is it me or did it bother anybody else that the covenent still bothered to shoot you when they were being attacked by the flood. i mean the enemy of my enemy is my friend right? that's a new kind of hatred right there when the covenent would rather shoot you than this freakish new alien species.

*GASP* A bumb? No!

Anyway, yeah. That does seem rather stupid. You'd think we'd all be friends and kill the flood... then go back to senslessly killing each other.

I think the covenant should have joined sides with us and we could have killed the flood. Then we could become friends. Then they would come to earth and live with us in peace. Then we would learn their language. Then they would show us their secret plasma ways. Then the colonies they destroyed would be rebuilt. And then. And then. And then. BOOM! I can't handle it anymore.

It's not like the covanant will generally break off in the middle of a firefight with the flood to go after you. They just attack anything that isn't covenant.

Anyway, it's perfectly reasonable. The covenant think that we're vile pests that should be utterly eliminated at all costs. They hate the master chief even more because of all the trouble he's caused any pretty much any of them would be happy to die killing him. They're certainly not about to "taint" themselves by dealing with one human.
