Why do the Covenant in the FUD series look like the Storm variants of 2557? There is a massive time gap and a genetics gap. Was this just do to not wanting to spend more money on designing time and place legitimate CG characters?
simple answer…same reason why the covenant in the prologue is wearing Storm gear…not to confuse those who are new to the series …
which sucks
There are multiple things in the story that the new people would still not get. Doesn’t it explain the different Covenant in Halo 4?
Storm is probably using old armor.

This is disappointing.
John never knew about the new Storm sect of the covenant. Neither did Cortana. The humans probably call it the covenant because that is what they had been calling this alien alliance since the beginning of the Human/Covenant war. You know how it is. We humans are creatures of habit.
I do admit 343i could have done better at making it more obvious in the story though.
Ok here is everything needed to know about the storm
The elites after the war were on their last leg. They had no way to repair ships, or even their field equipment as that was the job of the prophets. With no faith to lead them they started a war with the brutes, in a trail of revenge and blood lust. This path lead to their large crumble as more and more of their ships, weapons, and even armor fell apart. After the war with the brutes was over the arbitor had seen the crumbling and knew that a truce with humans was the only way to survive. A wrather large splitter faction was made in protest of this treaty of peace, to turn their enemy to a friend and show weakness was a teeth grinding event to them. So now the elites are at a civil war. The storm covies are mainly a rag tag team of aliens who believe the humans are evil and that the forerunner are gods.
intruth the real covenant disbanded some time ago
the storm covies are a newly founded covenant
so basically a covenant mark 2 down grade.
NONE OF THIS IS IN GAME
IF YOUR A COVIE FAN 343 ONLY CARE 5% ABOUT YOU
NO COVIE FORGE, CANT PLAY AS COVIE, DONT GET ANY BACK INFO ABOUT COVIE UNLESS FROM BOOKS.

I agree, for someone not experienced in the lore it would be hard to understand.
