Nah. They promised a new triology. Oh wait the covenant are back! It just sounds like the exact same game, just with new areas and guns.
Yes, the covenant will be back but they won't have a big role as in the other Halo games. There even is a possibility they won't be enemy. Some guy from 343i said this:
Yes. The Covenant will definitely return, albeit in a completely (graphically, politically and sonically) overhauled form, but they may be the least of your problems.
So, we'll have to wait until there's more information about the campaign to say anything like: It's just like the other games, just with new areas and guns.
Possibility they won't be an enemy? It's practically obvious they're not the enemy, the client races of the Covenant are in no shape to wage war, even less so than the UNSC.
Whatever enemy we fight, it will be something far more devious and ancient than any Covenant enemy.
Don't forget there's a possibilty we have multiple enemies. In the other games (except ODST and Reach) we also fought Covenant and Flood. So maybe in Halo 4 we will fight the Precursors/Forerunners/something else and some Covenant remnants (like groups of Jiralhanea). Or some Unggoy, Kig-Yar, Yan'me or whatever else will be allies.
