I personally cant wait to see the brutes and jackals and see how they have changed to fit
I also dont wana ever here the covenant again unless to refer to the past

The Covenant never had any honor. Period.

> The Covenant never had any honor. Period.

The Elites always had honor.

I was beginning to wonder why they weren’t as well armored as they once were. This could be a legitimate explanation.

Define their concept of honour.

Slaughtering innocent men, women and children because your gods say so.

Seems legit.

Its interesting they would go pirating if so this will be the first for the Elites and Grunts cause they never did pirating only ones that did was the Jackals. Reason why is because of money and trade. Jackals are happy to trade with anyone especially humans. The Covenant lost their ways and split up in different factions. I find this theory interesting.

They had a strong sense of honor before they joined the Covenant.

But besides, it’s based on perspective. What you think honor should represent may not be what someone else feels like it should represent.

And the honor in freely assassinating people you disagree with is where? That’s essentially their political culture.

Me and a buddy agreed on them possibly being rogue covenant.

The we’re warriors. That’s what their honor was based off of. Close related to Japanese culture (samurai). Have you ever seen 13 assassins? A group of honorable samurai warriors banned together to assassinate a political leader that would have brought misery apron the land and people. I think that’s pretty honorable. But again it’s all based off of perspective.

Hmm, it could be interesting encountering outed, independent, savage covenant ships.

The Samurai and ruling class brought tyranny upon the lowly people too. Why do you think most ninja were peasants?

The grunts look like they have lightbulbs on their backs.

I don’t know much about ninjas but it’s not like all samurai were like that. That’s like saying there’s only bad cops in the world that only want to abuse and oppress people. That’s Definitaly not true.

> The grunts look like they have lightbulbs on their backs.

LOL

> The grunts look like they have lightbulbs on their backs.

Could be Suicide Grunts or Spec Ops Grunts. Looks like Spec Ops but I will be surprised they would put the Suicide Grunts from Halo Wars into Halo 4.

Samurai weren’t really the honorable warriors most people think they were. They were little more than hired warriors.

I’m talking tru legit samurai. Not brutes trained to use a sword.

Or mass produced soldiers.

They were still samurai either way.
