals, but below Brutes and Elites.

You seem to forget that the Elites had all of their own technology ages ago when the Covenant was first founded. They originally believed that tampering with Forerunner objects in any way was heresy, so they didn't do anything with whatever artifacts were left behind on Sangheilios except worship them. They didn't study them or reverse engineer them or anything. Any technology they had before joining the Covenant would have all been things they invented themselves. And they could easily do all that again given enough time.

They wouldn't be able to "easily do it" or else they wouldn't be having issues now.

They had that tech Eons ago; now when we talk about the "middle ages" setting us back that is nothing compared to how long it is going to take the elites to get back on track. even then it wouldn't be from the ground up, they would be incorporating forerunner,covenant, and human tech.
