Forerunners 1: Hey lets make humans reclaimers and inheritors of all of our technologies
Forerunners 2: Hey what about these other species's worlds? We have technologies there that we should pick up.
Forerunners 1: Oh them? Oh dont worry, their not smart enough to make use of our technologies

*Several thousands years later*

Forerunner 1 (In the afterlife): Well shit...

Its genuinely hilarious to think if not for the existence of the sangheili the covenant would've failed multiple times.

The human covanant war was essentially the covenants Vietnam war

When I first played halo 2, I was 6 years old and the scale of the halo universe still amazes me, such a shame that the franchise has been so mishandled, really great video

I think a post war video needs to be done for the covenant, factions etc i'm curious on all that info and your video was great!

[bolojohnson]

I like your story telling have you ever considered doing a Warhammer 40k talking about each of the Warhammer factions with the halo music, that or gears of war that would be cool and more heart felt

[TOXSGhost]

Was that "humanity first" line, and ode to Generation Tech? 👀

[TheBiggestJake]

What the hell is that thing on the right in the thumbnail? Looks like an elite with a normal jaw and some metal visor in its mouth.

[UltimateSaber]

All great kingdoms do fall except for the Heavenly Kingdom Of Christ

[DrBusiness]

Were really calling the covenant the greatest galactic empire? Were just ignore the forerunners and their especially designed reclaimer race? Welll okkayyy
