As we approach the 20th Anniversary of the first Halo game, Halo: Combat Evolved. I thought it would be nice to look back at the events that led up to the start of that game. Explore the species known as the Covenant, why they attacked humanity as well as some of the other battles that took place before the Halo event.

So in todays video we look at the origins of the Covenant and the UNSC and how they began the war known as the Human-Covenant War.

Correction. The brute had only just REDISCOVERED radio and rocketry. They had gotten to be pretty advanced, then nuked themselves back into the stone age in their own ww3.

The Halo games do a horrible job at showing us the true scale of the War and how close humanity actually was to being completely annihilated. Only Halo Reach comes close.

So, Johnson was one of the first to face both the covenant and the flood, and the floating lightbright is what took him down

I always thought it was funny the UNSC actually won most land-battles but the Covenant basically said, ‘nah’ and glassed their planet

Fun Fact: The Brute Choppa was actually a gift for the Humans. When the covenant landed on harvest they didn't want to scare the Humans with a giant independence Day ship luiming overhead. So they landed in the countryside and since Harvest was a Farming planet. They found a tractor. Inspired by it, they made a covenant copy of it to give to the Humans as a peace offering. But that never happened. The Prophet of Truth thought it could be used in combat by adding spikes and putting Brute spikers on it. The High council disagreed but Truth secretly ordered there production and after the High council and the rest of the Prophets were dead. The Choppa came to Halo 3.

I find it funny that the whole peace talks between the covenant and humans could've been settled diplomatically if they didn't bring along Tartarus because the moment he heard the gunshots he tried to kill Johnson instead of trying to figure out what happened

You know, the Prophets declaring a holy war on humanity with the goal of complete genocide somehow becomes more depressing when you learn they did it for political reasons.

This guy can narrator. Obvious statement, but he really draws you into the story he is telling. And next to Star Wars(especially the Expanded Universe content), Halo has been one of my favorite sci-fi franchises since Combat Evolve. With Reach and 2 being my top favorites amongst the games.

I’m not too fond of most of 343s additions to the original Halo story arc, but the CEA and H2A terminals are actually pretty good. They give a lot of context to the Covenants politics that imo doesn’t conflict with the story presented in game. Aside from maybe the Heretic leader supposedly knowing Thel’Vadam personally but not showing that in the boss fight at all.

Fun fact the Covenant called the war the War of Annihilation. Also the Covenant called the ODSTs imps.

I've heard this lore a thousand times throughout the years, but that didn't reduce my enjoyment of this video in the slightest. Great video dude, you've earned a sub.

I'd like to think that this war could've been avoided when the two sides encountered each other on Harvest. But, in the end, humanity would not have agreed with the so-called Great Journey that the Covenant were obsessed with.

One of the things I always thought set Halo apart from other science fiction was the fact that the Covenant were genuinely alien. There was no negotiation with them. No understanding of why they were after Humanity. No chance of surrender. They were mysterious and brutal and that made them terrifying. Aliens and conflicts from Star Wars or Star Trek or even the Battlestar had understandable goals and reasons for doing what they were doing, so the conflicts were just space versions of human ones.

This series is not your personal power fantasy of being a super soldier… it’s a power fantasy of the whole human race. I love it

Great, the first species we met in the war: Jackal pirates followed by Brutes and Drones. It’s no wonder the war escalated so quickly

It honesty would’ve made a great deal of sense if the ungoy got treated better by humans during the human covenant war and rebelled, due to their history.. but their little heads are so fun to shoot, and so fundamental to the halo game experience that it would never happen
