I dont know it seems the covenant arent intimidating enough. How bout having some moody suspensful cutscenes where an elite is tortuing a marine. Its hard to build character in gameplay so Bungie needs to take their cutscenes to a whole nother level. Im talking like mini movies. Take the time to have 3 min duel between chief and brute cutscene maby have the brute head but chief, break the glass in frony of chiefs eye, then have the camera zoom into cheif eye, then fade to gameplay. its simple the longer the cutscenes the more in depth the story is. And they give us a chance to become scared of covenant.

"Bury Him"
"He's not dead"
"Oh?" walks over unholstering sidearm, and fires. "Bury him now"

um, no.
Reasons:
1) Chief is the shiznit, and the covenant fear him.
2) There isn't much of the covies, if the elites join us, that are scary.
3) It's their true nature to be pansies.- who cares if they can obrital bombard us, we can still kick their ass with ONE spartan and a few marines inside their own ship.

To me covies are pansies and really this idea should be the other way around, how bout the covies cower more from the humans? that'd be a better question.

The only thing that's gonna get scarier in H3 is the Flood.

hahaha i didnt say that we would stop kicking there ass. They could just be scarier and when mc does kill them it would be even more rewarding. War isnt one sided it has its ups and downs. The covenant could attack with a vengance that would make the player scared but we then come back even stronger.

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

Ya, the Covenant don't really need to be scary. About the "Cutscene = Indepth" phrase you said earlier, I believe that in most cases is right, but in some cases (As with Call of Duty 2) You can merge the cutscene and gamplay together to make it more realistic.

Yet they kicked humanities ass. The only Covenant race who seem to be afraid of humans are Grunts.
