So far we've looked at the disturbing things done by ONI, and we've looked at the disturbing things done by the Flood, but what about the Covenant? The alien collective responsible for the death of over 23 billion humans, and for almost driving us to near extinction? Well buckle up, because as you'd expect, there are disturbing things about the Covenant that the games don't even touch on that'll make you look at them in a whole new light...

Brutes when one of their own dies: Looks like meats back on the menu boys
I smell man flesh
great reference
If Brutes have a drink like that Draught... what would it be made out of?
*looks at grunts* What about them? They're freshhhhh!
Pug Zergrush THEY ARE NOT FOR EATING!!!
Killing a grunt after learning about what they do and their history: *sad spartan noises*
Killing a brute after learning about what they do and their history: *T H A T F E L T G O O D*
I always enjoyed killing brutes when i was a kid back in Halo 2, now i know why
*coughs grunts have killed billions of humans coughs*
*doom music ensues*
Always’ Meepin so do human beings don’t blame them
Loyal Subbot the difference human beings did it in Defense grunts did it out of hate?
Brutes: We eat humans, grunts, and each other for fun we are the toughest species out there!
The Flood: That’s cute
Okay...
Okay....
...*CENSORED*
Okay...
Okay..
Regarding the Brutes, it should also be noted that when the Covenant found them they had just finished nuking themselves into the stone age.
We’re on are way there as well amigo.
Weren’t they gonna become a space faring species but their obsession with war completely prevented that.
Yeah they were but BUT when they were found they weren't in the stone age any longer. They rediscovered rocketry and radio.
*again*
@@spider-jonah-man7148 dont let history control you or else youre doomed to repeatit
So The Prophet of Truth was a liar, ironic.
THE ORACLE 1173 It's actually why he decided to call himself Truth. The irony is no coincidence.
He could save others from death, but not himself
The other ones didn't do well either in having appropriate titles
Mercy died mercilessly, Truth died lying and Regret died without having regret for his actions
all three titles were opposite to the ones that held them mercy was a sadist truth was a liar and regret was a drunk and sex addict
I always enjoyed killing the brutes the most.
Same
They should make a skull for brute birthday party
Killing a brute in halo reach with a needler has to be one of the most satisfying things ever. Those fucks drop like flies when faced with a needler.
@@donaldbaird7849 No, with a SNIPER in firefight. Even the armored Brutes, not including Chieftains, die from a headshot on Heroic. I was recently playing Firefight Multiplayer, I got a sniper rifle, killed four armored Brutes, and then killed three Elite Ultras who came out of a drop pod and cornered me. I felt like such a badass since I barely survived, but I killed those seven Covies singlehandedly.
I enjoy the Jakels
Jackal Snipers.
me who sucks so bad he has to play in easy: I don’t have such weaknesses!!!!!
Fuckin jackal snipers
Underrated comment.
No more no less…
The horrors
I just realized, the glassing beam is literally just a super-powered binary rifle
I bet it's fired by a jackel
@@TheNavigator4552 nah.
Apexion Nah, more like a focus rifle. Binary is 4runners tech :P
@@TheoGarza covenant use forerunner tech
Learning more about what happens when a planet is glassed has made me enjoy killing elites even more.
"...violently themed weaponry" Yeah, personally I prefer peaceful weapons.
"Inhumane torture..." Yeah, I personally prefer ethical torture.
Atomitch3000 lol
Well, I do suppose you can use pacifying drugs to "peacefully" kill someone. That they literally "relax to death."
Same, nothing like the peace-rifle to quell your enemies
A rifle is a rifle. Theres no accents, decals, or decor of any sort.
A rifle with human blood splattered on it on purpose, teeth decoring it, maybe even a bone or two strapped on is more of a extreme.
When you realize you are wrong in an argument so you literally overthrow an Empire and start a mass genocide
Lol yeah fascists do this unironically
@@kx7500 the resemblance is scary and uncanny
@@zepanzer9598 you’d be surprised how much fascist states actually tend to act like monarchies. Treating the leader like a cult religious figure that can do no wrong. You see this with Hitler, trump, bolsanaro, Mussolini, it all requires complete devotion.
@k'ser oneia that’s not true. Socialism and communism fundamentally rely on power being decentralized into the masses especially economically, there’s nothing about them that would support a cult following or monarchy, even if some movements want to co opt those terms for their own benefit. As fascists often do such as stalin and hitler
god damn dude I just typed a big paragraph and it got completely deleted lol but I'll try again smh
"Tarturus... The prophets have betrayed us..."
Lmao
Such a heavy scene
"No arbiter... soon the great journey shall began and the brutes not the elites shall be the prophet's escorts!"
The Brutes seem like the type the Covenant wouldn’t accept into their ranks but here we are.
From what we can tell the Covenant's policy upon finding new species was to absorb them into their ranks, and had they not discovered humans were forerunners/reclaimers (accounting for the retcon), they likely would have aimed to do the same with us, had they not found the Halo rings at a similar time. Every species has its strength. As for the brutes, there was hardly a better source for expendable muscle. And they also presented a way to balance the growing power of the Elites.
The Prophet of Truth creamed himself over the thought of an entire species of obedient death machines. That's why he waged war against the Elites.
The prophets had to manipulate the elites but the brutes do the prophets biddings without a question
@@agentnukaz1715 the elites still oversaw/directed the brute ran space ships in battle with humans and intentionally made some battle systems inoperable and removed some good munition capabilities from the ships before the initial handovers. The elites knew a great schism was on the horizon before the rings were even discovered. The books have awesome lore
@@Seasniffer69 yaeh ik I read harvest, too bad dadap didnt survive
I'm surprised you did not mention the Prophet of Exquisite Devotion's Gravity Torture on the Sangheili. The fact that he manipulated gravity to slowly and painfully push out the organs of his victims akin to toothpaste being squeezed out. That was a very sick San'Shyuum.
Drakle Studios holy shit
YESCAFRESCA Welcome to the Covenant!
I was like "Holy fuuuck" reading Broken Circle, good book.
NKVD Comrade Orion It's my favourite
Broken Circle. Love that book. Mken was the first San'Shyuum I empathized with.
“They kill their own” yeah cuz humans would never do a thing like that
Never. That's nonsense
Willburz ! Yeah but we don’t eat our own (apart from some)
@@antonyd6649 its a big thing for some African warlords and their army
yeah but when we have prisoners, they get treated like humans if the other side treats us like humans. Humans also dont kill each other for fun. Members of the armed forces will all tell you that it is not the slightest fun to take life from someone.
*backs away slowly*
These games are essentially rated R. I'm surprised the Brute violence isnt in the games.
Also, I dunno why, but I love the word 'bloodsport'
Because when games are especially violent (e.g. Manhunt, Postal) they’re given an AO (I think) rating, which is Adult Only, basically only given to porn games and games that are extremely violent.
Adding the actual violence these weapons and species would extort, would give Halo a higher rating, which equals in loss of sales.
@@LuisCastillo-rt5nk Fair enough.
I often wonder what halo would be like if the violence was realistic. I think very few people would play it, the flood would make people scream and have nightmares, let alone the brutality of the covenant
Oh please there’s no way it would be Ao I mean think about it only like five games in history that aren’s porn The most that I would expect is a mixture between dead space and doom
Luis Castillo bulletstorm , gears of war , gta, saints row are all way worse and yet they didn’t get AO
Thankfully they didn't glass all of reach, because we see in the final cutscene which takes place 30 years after reach there is a bunch of green grass.
It regrew
@@flimsypopcorn638 Yeah the final cutscene shows the area where 6 died become livable again. Like the video said, it was terraforming.
@@keenanthornley7680 Apparently, the original estimates for how long it'd take to terraform a glassed planet was way off, as it took mere decades to terraform parts of Reach into being habitable. It still however, takes a while and keep in mind that Reach was second to Earth in importance, so a lot of focus was put towards terraforming it.
@@cancercentral9997 we could probably chalk that up to the UEG focusing all their resources on the resettlement of reach. Or they just used forerunner tech, who knows.
@@t-rayjones8214 Yeah. I do think that the timespan is quite brief, considering how the planet was glassed by plasma, which to me seems like it'd be very, very hard to recover from and it'd take a long time.
But then again, Halo isn't too accurate in how quickly humans colonised the galaxy, considering how it takes place about 500 years in the future and I doubt we'd have colonised any further than the local group of stars, let alone the galaxy.
Unless faster than light travel was invented early on. (Say, within the 21st century or the early 22nd century) But there's probably explanations in the lore for how humanity managed to colonise such vast swathes of the galaxy by the 26th century.
Either that or its just "Stop focusing on the timescale and logistics and enjoy the epic music and tech and ALIEN BATTLES!" lol
I think the Brutes would have killed everyone anyway, regardless of whether or not the Great Journey was a lie.
Charlemagne S Seemed to be their nature
ddam1320 There were Brutes that were different to others, some were smarter like Atriox. Maybe these more sane ones just kept power for long enough to advance technologically, or there was a country that stayed out of the violence long enough.
Also Brutes are *INCREDIBLY STRONG* something that needs further exploration because the Halo fanbase takes it for granted.
An Elite can lift a 1000Lb+ Spartan with ONE HAND. That is top of the crop Kodiak Grizzly Bear Mass being lifted with ONE HAND
Brutes are STRONGER. Tearing a human apart for them is like pulling apart wool or blades of grass
I'm sure they would of attempted it but I'd say on their own, humanity at full strength or the elites would absolutely flatten them. Extreme violence and strength does not beat tactics and technology
Charlemagne S other than the gravemind and his army
Personally, either ONI, or the Flood are more ‘disturbing’.
Plus the intro is badass!!
Junior Soza their all incredibly disturbing, but yes, the flood's brutality makes brutes look like babies, and ONI and the Prophets are, in my opinion, on par.
When you made 2/3 of the spiciest memes known in the Galaxy 👌
The brutes literally yell "I will tear you Into bloody red ribbons" at you in halo 3
3 MOST DISTURBING things about HiddenXperia
C.O.T.U Davide being I C O N I C
C.O.T.U Davide he’s a flood combat form
He’s going to glass all of our mongrel hides
3. Lack of 900,000 subs
2. He is a flood grave mind
1. He is-[Error]- SOURCE DATA EXPUNGED]]》
Retro Striker he's a gravemind
Keep up the good work dude. The most disturbing thing for me in Halo was when The pillar of autumn was blowing up and Sgt Johnson hugged that elite he was fighting and grabbed that aliens tight booty cheeks
Ozark Fan Numba 1 ha
hol up
Actually, the forerunner-human war was or probably the biggest loss of human life
opinion before the video: evil aliens
after the video: evil aliens
The fact that breaking benjamin was playing at the end of this video made this video even better than it already was
That is actually just audio from the game. The game itself uses breaking Benjamin for the music on that specific level. Another awesome thing about the halo games
😮💨😮💨
Awesome new intro dude great content btw 👍🏻
Number 1: the fact that the intro elite stabs himself in the brain.
Number 15: burger king foot lettuce
ha ha ha very funny
xtout yes, yes it is
No. No thats not funny.
“50 billion people used to live here... now it’s a ghost town.”
Moggie 50 thousand* the official saying. Don’t disrespect cod 4 like that
@@harryv6363 Woosh
@@harryv6363 Fuck COD.
0:01 What that mouth do..... 👽
But that new intro is sick! 👌🏽
better close that mouth ma boi
Jango's Game Betas lol. I wish they still laughed like that. 😂
it isn't a laugh Donovan... it is a battle call out... wtf
I Like The Outro XD
Most Disturbing things about the UNSC (UNSC, not ONI)
Imagine a brute vs a krogan, that would be an epic fight.
On average, a brute would rip a Krogan apart very easily, but a Krogan higher up would have those psionic abilities or whatever, wait, did doom and other franchises rip that off from the resident evil movies?
Kristofer Mercer if they bring guns from their respective games, mass effect guns are jokingly more powerful than in halo.
Brute vs ork boy is what I want to see
@@callumkristofer7793 im Not Sure man, u gotta think about the fact that krogan have insane Regeneration capabilities along with Things like 5 hearts and idk how many lungs which gives them insane stamina, size wise i believe krogan and brutes are pretty similar so i think the krogan would have the upper Hand depending on how long the fight goes. Also if firearm are included Well good bye Brute because a shot of a claymore doesnt seem like a lot of fun and i Personally never liked any brute weapon except the Nade launcher and the Hammer.
@@beeftestosterone5519 You have to keep in mind that reapers pale in comparison to scarabs in destructive, and that they had to nerf and buff a lot of weapons for balancing in the games, if it were realistic, everything would die in 2 or 3 hits from plasma guns or the spiker would kill everything pretty fucking fast. Covenant weapons are super OP in the actual lore. and it's so obvious that the covenant would absolutely overpower everything in mass effect. The reapers need to gather together and activate a massive super weapon to destroy a planet. When humanity could do the same with one ship and a bomb. Humanity were much faster at destroying planets. And they were losing. The only advantage a Krogan would ever have is their magic.
What's funny to me is that the San Shyuum and the Covenant army remind me of the Roman Catholic church in a lot of ways. Their get-up, their faith, the way that the Prophets are holy, the fact that an innumerable amount of followers have no idea what their faith is even truly about, and to top it all off - Thel Vadam was basically the Martin Luther of the Covenant.
Lol
@@aeronautisch I don't recall saying anything humorous, why is it funny?
What a joke
@@zacharybergman6083 How is that a joke to you? It's literally just an observation...
This is actually a good observation.
Great video Xperia! I love all the info you give in your videos.
If I was to put them in order...
1. The lie
2. Brute violence
3. Glassing
I think the brute violence is more disturbing than glassing because it is intimate torture (to humans) and betrayal (to other Covies). It’s sadistic and disgusting behavior. It’s also face to face unlike glassing.
It's easily the most disturbing
Yo foxy 😂
Number 15... dead memes
Number 10, the last thing you'd want is a glassing beam stuck in your head, but that might be what you get
Do kno da wae
TheDraconianViking glassed planets have bad records
Number 11 your joke will die
Oh yeah mr. krab
In Star Wars lore (before it was taken away) during the Mandalorian War the Mandalorians glassed entire planets
That's my niggas right there.
Savage , that is the way
The best crossover
As did the Rakata (Tattooine being the most notable example of their cruelty), (don't know if this counts) General Grievous bombed the shit out of the planet Humborien at the height of Operation Durges Lance during the Outer Rim Sieges, during the Clone Wars, and the Galactic Empire was even more fond of this too.
When humans do it its based af
The Flood: Or how I learned to stop being sane and combine Lovecraft with the Borg.
Do the brutes eat flood??? I mean they should read the warning on the cereal box. Cause flooded flakes or floody loops have a big side effect, since they eat everything, they should watch what they eat from wal-mart
Ofcourse not they would get infected.
Or eaten by 'popcorn'.
Chris sonofPear ooh popcorn OH GOD ITS EATING ME ITS EATING ME
I don't think so
it would be like a pineapple.
Thanks for a new video Xperia
Great stuff!

Hello ther ^^
Thel 'Vadam Hello

I saw you as one of my fav CZcamsrs...but...now...
You ARE my fav
23 billion human lives lost?...
those are rookie numbers in Warhammer 40k universe.
That’s just the normal week in the imperium
well it does predate 40k by atleast 37.500 years so yeah
Dobro prezime ;)
Nemanja Lackovic that’s just 1% of star war human deaths
28 billion at the very least to be precise.
Is it weird that I personally would like to know how the weapons in Halo Lore work? Like the Covenant Carbine, or the Needler. Or John's original parents, or Sgt. Johnson's backstory
The Covenant would throw POWs into cells with starving jackals and watch them get torn apart.
Amazing video Xperia! I freaking love the new intro, its so godamn ICONIC!!! :)
your aunestly my favorite youtuber man. keep up the amazing content! Also i think the brutes should be at #1
Family Videos ive never seen honestly spelt like that before
TheCitedAviator sorry I'm tired.
Aunestly.... lol
What aunestly mean? Is that Spanish or something?
@@TheCitedAviator You had the chance to say "I've aunestly never seen honestly spelt like that before".
I'd love to imagine how the few brutes left with Truth on the Ark would have reacted if the Flood and the UNSC were defeated and the Halo rings were fired. When the brutes discovered the truth and Truth himself tried to console them. The brutes would scream "What you do!?... What we do?" Then they'd make a blood bath out of Truth and kill themselves. A brute's brutallity can only go so far but knowing that they just unwittingly killed all life in the galaxy would turn any sapient creature into a suicidal wreck.
The last one really hit me in the feels.
brought back that feeling of loss ODST gave me back in the day... 😢
Oh man, the last point is so fresh in my mind as I just finished re-reading Contact Harvest. I think you should do some episodes dedicated to some of the key novels, comparing the information from the books vs the games
I personally find what the Covenant did on Draco III to be really fucked up.
Glassing some of the planet and leaving the rest to be turned into a human hunting ground
Abraham Gomez Barron I know right?
Abraham Gomez Barron what is gassing?
RedxLilxSleepy Gassing is what the Nazis did, Glassing however is explained in this very video
Man, when you get into it, you really realise that the Halo series is a super clever commentary on war, especially the Iraq and Afganistan war.
"Yeah, war is horrible, but super-soldiers are awesome!"
-Probably whoever made Halo
humans
**exist**
brutes:
**mcdonalds for lunch bois?**
"Brutes are extremely sadistic"
*Faber would like to know your location*
Great video! I'm a massive fan of your content :D
A video idea if you have enough time is perhaps to make a timeline of the major events of the early human-covenant war leading up to Reach?
With all of the expanded universe content it's really hard to keep track of just how many colonies humanity actually lost and when.
big fan :)
Yeah I would like to see that
1: Sniper Jackals
2: Marksman Kig Yar
3: Shooty Bird Rodents
What a great video! Keep up the awesome Lore work @HiddenXperia!
COVENANT NATIONAL ANTHEM: "Killing In The Name" by Rage Against The Machine.
yo, HiddenXperia.
could you enlighten us on the top three horrible things the rebels has done?
This is the first video Ive watched in a while because of school. And I really wasnt expecting that intro. Its amazing😍
I just replayed that intro like five times. Fecking awesome stuff right there! Never get rid of that!
It takes hundreds of years after glassing to live on a planet again but wasnt Reach lush and fertile way before that?
"They outnumber us three to one!"
"Then we still have a chance."
“Then it is an even fight”
"All cruisers prepare for battle, burn their mongrel hides."
*"then it is an even fight, all crusier's fire at will, burn their mongrel hide."
*"Then it is an even fight."
Totally called #1 from the beginning! I loved Contact Harvest. Great video as always!
I really like the new intro and congrats on another great and entertaining video
Not hundreds of years. Reach was clearly recovering within decades at the latest.
Top most disturbing things about the Master Chief ? Really like these creepy facts videos, keep up the good work !
Mista Macho his armor jacks him off

Unggoy Merchant. What a fucking badass

awesome intro my man! your channel's improving 👍
The intro is really cool really brings out the bada** of your videos
He protecc, he attacc
but most importantly...
He have a quick snack.
Snacc*
The third one made me actually, shed a tear.
so whenever the arbiter found out that everything he and his people did was for a lie you really can't imagine how pissed and remorseful he and every other elite was when they realized every human they killed was for a lie.
Thought for a second you had some official material of a new elite.. damn that intro is awesome!

I would say the fact that there where groups and factions during the events of the ghosts of onyx that believed that all forunner creation was sacred including the flood and would let their ship crew become infected and would even in cases eat infection forms during this time
That intro is amazing
Liked and Subscribed (Again)
Love the new intro bro
that's one *ICONIC* ass intro
It is a very recent intro, how is it Iconic yet? maybe in like a year or two or more, but definitely not now lmao

I'm writing a halo creepypasta in which the human glassed victims come as demons and terrorize covenant soldiers...
Darth Vader Nice. :)
That's some Warhammer 40k kind of shit right there
What's the name of the creepypasta once it's out?
Megatronus Prime double
Ooo, I like it.
Okay, that’s creepy but cool. After watching tons and tons of your videos for probably almost a year now, on this video in particular I thought “Man, nothing beats that intro”
And then you mentioned it too
That new intro is SICK, love it
Could you please do one on the dimensions of Thel 'Vadam's backside? You have a perfect method of measuring with Halo 2 being a reference.
Uh, what?
Dear the Covenant,
Your life is a lie.
Sincerely,
A human
This sounds like something Johnson would say.
You missed a part with glassing where sometimes the ships gun fluctuates so areas get covered over top of with a layer of glass but the surface doesn't actually get affected by the blast. In Halo 5 one of the entries you can find on the glassed planet that you go to is of one of the surveying teams coming to one of these bubbles of un affected glassed over areas and seeing a dog chain that goes from a dog house underneath of the houses porch. And that the surveyor had to leave and take time off due to just seeing that, and he explains how stuff like that happens all the time and they'd often find bodies of people
In a few cases, I would expect Covenant-glassed planets to vaporize enough CO2 fixed biomass, fossil fuels, and limestone, plus deep sea methane ices, that a runaway greenhouse effect is kicked off, leading to rapid development of a pressure cooker Venusian hellscape that couldn't even be landed upon due to the intense heat and pressure (would love to see that effect depicted in a future game).
"Earth as a species"
*Us
Curios. Is the intro an Elite commiting suicide with two energy swords??
Yep
I love your intro so much
Yo love the new intro man I mean dam what hell you should do. a small fan fiction animation
What if the Covenant let the humans join them?
Is a video about that in Spanish is great
My view of the covenant hasn't change
TheXenomorphLord ! What's your view? Just curious....
Elite Ultra A truly awesome and well organized faction(not including the hole great journey is a lie) My favourite sci-if faction and for all the lies of the prophets they we're right to destroy humanity( or at least try) seeing what ONI has done is infinitely worse than anything the covenant has done
TheXenomorphLord ! Honestly, I agree besides all the messed up stuff they did I still find them to be really cool. Not the prophets though, I can't stand the prophets.
Elite Ultra Death to all of them!!!!
@@nicholassas4201 real shit I cant argue there lol ONI is FUCKED. Poor Ben Giraud is one of the many things they've done besides the spartan II program. I fucken love the covenant as well because well they are the villains but I can honestly see us as the covenant in the far future if we make it that far.... like the San Shyuum arent all that different from us... we are literally capable of the same or worse if given the same resources and time. Wed prob do worse
Loving the new intro
#1 is the worst because of things like that happening in human history. I love that you brought up lie’s, errors and mistranslations causing atrocities.
This is why I agree with Halsey when she says, "I myself find the concept of gods dangerous and primitive."
Is it funny I found blow me away, watching halo music videos lol
so did i xD
I do find it quite funny though that if the Covenant had eradicated humanity, they couldn’t use any of the Forerunner’s toys and would be instantly killed by most of their remaining defenses.
