Re: Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals

In Response To: Re: Halo [R]Evolved - Two Betrayals (SonGoharotto) : A better question: Why would the average Covie infantryman want to speak : English? As far as the Covenant at large is concerned, we are an inferior : race that deserve only annihilation. : Grunts pick it up because they're naturally curious. Elites study it, : presumably, for intelligence-gathering purposes. And if The Cole Protocol : is canon, then (some) Jackals learned it for the sake of trade. But in : the trenches, you don't need to know what the enemy is saying to give him : "a belly full of lead and a pool of his own blood to drown in." : =) : Everyone speaks English in H2/3 for the sake of narrative expedience. A lot : of people hate reading subtitles and constantly having to write around a : language barrier unnecessarily complicates the information you're trying : to pass along. Naturally curious? It was an Edict by the Prophets that Covenant intending to do battle with humans forces be forced to learn our language. Check the timeline in the Halo Wars strategy guide or on in the game.
