Talk: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. --Jaeryd 07:47, 10 December 2007 (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.

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.
