[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Wolverfrog I feel like we're missing half of [i]Halo 4[/i]'s story in this regard.[/quote] Maybe they will cover it in Halo 5. Halo 4 was like CE in many ways, and in CE the Covenant had almost no character or exposition devoted to them. Then Halo 2 came along and changed that. If they are trying to mimic the original trilogy in the way the narrative and story evolved then the Covenant may play a larger role in the spotlight. And hopefully the Neo-Covenant isn't the be-all-end-all of the Covenant's post Halo 3 evolution. ------------ There's the possibility that the Didact didn't even say anything to the Covies and that the Covies just tagged along unsure of what the hell to do now.
