you people have obveously never read the Halo books. The covenent have the advantage of slipspace(another demension where nothing in the real world is tangeble) and plasma weapons (which refined by cortana cut through a covenent capital cruser, which is quite a feet). Then the humans have their technology. Spartins (5 to be exact), MAC Cannons, and the super nuke, able to destroy entire planets. That combination is very powerfull. Also, the covenent dont have a homeworld, and if they did, they have the technology to transport it into slipspace, therfor avoiding all damage.

Hyperdrive employs a subdimension to go through. You obviously have never bothered to read SW books either.
Second, plasma weapons aren't shit compared to even a rack of turbolasers.
Third, a super nuke? You DO realize how much megaton pressure is needed to destroy an entire planet, right? Start thinking in scientific notation.
Fourth, any engagement on the side of the Covenant would be the Empire wiping its ass with them. For one thing, Covenant are fanatical and not likely to withdraw initially. Second, an SDD has enough firepower to glass a planet using its own turbolasers. This is -omitting- some of its larger weaponry. Third, covenant ships are vulnerable to explosions (Halo 2), high calibre projectiles (Fall of Reach) and have no particle shields (Halo 2 again) as MC grabs on to the outer hull of the ship when he should have been incinerated by the shield since the ship -was- in combat.
I mean for God's sake, the Humans used explosives, and flying MATTER to destroy Covenant ships, how is zooming raw energy gonna be less effective against armour with virtually no shielding?
Lead bullets can kill an Elite, but a laser can't?
Gravity Wells do absolutely nothing? The speed of the Imps' tech. means squat? The Force does nothing? Sheer f*ckin numbers, VASTLY in favour to the Empire, will have no effect on the Covenant?
