yeah, i have put some thought into new covenant races. I havent had any yet, as you all definately noticed, although i still am questioning using one. with the different factions of the covenant, and the humans, and the future of the story with the ark, i don't think a new race will be necessary. but i myself would like to see one or two additions to the halo universe, and therefore am instituting a anytime suggestion box for those of you who may come up with any ideas on the subject. and even though there aren't any new covenant at the moment, there is at least one that i will use undoubtedly, although i cannot mention it now. and there will be new flood forms based on the other covenant creatures, ie: drones, grunts, etc. and you'll see some sweet sentinal like machines from the ark itself...the rest is to be written.
