:::Talking about "The Covenant" breaking the treaty was a bit odd, and yeah, unlike in Halo 4 where Chief would have no idea what was going on, ONI of all groups knows exactly what's up. It was pretty clearly there for more "casual" viewers, but I think they brought it up a few too many times.

As an aside I liked Horrigan's comment about how the Sedrans are "two centuries behind us" and "still believe in Valhalla". At first I thought that was a hyperbole or joke or he was just clueless about the local religions, but it could also be that the Norse religion was in vogue in the 2300's. It'd be a little silly and unexpected but stranger things have happened. Sometimes it's easy to forget how much cultures can change in five hundred years, particularly when you have hundreds of different offshoots developing on their own on different worlds. I like these sorts of bits of future history that remind us this is not just today's world in space (something I had a problem with in the ''Kilo-Five Trilogy''). --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:27, 13 November 2014 (EST) | |||

[[Yonhet|This new species]] kind of irks me. It's obvious that it was created for the sake of cutting down on the CGI budget. I really don't like the idea of a humanoid alien species in Halo other than the Forerunners. These guys seem like something you would see in Star Wars, Star Trek, or Mass Effect. Halo's aliens have always been completely non-humanoid. There's also the fact that it kinda spits in the face of the significance of why humans and Forerunners look similar. Now there's a third species in the picture?--[[Image:PENGUIN4.gif|15px]]''[[User:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Fluffy</span><span style="color:gray; font-family:Verdana">Emo</span><span style="color:black; font-family:Verdana">Penguin</span>]]<sup><small>([[User talk:FluffyEmoPenguin|<span style="color:gray">ice quack!</span>]])''</small></sup> 14:29, 12 November 2014 (EST) | [[Yonhet|This new species]] kind of irks me.

:Yep, that's pretty much exactly how I feel about them too.

::Yeah... Though I'm not against the idea of introducing new fringe species, the Yonhet were really lazily designed. Even with makeup and prosthetics they could've worked harder to make him look more alien. Add bulk in some places and some extra appendages, and alter the hands. Maybe they'll be explained as having been genetically engineered by the Forerunners (or ancient humans) for some reason, or they'll just get reworked into something less like a cheap ''Star Trek'' alien if we see them in a game where the CGI budget isn't an issue. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 03:27, 13 November 2014 (EST) | |||
