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

*****FRAMEWORK*****First I will refute my opponents points, before going on to my own case. A forfeit should result in the loss of this debate. Both debaters shall remind kind and courteous to one another. *****OPPONENTS CASE***** A1: COVENANT BACKGROUND"The Covenant are a conglomerate of alien species bound by a strict religious belief in the "Great Journey. " Each race has their own attributes that give them an edge over the forces from Gears of War. Grunts, the lowest of the hierarchy, reproduce at a high rate. They supply a decent amount of cannon fodder, while still retaining the ability to use most Covenant weapons effectively. It should also be noted, while standing at roughly 5', they are typically stronger than average humans, and when not encumbered by their heavy suits, are quite agile. Jackals are a step above Grunts. Standing above 6' tall, these avian-like creatures have razor-sharp senses, far superior than regular humans. This gives them an uncanny aptitude for recon and marksmanship, making them ideal snipers. Additionally, they can serve as close-range support, wielding energy shield gauntlets that can withstand a squad of Marines' combined fire for brief periods. A sub-species of Jackal are Skirmishers, which are much faster and much ore agile, along with being more durable. Drones are also an additional species. They mainly serve as basic engineers, but can be used for combat in large swarms. They have the ability of flight, which allows them to attack their enemies en masse from above. Hunters are massive behemoths weighing in at over 10 tons. A hunter is actually a colony of Lekgolo worms that have taken form in armor. Their armor is extremely dense, resistant to all but the most severe attacks. They carry an arm shield that weighs 2 tons on its own, which the Hunter can swing at a surprisingly fast speed without any strain. On their other "arm" they have a mounted fuel rod gun, which fires large amounts of a highly radioactive and incendiary gel. Brutes are large 8'-10' tall ape-like monsters that have immense strength and speed. Depending on their rank, they can also wear power armor that has energy shielding of considerable strength. They also wield crude (by Covenant standards) but brutal weapons. Elites are the highest in military ranking. Each is trained for combat from the time they are born. All Elites are fast, very strong, and sport personal energy shields that have varying strength dependant on their rank. They are also known for their tactical cunning, as well as blind rage fueled by their obsession with honor. They can also use Active Camouflage, which effectively turns them invisible. I will not discuss the Prophet race, as they do not take on combat roles. Engineers play mostly an (you guessed it) engineer role. They have the strange ability to be able to disassemble, interface, and reassemble technology in very, very short periods of time. Though when in combat, they provide their allies with an over shield that recharges very quickly, as well as being strapped with bombs themselves, to avoid being captured. "It seems my opponent has taken the time for his first argument, to explain detail on the covenant. Given that there is nothing to really argue here, I will do the same and provide information for my team. THE COG. http://gearsofwar.wikia.com...The COG Represents a group of men and a few woman whose goal is to singlehandledly take on the locusts. Game play usually represents four main COG units who take on hordes upon hordes of enemies using state of the art weapons, attached with chain saws on them.

A2: SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY "Covenant technology is far superior than any of the Gears of War factions'. The Covenant put a heavy use on plasma, particle beams, and other DEWs (Direct Energy Weapons). The forces of Sera have never encountered such main-lined use of these weapons, and therefore lack the appropriate defenses. Even the weakest plasma weapons give their targets severe burns from near-misses. Low-powered ones like the Plasma Pistol and Plasma Rifle have been shown to even blow limbs off of bodies. Another important aspect is energy shielding. This is also fairly common, and is a major advantage. It allows soldiers to take hits without suffering any damage themselves, drastically improving their durability. "I feel this argument is rather Un significant. So if anyone here reading this has played the game (halo) and finished the series, you would know that the covenant (mostly) were defeated. They were defeated vastly by the technology that was currently known to humans, which were regular automated weapons. Now when we take the gears of war weapon arsenal into account, we see a lot higher technology employed by the humans. Chainsaw guns, Hammer of Dawn (can bring a powerful crashing into and destroying most anything). Given that in this fight, I get locusts on my side, we can take into account brumak weapons, barges, all the massive artillery that is provided by the fighters. If covenant technology is so easily defeated by normal human weapons, what makes you think that they will stand a chance against the far superior technological aspects of the COG and the locusts? ! ****MY CASE ****C1: NUMBERSThe odds definitely won't be in the Covenants favor in this fight. The covenant attack fleet that is largely seen in the halo series is about 15 Miles long. Yes it is big. A s hip that size could hold roughly3-4 hundred thousands troops. . http://www.bungie.net... Let's look towards the COG/Locusts. The remainder of the COG introduced in the series is roughly about 600,000 troops strong. . http://gearsofwar.wikia.com...Now this is a scarce and dying human race as it is. Let's implement the LOCUSTS and the Lambent, which has take over the majority of the earth in this game. The locusts make up literally over 3 million attacking forces against the cog. . http://gearsofwar.wikia.com...Now that they are both added together, how can we presume that a simple attack fleet could take on both armies in their entirety? C2: The COG are Beasts. This is implemented in the story line. Four COG members often will show down hundreds upon thousands of Locusts at a time, without even seeming to break a sweat. The main sign of covenant luck we in the halo saga, is the arbiter doing pretty well against the heretics, IE his own brethren. Grunts, Elites, Hunters, they all fall so easily as evidenced through the game. The main four COG character however being so adept in their training processes have simply no problem eliminating their foes. Who is to say that they would not do the same against the covenant? The COG are almost invincible, while the covenant has a wide span of weaknesses, that are expanded in the Halo series. It is Evident that The Cog, and the Locusts could easily take the covenant. ****CONCLUSION**** I have successfully refuted all of my opponents points, as well as provided my own case and reasoning as to why The covenant would lose in a battle against these foes. I have provided plenty of sources and information as evidence of this.
