The Covenant from Halo could defeat the COG, Locusts, and Lambent from Gears of War

*****FRAMEWORK*****First I will address the reason that I feel I have won this debate, and then I will hit both my opponents arguments, and rebuttals on mine. *****VOTERS***** CONDUCT: I feel I have displayed superior conduct in this debate. 1. My opponent has addressed this debate with an approach of "Attempt to overload the audience with a buttload of information". This is both annoying, and hard to follow. In my opponent's last continuation, he literally just overloaded his ENTIRE response with irrelevant quotes from the books. After reading through each one, we realize that absolutely none of them bear any significance to the debate at hand. Not only this but my opponent continues to do this several times throughout the debate, for example, by posting the quote from the energy sword, he basically wastes over 1000 characters pasting useless info.SOURCES: 2. MY opponent attempts to overload the audience with the same sources over and over again, to give the appearance of a lot of sources. The information he posts from within these sources all contain semantics. Loopholes, trying to create arguments that are impossible for the opponent. For example, several time throughout this debate, my Opponent states several time and posts sources for the Covenant glassing planets. This is an attempt to put forth an argument that cannot be refuted. But my opponent doesn't source to why the covenant do not do this to every single other planet, they attempt to destroy. Why even deploy ground troops in the first place, if glassing is so easy? It obviously is not. This counts against both his conduct and his sources within the debate.Also Source points should go to the player who provides the best actual evidence for each argument. Posting random pieces of information that are irrelevant, is just an attempt to gloat and show off, where as they hold no actually pertinence to the debate.CONVINCING ARGUMENTS:3. You will vote for me here too, as I have stayed with the framework of this debate. I have been kind and courteous to my opponent, while offering up plenty of rebuttals to his arguments, in a structured, organized manner. I have not attempted to use semantics, and have offered Valid Rebuttals to each of my opponent's arguments. This actually only started out as one argument, but my opponent has introduced several new arguments through the debate in later rounds. If this is acceptable, the I am permitted to do so as well. SPELLING AND GRAMMAR:4. This one is pretty obvious given my opponents lack of using the spell check button and reviewing arguments before pressing submit. Please read through both arguments, you will notice my S/G is almost flawless. ****MY OPPONENT'S CASE****SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY"I treuly am confused by the "order" of events you see happening in the Halo universe. Maybe I should clarify it for you.1. The Covenant found Harvest, and after the first Contact went wrong, and the soon-to-be Prophets discovered who the Humans really were, they started a war (Note that the Prophets did not share the true information, and rallied ENTIRE empire to kill the Humans in which they labled Heretics. The war with the humans actually brought them out of a "dark age" that they had currently been in)2. 27-28 years of war between the Covenant and the Humans, spanning over hundreds of planets3. At the very last month of the war, the Prophets decided to move the Brutes into the dominant role, which angered the Elites. Soon the Brutes started a genocidal campaign against the Elites, cuasing the Covenant Civil War (The Great Shcism). This was amplified by the Elites soon discovering the Prophets had lied all along. These elites (The Covenant Seperatists) joined forces with the Humans."I already know and understand this. This, dear audience, is another official view of my opponent filling up his arguments space with useless information. Rather than actually attempting to refute my argument on the humans defeat of high Charity. My opponent is attempting to confuse and manipulate the audience rather than actually addressing my contention. Thus Please consider this a dropped argument, and extend it through the debate. "I am also ashamed at Con after reviewing his own source for the information. Not only was he taking things out of context and mix-matching events in the Halo Timeline, he is, seemingly with intention, leaving information out."The war was instigated by the Covenant, whose Prophets discovered that humans were directly related to the Forerunners. In order to keep the Covenant intact, war was declared against humanity. Over the next few decades, the Covenant, with superior firepower, tactics, and technology, overpowered humanity on hundreds of worlds, including heavily defended strongholds such as Reach. The Humans would only win scattered and costly victories, most of which the Spartans contributed to immensely""Pro's arguments here completely lacks any sense. He is stating something that I as the con have already stated. But this in no way addresses the fact that the Covenant had the advantage in the beginning of the war. Con must prove that the Covenant could have won the war. Is only response is that the elites broke off from the war. Again, you can cross reference my point about covenant lies, defeating troop moral. What is there to say that when fighting against the GOW factions, the Covenant won't run into the same problems with their troops? The covenant being in their prime has nothing to do with it. "Personal. Energy. Shielding. You can't cut through energy shielding. This makes the entire function of a chainsaw irrelevant in a H2H fight against a Brute or Elite."Aha, but you fail to realize that not all covenant have Personal Energy shielding. Elites do, but it is fallible. Also given that the Elite's are likely going to side with the GOW factions after hearing of the betrayals of the prophets, this is only going to benefit the GOW factions. ENERGY SWORD DUAL WIELDING"No need to worry Con!http://www.halopedian.com......Allowing them to not only hold weapons and still have mêlée, but they have dual blades. These blades also will have the same effects as the Energy Sword, as they only differ in size."During game play you see no such evidence as to covenant having the ability to duel wield. Thus this source is completely fallible. Also the source provided says absolutely nothing about wielding guns, along with it.****MY CASE**** PROPHETS BETRAYALThis point is completely dropped throughout the debate, please extend it.COG's SUPERIOR STRENGTHMy opponent has not addressed the fact that the COG with four members, can effectively take down hoards of enemies between four single humans, against a bunch of scared grunts, mindless brutes, and weak jackals.We are not even comparing this with all of the other factions.BRUMAKSGinormous Locusts that can destroy the equivalent of three scarabs if they so wished, by themselves.REAVERSEasily will take down All aircraft as is evidenced by the video games. BERSERKERSCan easily rush into a group of elites, brutes, grunts, and Jackals, demolishing them no problem. In fact just one of these Berserkers could take down squads of these enemy forces. THERONSThe torque bows High volume explosiveness completely destroys all energy shields. The covenant will not stand a chance against these.BOOMERSCan quickly eliminate the larger forces, such as hunters, and provide the heavy artillery. CORPSERSGinormous spiders that can trampled and devour the foes in it's way. There are many more. Given my opponent cannot and has not proven that any of the covenant can destroy these enemies, we have no reason to believe the covenant to be successful.****CONCLUSION**** Going over and responding to each link seems meaningless, as the bulk of it is addressed in my rebuttal, and most of it is useless garbage anyway. I have provided votes above. Based on all of the information I have provided I strongly urge a CON vote. Thankyou!
