    So far we've looked at the disturbing things done by ONI, and we've looked at the disturbing things done by the Flood, but what about the Covenant? The alien collective responsible for the death of over 23 billion humans, and for almost driving us to near extinction? Well buckle up, because as you'd expect, there are disturbing things about the Covenant that the games don't even touch on that'll make you look at them in a whole new light...

      From what we can tell the Covenant's policy upon finding new species was to absorb them into their ranks, and had they not discovered humans were forerunners/reclaimers (accounting for the retcon), they likely would have aimed to do the same with us, had they not found the Halo rings at a similar time. Every species has its strength. As for the brutes, there was hardly a better source for expendable muscle. And they also presented a way to balance the growing power of the Elites.

      But then again, Halo isn't too accurate in how quickly humans colonised the galaxy, considering how it takes place about 500 years in the future and I doubt we'd have colonised any further than the local group of stars, let alone the galaxy.
      Unless faster than light travel was invented early on. (Say, within the 21st century or the early 22nd century) But there's probably explanations in the lore for how humanity managed to colonise such vast swathes of the galaxy by the 26th century.

    What's funny to me is that the San Shyuum and the Covenant army remind me of the Roman Catholic church in a lot of ways. Their get-up, their faith, the way that the Prophets are holy, the fact that an innumerable amount of followers have no idea what their faith is even truly about, and to top it all off - Thel Vadam was basically the Martin Luther of the Covenant.

Covenant weapons are super OP in the actual lore. and it's so obvious that the covenant would absolutely overpower everything in mass effect. The reapers need to gather together and activate a massive super weapon to destroy a planet. When humanity could do the same with one ship and a bomb. Humanity were much faster at destroying planets. And they were losing. The only advantage a Krogan would ever have is their magic.

    1. The lie
    2. Brute violence
    3. Glassing
    I think the brute violence is more disturbing than glassing because it is intimate torture (to humans) and betrayal (to other Covies). It’s sadistic and disgusting behavior. It’s also face to face unlike glassing.

    I'd love to imagine how the few brutes left with Truth on the Ark would have reacted if the Flood and the UNSC were defeated and the Halo rings were fired. When the brutes discovered the truth and Truth himself tried to console them. The brutes would scream "What you do!?... What we do?" Then they'd make a blood bath out of Truth and kill themselves. A brute's brutallity can only go so far but knowing that they just unwittingly killed all life in the galaxy would turn any sapient creature into a suicidal wreck.

    You missed a part with glassing where sometimes the ships gun fluctuates so areas get covered over top of with a layer of glass but the surface doesn't actually get affected by the blast. In Halo 5 one of the entries you can find on the glassed planet that you go to is of one of the surveying teams coming to one of these bubbles of un affected glassed over areas and seeing a dog chain that goes from a dog house underneath of the houses porch. And that the surveyor had to leave and take time off due to just seeing that, and he explains how stuff like that happens all the time and they'd often find bodies of people

      TheXenomorphLord ! Honestly, I agree besides all the messed up stuff they did I still find them to be really cool. Not the prophets though, I can't stand the prophets.

      @@nicholassas4201 real shit I cant argue there lol ONI is FUCKED. Poor Ben Giraud is one of the many things they've done besides the spartan II program. I fucken love the covenant as well because well they are the villains but I can honestly see us as the covenant in the far future if we make it that far.... like the San Shyuum arent all that different from us... we are literally capable of the same or worse if given the same resources and time. Wed prob do worse

    so whenever the arbiter found out that everything he and his people did was for a lie you really can't imagine how pissed and remorseful he and every other elite was when they realized every human they killed was for a lie.
