Just asking, I don't really want to have a poll just cause'. Do you guys think that the humans will become part of the covenant. I mean Bungie hasn't exactly specified how the covenant was formed and I am pretty sure that Jackals, Grunts, Elites, Brutes, Hunters, Prophets, Drones, and Engineers didn't originate on the same planet. They probably had to go through what humans went through then faced either becoming eradicated or joining with the covenant army. But that still leaves a question, who is the ultimate conquerors, I'm thinking Forerunners, but they gradually faded away after the first covenant government was formed. That also means that the cov. is ancient because forerunners are mythological to the covenant. My main question is, will humans become a section of the covenant to survive?

No they may join with the arbiter and his fellow heretics though.

“We are the Mirratord. We strike with speed and stealth. Our enemies will not see their deaths. They will not know their fate. In darkness, we will see light. In light, we will see darkness. No matter the location, we will see victory. If we fail, no one will know. Like a ghost, our presence is a mystery. For the honor of the Mirratord" Join the Mirratord here

I think that this is a good theory. It may be possible, because the covenant want what is on earth so bad they may let us into the covenant just to obtain it, because after all Bungie never specified why they started the galactic genocide on us....

It has been explained between the games, instruction manuals, and books that the covenant began with an alliance between the elites and prophets. From there, they began to conquer other alien races and assimilated them into the covenant after beating them...so that's how the covenant was formed. Next, the covenant found forerunner artifacts and began using the technology that was contained within those artifacts. The forerunners are mythical to the covenant because they admire this "ancient" civilization that was so advanced. They have never met the forerunners. Finally, if the covenant was going to add the humans to their army, they would have already. It was stated in a conversation between two elites. The elites wondered why we hadn't been offered a position within the covenant, but it was stated that the prophets believe humans to be a disgrace to their "forerunner gods" and we must be exterminated.

I think it will be the other way around. I believe that inside the ark both humans a covenant will discover that humans are the forerunners. Then the covenant will worship us and help us wipe out the flood. Maybe they won't worship us but we will at least rule over the covenant. I think that inside the ark we will find a something like holographic message left by the forerunners that will answer all the questions from the first two games and the figure in the recording will be a human being. It will explain to the rest of the covenant what the Halos really do and they will revolt against Truth and those who still follow him. In the end thier "demon" will become thier god.

Read about my gaming here.

Why aren't the humans allowed into the covenant? Well, because we have the knowledge to overthrow the Prophets, to prove them wrong, the prophets know that, but the rest of the covenant don't
