Talk:Covenant Loyalists

Regret

OK Regret died before the covenant civil war started so he has nothing to do with the covenant loyalists and is certainly NOT a commander in chief.

Covenant Loyalists

I'm not sure "Covenant loyalist" is an accurate term. The writings so far have said that the Covenant is still the Covenant, it's just that the Elites have left it. -ED 20:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think "Loyalist" is a good term. The Elites were a former race of the Covenant, and are now Seperatists, while the other races stay loyal to the Covenant. Therefore, they are Covenant Loyalists.

I agree with ED. They're just The Covenant. Just because they're loyal to their people does not mean that they deserve an extra page about it. We have a page on the Separatists because they are no longer Covenant.-- Forerunner 21:11, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hunter

I think Hunters are covenant loyalists... In the E3 2007 trailer they are hunters who are fighting against Marines. (sorry for my english, I'm french)

Actually Hunters (Lekgolo, actually) split, with some going to the Loyalist side and some becoming Seperatists.

"End of the Covenant"

It says that in Halo 3 Epsilon that they show the ending to Halo 3, I took that out because they on play the level Tsavo Highway.JanSpartan117 ^{BLAM! Grunts Rule!} 13:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Pic

Actually, the ships that are on the article page are ELITE ships - not Loyalists. File:HalfJaw03.jpg Kora ‘Morhek The Battle-Net My Conquests. 18:35, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

True. I put the pic on the Separatist page. Now we need a new pic for the Loyalists. Blacktiger9000 09:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Halo 3

In Halo 3 do the loyalists still use the same vehicles as in Halo 1 and 2 or do they just use Brute vehicles i.e. the Brute Prowler and the Brute Chopper.

Well, the loyalists use ghosts, banshees, shades, and wraiths too. Ghosts are usually used by grunts, as are Shades, while Wraiths and Banshees are used by Brutes. Oh, and the Phantom is also used by Brutes, but that's a no-brainer.

If you can learn to play Halo, you should be able to learn to write

I know I'm not going to cause any great miracles of literacy here, but do not use apostrophes for plurals like that.

You use an apostrophe for two reasons: To mark a contraction or omission, or to point out that a word ending in s owns something else (the word ending in s is called a possessive).

"Grunts ain't no slouches either" has an apostrophe for the "contraction" in ain't, but "Grunts" has none because it is simply referring to more than one grunt.

The Arbiter's response, "The Grunts' newfound courage is but fear", has an apostrophe because the courage belongs to the Grunts (Grunt's is a possessive). Also, note the placement of the apostrophe. If the word is both an possessive and a plural, the apostrophe follows the s. If the possessive is not plural "The Arbiter's response", then the apostrophe is before the s.

You should know this. Don't give me any crap about how you aren't that old or you haven't been taught that in school yet. You know your way around a computer well enough to find this site and edit it, so you are qualified enough to figure out how to write.

One last thing. It's means one thing only: a contraction of "It is". Its is the one possessive you do not put an apostrophe on (that I know of). This is because it can be both a contraction and a possessive. In such cases, the contraction wins the use of the apostrophe, and since "Its" ALWAYS implies possession, it is just assumed that that spelling refers to the possession of a previously mentioned possessive.

Again, I am without hope that this will make a damn bit of difference, but I am tired of people stroking themselves about how badass they are in Halo on legendary when they fail life's achievements at the easy difficulty level. At least master life on Normal first.

Just because I want someone to read this, I'm committing temporary vandalism by posting this on the actual article as well.

Vandalism of a page is not an appropriate way to make your feelings known. --EDFile:ArmyROTC.gif 20:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Quite frankly this is pathetic. your lashing out at a bunch of kids who, for a hobby, edit this site with information. Did you expect this to fill in to your high standards? You really need to get your own head out your ass and instead of complaining like a coward, actually go fix it. --Ajax 013 20:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Request for Move - July 2010

I, Forerunner request that "Covenant Loyalists" be merged with the "Covenant Empire" article. My basis is that the Loyalists and Covenant empire are interchangeable. The Covenant didn't simply create a new military called the Loyalist forces to fight the Sangheili, it was just the Covenant military, but with the Sangheili roles replaced. Just because you are loyal to your people doesn't mean that you need another article.-- Forerunner 14:18, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

End date is 10 August, 2010.

Support (2/2)

1. Support - as per request.-- Forerunner 14:18, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
2. Support - Still the same Covenant, just without the Elites. Smoke^{Sound off!} 14:21, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
