But when i played through CE in the last missioin, the maw, i started wondering, what does the covenant do on pillar of autumn? are they just searching for intel or why are they there?

TECH Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 The Covenant actively boarded the pillar of Autumn to find the location of Earth, so they could stomp out the heretics (non-believers,humans). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteSniper Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 When you get to the elevator near the end, there is an elite with 2-3 grunts depending on difficulty. His name is Zuka 'Zamamee and he was hunting John on the whole game, but he is not seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend that you read The Flood which is the second novel of the original trilogy of Halo novels. While it is mostly just repeating what you see in Halo CE, it does fill in the necessary gaps. I wont spoil anything but you should check it out OP.

Ramo 'Talusee Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think when your enemy is in your base, ship, back yard, etc. They want you to give them the cookies you baked for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book does not ever outline this info. The covenant AFTER the raid are reinforcements sent to reinforce the ship and fight flood infesting it by that point. I dont know where you et the rogue group from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composite Armour Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I always thought it was to prevent capture of the Autum by the flood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haloman 2 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 well they first went there for intel about earth or to capture cortana and to kill chief and to capture the remaining crew like keyes. then obviously the flood came to get off the ring but the covenant wanted to use it to escape and it got infested by flood then chief came along and just blew everything up while escaping himself with a hog. i just don't get, why didn't the covenant just escape with the wart hogs and the long sword that chief escaped through or with?
