More games with the duality that Halo 2 had would be EXCELLENT additions - perhaps even a game featuring segments where both sides find ancient Forerunner relics which retold bits of the Human/Forerunner war, allowing them to not just see, but PLAY as the Promethean Warrior-Servants and Ancient Human infantry seen in the conflict - essentially telling not two, but four stories; four campaigns that, in one way or another, all connected to the present tense of that game.

It sucks that they reused the Covenant in Halo 4 and 5. Would've been more interesting if Jul'Mdama's covenant had it's own name, identity and beliefs. Like how Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy two different belief systems originated from the same religion. That split is conveniently known as the ''The East-West Schism''.

[@AngelXO96]

It made sense for Star Wars, Palpatine made the empire a competitive hierarchy and when his and Vader’s death came it was a free for all to gain the top spot. Easy for the new republic to fight the empire remnants if they all refuse to help each other. Same thing happened with the covenant but it was around for thousands of years compared to 2 decades like the Empire so a lot of those species in the covenant had a harder time letting go since it’s all they’ve known.

Alexander's Empire? I mean it fractured into at least four seperate successors, the Diadochi in Greek. Alexander's Empire at it's height would have never fallen to the Roman Republic; Macedon, a mere part fell without much difficulty. They resisted, but they, and the Selcuids, and the Phtolomies all fell to Rome, it is highly likely that with the empire united, Alexander's empire would have withstood or crushed Rome with superior resources available.

I feel that the Covenant had blurred the lines between what they call their "Great Journey" and dying loyally, I think that specifically the Elites felt that no matter how many die or how they die, once the Great Journey begins and you were loyal to the Covenant, you will transcend into the "Divine Beyond." This was a holy war against the Humans, beings the Covenant even called Imps and Demons, if you believed you were doing God's work and cleansing the sinners and tempters, you would assume that no matter if you die once this cleansing has taken place with yourself taking part, your God would believe you worthy to enter his or her realm as you were their protector, their obedient servant, so loyalty became an important part of the Covenant's culture.

[@PKM9107]

When I first went to college I wanted to be a game designer. And although I ended up changing my major two weeks later, there were 2 games I really wanted to make but both were pipe dreams. One was a game about General Grievous before he was the infamous cyborg during the war between the Kaleesh and Huk ending with the events during the battle of Coruscant(Because who would want the last mission to be getting shot by Obi Wan?) The second was about an elite from one of the Sangheili colony planets since customs and norms are different for them. By the time said elite was able to enlist in the covenant military he would serve a couple of months before Reach. Essentially the game would be about his career and wavering loyalty to the covenant up until the Sangheili civil war. Halo is such a large and expensive universe that I would definitely love to see a game from the covenant perspective. Not just bits and pieces of the game but the whole game. Either that or some human - forerunner war games.

[@valkaerie8715]

Ive wanted this from the start

[@Atlas_Maproom]

We really could use more games set during the war. Despite having 9 games, the ones set during the war only encompass the last 5 months or so of the conflict (plus like a month of the Harvest campaign during Halo Wars). There’s so much that could be explored.

PackHunter117 I only asked because of the Headhunters animated comic. We see Jay using an EMP grenade against a squad consisting of grunts, jackal's and elites. The grenade disables the jackal's gauntlet, the elites shields and there plasma weaponry. Don't forget that an overcharged plasma pistol EMP's shielded targets. EMP grenade's seem like a sizeable advantage for marines on the frostlines.

[@PackHunter117]

Nathan Wright Yes your correct. I love that episode. Idk why. Maybe the UNSC didn’t have many EMP nades at their disposal? Idk. You’d think those nades would be OP though. Because all Plasma weapons would be disabled. However the Covenant would still have Needlers and Needle Rifles, Carbines, Beam Rifles, Focus Rifles, Fuel Rods, Concussion Rifles, Brute Shots, Spikers, Maulers, and Gravity Hammers to use if their plasma Rifles, Pistols, Launchers, Repeaters, Brute Plasma Rifles, and nades were disabled.

I would love to see an ODST-esque story set on Harvest, not during the initial invasion (that's what Contact Harvest was for, and honestly, Halo Reach has already fucked with the novel continuity enough as it is), but with the years of fighting to retake the world, there's plenty of potential for something. Also, a Flood zombie survival game where you play not as Spartans or even ODSTs (though I'd be cool with the latter), but as normal Marines. There could be a Spartan involved at some point, but they've gotta leave from time to time as they go after their own objective leaving you to fend for yourself, much like the Spartans you play in the other games or even 343 Guilty Spark during the infamous Library mission.

During the war, "that mac gun can put a round clean through a covanant capital ship." Post war, in Halo 4, the UNSC Infinity was able to blast a hole into the didacts forerunner ship, when during halo 3 we see that multiple mac blasts do nothing to forerunner ships

[@Mateo-sc7lm]

depends on the size also, a frigate MAC is a joke when an orbital defense plateform couls one shot any ship, the bigger the stronger, and if i remember the Infinity has 4 MAC of the power of defense plateforms but we must take to account that she is the top of the top of the line

[@thorshammer7883]

@@Mateo-sc7lm So what kinds of mac guns are there? Are the ones on the frigates around the megaton range? I seen that the Orbital mac guns are about 42 gigatons and since the Infinity is stronger then those and likely the Orbital mac guns have been upgraded since then I can imagine them being in the hundreds of gigatons.

@@thorshammer7883 no idea about actuals numbers, i would assume "better than during the war" but idk, however notably some of the frigates the Infinity transports have droped the mac for plasma canons retro engeneired

[@thorshammer7883]

@@Mateo-sc7lm Plasma cannons interesting but I would keep the upgraded Mac gun and replace my automatic round coil guns with the Plasma cannons.

Honestly - what surprises me is how....little the UNSC relatively innovated. World War II saw both sides accelerate innovations and armies at the end of the war, were vastly different than armies at the start of it. I am surprise that the UNSC didn't accelerate the mass-reverse-engineering of covenant technology or even attempt to scale-up Spartan II shield technology to their starships

[@ReveredDead]

Isn't that just freaking ironic. The covenants thirst for Forerunner artifacts and attempts to emulate their Gods and then they discover the children of their God's and decide to exterminate them all.

I agree, the human covenant war would be a prime area for a grounded halo tactical shooter that 343 and Microsoft could try out. A halo game like the Arma 3 mod Operation Trebuchet could be good. With the halo franchise looking like it’s back on track, coming to PC, and a new engine as well, having a halo tactical shooter side game would be a good experiment to branch out the halo franchise. I would love to see a fully fleshed out brutal tactical ODST or marine game set in the human covenant war.

Please never stop making these

[@jeova0sanctus0unus]

Are we going to say humanity "held out?"

[@NerdWithGuns]

I for one would like to see a game set during the war that would almost be a mix between Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach. A game surrounding the Spartan-III Headhunters, clad in SPI armor. Think about it, no shields, probably no auto health regeneration, but with active camo and VISR. It would be AMAZING

[@NotEnenra]

This gonna be in the history books in the future

[@hollowedshadow2822]

I'd love to play more halo games, horror based flood ones, to m rated griddy human covenant ones where you play as normal soldiers, I'd love to feel exactly how hopeless the war was, but also how hard humanity fought to survive.

[@SWATDRUMMUH]

You know, if done right they could do a side series about a Spartan 3 from training to combat. It could implement the stealth mechanics that they introduced in ODST

[@generaljimmies3429]

How would Grand Admiral Thrawn have handled the war if he was sent to aid the UNSC?

[@yeeetybeeety9960]

“Spartans never die.....there just missing in action”

[@borg111]

Wait, so the San Shyuun forgot their alliance between their ancestors and ancient Humanity?

[@SpanishDio]

The best period of the entire series imo

[@nathancambefort8498]

I'm still waiting for a Contact Harvest game....

[@vinglebingus]

need more games set during the losing period so that we can fully experience how terrifying a covenant invasion is. I would also like the option to play as a marine

[@Sinn0100]

Which Halo game is being played at the 13:00 mark? At around 13:13 I saw a weapon I didn't recognize and I have played through every game in the series. It looks almost like a machine pistol that the Spartan attached I'm guessing sone type of explosive at the end.

[@dronz3881]

Honestly I want to see a post-war game set in a joint-occupation zone of the Swords of Sangheilios/UNSC. Or maybe on one of the Insurrectionist colonies that've started harboring Kig-Yar pirates and traders selling old Covenant scrap. Something like that. Imagine being a regular cop and having to enforce the law against the ex-Covenant species.

[@nagisafurukawa5365]

Man i would love more games set during the human covenant war we dont have to play as chief but it would be cool playing as him
