ok I know for a fact Im not the only one whos gonna miss them and its a good thing they most likely wont be coming back for halo 4.
but what is the future of the covies?
only time will tell but maybe we can predict.
Simply put, Make groups or ideas on how the covies will appear in the future
Keep the thread alive and maybe, just maybe 343 may get an idea on how the covies sould become
Heres mine
The U.W.R.:The United Worlds Reconstruction are a remodeled U.N.S.C. human and alien alliance meant to rebuild any world lost to the war. In this alliance Humans, Elites, Grunts, and even some brutes all have a equal say in Trade and government business.
The Sight:After the war was over no one was paying the jackals so they returned to piracy. At first they were all separated, Then one day a group of skirmishers rallied the Pirate groups and created one large fleet. At first it seemed rocky but then they started making huge amounts of money attacking U.W.R. trade routs. This made a gold age of piracy for the jackal species and they all decided to leave their home world and all they loved to find riches they never could of dreamed of. Now their new home world is a re modified piece of a only halo that works as a ship world (a ship that has all that a world have that can carry an entire fleet. Much like high charity but safer and faster.) This alliance between the jackals as a whole could be a large threat.
The Rictorin:A huge clan of brutes who have stopped fighting each other to fight the elites. They are strong and have managed to enslave the worms that form hunters to serve as there puppets in a never ending war.
Really good well thought out ideas. But I’m 100% certain Coives will be in H4! But if their not your ideas make alot of sense, and are very good! Would love to see them in the game or something similar to them if no Coives are in H4.

thanks. when ever I make an idea I always give it 110% so that it has a future
I have absolutely no doubt that we’ll see species of the Covenant in Halo 4, and maybe even fight them, but I do not think the Covenant will return. If it does, that’s a mistake - the Covenant as a gameplay entity is far past its prime as far as the games goes. We need a refresher.
They will have to get them in somehow. What I think is going to happen is that the Elites will be allies with the UNSC. They will both have all new and upgraded vehicles and weapons (Elite vehicles all being green, it’d be cool to fly a green banshee or drive a green ghost).
Master Chief will be fighting the enemy by himself for about half the campaign and then the UNSC and Elites will find him and put up a big fight against the new enemy.
Meanwhile the Brutes try to reform the covenant and start it back up. The flood also come back.
In the last few levels it would all come down to Elites and UNSC, Flood, Covenant and New enemy all fighting one another somehow and it would be filled with vehicle and action gameplay along with boarding different ships in space and going onto different planets.

Agreed good ideas! But I’d rather have the stuff in the last paragraph be in H5. PLUS everoyne needs to remember Frankie said that some Covies and UNSC have no idea the war is over and the Covenant is dismembered! Or they can do something like in H2 have a rouge group of Brutes with all the other Covenant races as Rebels.

Glasslands makes it seem difficult to imagine humanity and Sangheili ever truly forming an alliance. You’ve got people in power on both sides doing everything they can to secretly tear each other apart, and it seems like the only two who are interested in alliance are Terrance Hood and Thel 'Vadam (the Arbiter). Other than those two, both Elites and humans spend the entire novel trying to plot discord amongst each other. I don’t think they will ally.
As for Brutes, their type of society makes it seem extremely unlikely that they will ever unite again. The Prophets did good with them in making them unite under a common cause, but that’s gone now, and the remaining Brutes are either living among other species (Brutes live with humans, Grunts, and Kig Yar on Venezia, curiously enough), slaves of the Sangheili, or probably out killing. They are, by nature, not organized in that way.

Yes but, the Prophets or some other race could convince them all to come back together again and seeing as how the Jackels are just hired guns they could easily make a return!
I think that the Covenant will simply end up like this:
Jackals will be pirates and traders.
Brutes will continue fighting each other and strong factions will emerge.
Elites will eventually settle their differences and ally with humanity.
Grunts will attempt to gain a measure of independence.
Drones will all hide in their hives and colonies.
Prophets will go rogue and attempt to reform the Covenant.
Hunters will go back to their planet in peace.

This could work well too! We don’t need to fight the Covenant! We NEED to fight the species that made it up!(Excluding Prophets they were trolls, and did nothing)

What if a brute made a new religion? I mean brutes join together because they saw something bigger then what they already were so wouldnt some brute who some how gains control of an entire halo be like a god making them all combine together so this “God” could bestow his blessing apon them?
My idea:
The UNSC somehow form an alliance with the Covenant when the Chief alerts the UNSC of the Ancient Enemy that is rising up. Like the old San Shy’uum-Human Alliance, we must defend our rightful place in the galaxy.

Ive always wondered how the hell the prophets went toe to toe with the elites. I mean
what if prophets at one time were actually good warriors. I mean regret knew how to fight. Just imagine a prophet who has discovered how to hack forerunner machines and has made a huge mech to fight MC and get revenge for some one MC killed (maybe he could be mercy’s son. I mean he was a old prophet. im sure he had some lady friends?
The Jackles will probably go back to being mercinaries / black market traders, Elites are Allyed with Humans to form a sort of New Covanant, the Brutes could seek revenge on the New Covanant" for destroying the “old Covanant.” Hunters will probably just get untamed and just crawl around as a wild animal, not in their armor. I could see Engineres joining the New Covanant, Drones will probably revolt aganst the Brutes, and eventually have to join the New Covanant. Some grunts will probably follow the brutes, and the rest will probably join the new covanant.

It was mentioned in Contact Harvest that during the Elite-Prophet war one Elite was about as effective as 10 Prophets in combat.
As for the Covenant and alliances and all that stuff, I don’t really think any of that will happen. Elites are more likely to be our enemies than anything else. It is also more likely that the lower castes will form some sort of co-operation with Humanity if any sort of co-operation is to happen, Brutes included. Brutes and Humans have already shown that they can tolerate each other on Venezia whilst Humans and Elites can barely refrain from killing each other. It is slightly ironic that Humans appear to get on better with the Brutes than the Elites all in all, but an “alliance” with the Brutes seems more feasible than one with the Elites.
