Why does everyone assume that the covenant that we see in the trailer are our enemies? whose to say that they arnt and invading force with the chief? like say those covenant and the chief invaded an already cavenant occupied earth. that might explain why they arnt shooting at him and he is walking the same way they are flying. maybe we are watching a trailer from midway in the game when its master chiefs job to start/stop what the artifact is doing.

Well, to be honest, we don't know that, but that's an interesting idea. Like maybe the humans and heretics have banded together and beaten the Prophets and Brutes, but now have to work together to deal with whatever is coming out of that hole in the ground. I like it.

The banshee could have missed the chief or even didn't care as the Earth was about to be destroyed. Though it is a good point it could be chief and the elites trying to stop the prophet from activating the artifact.

I am...whimsical today.

If they are friends then the reason is pretty obvious why they didn't shoot, but why did they not pick him up?
If they are enemies, then they may not have shot because the Artifact was of more importance.
If they were neutral then that is why they didn't shoot, and also didn't pick him up. However to be fully absorbed in the Artifact you'd have to oppose the views of the Cheif...

Short answer: They could be thinking anything :)

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

too hard to say. since MC isn't aware of the elites helping Miranda and johnson. but since the trailer takes place further into the game he may have already been told and there may be some type of cooperation there. who knows, we'll find out next year.
