if I'm not mistaken, the covenant mistranslated a forerunner artifact. the covenant thought that the artifact said that the humans on harvest are in possession of an artifact, but it actually said that the humans were the artifact. when the humans had no artifact to show, the war began.
trivial isn't it?
The War Started When The Covenant Introduced The Universe To The Halo Ring's The UNSC (United Nations Space Command) Tried To Stop "Truth" From Firing The Rings And That's How The Halo War Started. It also started because humans were considered and infestation much like the flood. The covenant saw us as an obstacle in the way of the great journey.
it is when the covenant activate halo and destroy the humans and the flood
No, the only teams you can be in Halo Wars are the Marines (humans) and the Covenant.
no... its before Halo 1 when the humans have just started fighting with the Covenant
Well. . . Humans won, so Covenant sucks ^-^
humans-->guass warthog, covenant-->hero
push start at the main menu and go to apperance. u can be a covenant elite or a spartan.
In Halo 3 the covenant does die, the covenant will never be in another Halo game.
It is a prologue to the Halo series. It is about Covenant forces (the aliens) invading Reach (the planet) and destroying it and attempting to destroy the UNSC (humans).
The covenant is an alien species in halo including grunts and elites.
The UNSC(Humans), the Covenant (Grunts, Elites, Hunters etc.), and The Flood (parasites)
Several, for example the Ark of the Covenant. Very important in the Covenant religion and in Christianity as well.
Unless the future of humanity plays out similar to the story of Halo there will probably not be a war between humanity and aliens such as the Covenant.
