In Response To: Re: Thoughts and conclusions (Tweek) : I think this comes down to whether this is from the Covie side or the human
i dunno... this sentence: "However, their commitment to the Covenant religion has always been in question, since they continue to maintain their ancient cultural traditions", makes me think it's an omniscient or covenant perspective. we really can't say jack about ANY race's faith, since all the humans know about the covenant is, "they want to kill us, for their gods". : We learn a lot about what we kill. If the Hunters were brought in by force,
good point...why assume a humanoid stance like that? my only explanation would be an evolutionary concession: maybe the hunters were competing with or being predated upon by a humanoid organism, and their populations assumed a similar structure in order to fight back, and then continued doing so in order to dominate the ecosystem. of course, no proof, so by occam's razor i'd say your theory is better. i still don't feel comfortable with it, but logic is in your favor. : Incidentally, ever notice just how naked the Covies are, really? Grunts have
actually, i think it proves the exact OPPOSITE, at least with the elites. you see, with primitive weapons technology, you're pretty much forced into close-range combat. this means you add MORE armor; as tech increases, armor decreases. look at the arbiter's armor, for example, vs. that of the regular elites - we saw the arbiter using a spear when fighting hunters, and lo! he's got much heavier armor than his companions. the standard elite has large pauldrons, but no chestplate to speak of - obviously they depend mainly on their energy shields. i think the grunts may have originally had more armor, but they dropped it when they began using large rebreather systems, due to the sheer weight of their kit. jackals likely wore a similar level of unarmor and relied on exterior shields and their speed for combat. --dude1 |
