well mabey because the prophets have little protection only the brutes drones and jackles to protect them so its very likely that the prophets will hire new species =)

Yeah some new aliens and overall more alien gear/ ships are needed.

Halo 1 presented the covies as very alien and foreign in both their speach, their society, and their odd looking spaceships (gotta love those classic y shaped dropships).

Now with elites constantly speaking directly in english to us via translators the whole (as well as almost every other covie unit) they almost feel like humans.

We really need some less humanoid alines to be plopped in to this next game. Perhaps a modified for halo drinnol to break up this flow of man sized elites/ brutes surrounded by small floods of grunts/ jackals.

Or whatever they see fit for the series. Just please bungie make them feel like aliens again and not just generic humanoid #1,2, and 3 etc.

Make them walk, talk, and act like something we wouldn't even imagine.

It would be cool to add the Covenant Egineers from the halo books.

I agree that adding Engineers into the game would be cool, alteast only to look at and shoot. I think they should only add another Covenant race if it makes sense to the story and fits. Don't add anything just for the sake of adding.

I did think about a covenant race that had the same body form of a Raptor (dinosaur) that could attack at incredible speeds and has creepy teeth.

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

The brute side needs to because they have no allie that matches the hunters on the elite side plus they lost a lot of usfull soldiers so to take earth they need a new species like a drinal.

The aliens are humanoid because in nature, for a developed species, humanoid works. (but it is a game) How about getting rid of Drones. Those things were more annoying to fight then fun.

The drinal was simply do big. The game woulda kinda sucked having this thing runnging around, plus it wouldnt always help out the covies since well they kept it locked up. The brutes (side) needs something similar to a grunt and the elites (side) needs something like a jackle, but not like the same thing. Maybe something about the same size but has more fire power or smarter.

In ledgendary It only takes like 4 shots and ur dead! yet their bad accuracy, teamwork, AI and tactics make the covenant an easy kill. They badly need some help if they're havin such trouble with one guy.
