This kind of reminds me now of how the Space Pirates in Metroid are usually always brought back, even if they're not always the main focus. That said, I don't mind seeing some Covenant again. If anything I guess they're too iconic to stop being in the series altogether. Personally I'd miss hearing the funny Grunt yells and such after awhile if there were no Covenant at all.
True that.
The Flood returning would be more nonsensical though. It's most likely gotta be new enemies. If not, then 343's officially a lot less creative than Bungie. Anyway, still lovin' the improved cinematics so far.
Well it's not like the Ark automatically killed off all Flood in the entire galaxy and the Flood were contained in more than one Forerunner facility other than the one on the Halo Array in Combat Evolved so it's a possibility. I'm not saying it would be a good thing if they came back (I swear to God, if I find one more level like Cortana if they do...) but I'm not gonna rule anything out just because it annoyed me in the past (mostly). Also, I'm pretty sure there'll be new enemies.
it would shit all over Halo 3's ending
You don't think Halo 3's ending wasn't already shat all over when 4 was announced? Does the saying "finish the fight" ring any bells? I know that was directed towards the war with the Covenant but still.

I wonder how long they've been in that ship.Because, smart a.i.'s like cortana go insane after 7 years iirc. She should be reaching that mark soon.
Also, not impressed with her look.
I think she already lost her sanity in Halo 3 when she was hanging out with the Gravemind but was able to reclaim it once Master Chief got her back.
Yeah, I'm not digging Cortana's new look either. She's better off with her Halo 3-look IMO.

Will there be any Covenant presence in Campaign or Multiplayer? Be it weaponry, equipment, architecture, etc. –Lloyd Jo en esYes. The Covenant will definitely return, albeit in a completely (graphically, politically and sonically) overhauled form, but they may be the least of your problems.

... really? 😬That sucks. They're going to have to really find a way to spin that.
From what I read in GI, you wake up and you're basically getting butt raped by a bunch of Covenant ships. But you don't know why or what group they belong to.
And you're going to a Shield World, which is basically the safe guard against the Halo Rings. It's a planet sized Dyson Sphere which protects everything on the planet from the Halo's going off. And you might find some Protheans.
