Also, when they’re trying to murder you

We’ve spent well more than a decade conditioned to abhor The Covenant. Every time we see them, everything immediately dissolves into an all-out firefight. There’s no love loss at all.

But, maybe those guys aren’t so bad — especially the Grunts. At a recent preview event, we captured some small talk from various Covenant enemies inHalo 5. Grunts prove to be cute at absolutely all times. Try not to crack a smile as one yells “Scatter!” and runs around in a panic with his arms flailing. Related: Elites are still unrelenting assholes.
