Ok , so we all know that the arbiter was last seen (in halo 3) in the Shadow of Intent taking R’tas Vadumee and himself back to their home planet. What I want to know is, should elites and the covenant in general be in Halo 4? If so, what should they be doing? Who’s side are they on? What do you guys think?
(TOP INFO IS OLD THREAD, SEE BOTTOM TEXT FOR UPDATE)
UPDATE
Alright, so we all know that the Covenant are in Halo 4, so. What are you guys hoping to see return? Elites, Hunters, Brutes? It would be really cool to see new Covenant technology. Let me know what you guys think.
KEEP IT CLEAN.
PS: I will inform you guys if I see future info…
I doubt there would be any covenant in Halo 4 because the Chief is heading to some sort of ‘legendary’ planet or shield world. Most likely Forerunners and/or Precursors. No Humans or Covenants. This CAN change at any given time because 343 hasn’t shown any actual footage of Halo 4. Right now, we’re just speculating on what’s going to be in Halo 4.
I think the Elites are allies with the Humans, after all, they did help out in Halo 3. The rest of the Covenant (Grunts, Brutes, etc) are still the enemies.
There’s a tiny possibility, but I doubt that the Covenant have a place in Halo 4; maybe in Halo 5 and 6, but doubtibly Halo 4.
Aside from possibly having Elites in multiplayer, I kinda doubt we’ll really see any Covenant in Halo 4. But the Arbiter is an important character in the lore so I can see him and the elites return in Halo 5.
Covenant worship the Forerunners. The Forerunners are probably going to be the enemies. If the Forerunner are enemies then so are the Covenant.
Wait, what? We’re not fighting Covenant in Halo 4?! I don’t like where this is going…
Also, I feel incredibly stupid for not realizing this sooner.

Why would we being the covenant? The war is over as of right now.

Why not, Math?
According to most of the people who are already assuming it’s going “back to Halo 3”…we might as well just re-release Halo 3 as Halo 4 anyway.
Right?
=X

I know, from a canotical standpoint it makes perfect sense. but I’m going to miss fighting them…
Plus, does this mean no more Ghosts? No more Plasma Rifles? Covenant make up half (if not more) of the content in Halo. You can’t just take them away from the game completely like that.

Good point! We should also rename Halo 4 as Halo 3 Anniversary.

No one is saying they won’t show up in Halo 5. They might be our allies again in the fight against the new enemy.

Well if you’ve seen the concept art for Halo 4 there is a picture of ships that look to be covenant flying towards some structure, with humans in the bottom left of the image.

Wrong that’s the cover for the new halo book. It’s not the covenant.
they will be seen in halo 5 and 6 for sure.
I’m like 99 percent sure that we’ll see the elites in the new trilogy because they’re somewhat allies with the humans and on the Halo 4 website it says, “an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe” so if the new enemy is a threat to the entire universe i’m sure the the elites will help to fight it.

Halo is nothing without the covenant and they should stay in halo 4
I think it would be pretty cool if the covenant would return. And the elites and humans decided to just let by-gones be by-gones and be allies now. I think it would be pretty cool to see what the covenant and humans would do together.

Haha an epic battle of Covenant and Humans versus the Forerunners versus the Flood. I love it!
Im very certain we wont fight the covenant but stranded remenants of it that crashed on the planet like chief and presumed dead. Besides we will probally see the elites later on if they find chief or if the UNSC does the Arbiter might tag along. And im also sure we wont miss the covies tech because some of it is reengineered forerunner technology.
