People bitch about 343i not explaining the Covenant in Halo 4 but Bungie did the exact same thing in Halo: CE and didn't explain their motivations until 2-3 years after.

because it didn't overwrite/contradict anything that was established previously, and it wasn't the focus of the story (but this isn't relevant to the argument).
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

The only reason that anybody bothers to point at Halo 1 and say 'yeah but Bungie didn't give a reason either' is to try to excuse Halo 4 doing the same. Except Halo 1 didn't have to give a reason, given the Covenant were less of a story-based enemy and more of an obstacle for the player to fight through to get to the real antagonist, the Flood. They kick off the game by showing up and wrecking shit, then act as a placeholder bad guy used to keep the player actually playing until the real story begins. (That, and storytelling in games wasn't up to today's standards anyhow).Halo 4, however, already has the Covenant as an ingrained staple to the plot; why they're attacking, especially after they had a ceasefire with the UNSC, is rather important this late in the story. They're more than just a placeholder enemy until the Didact and his goons show up at this point, so 343 should be expected to tell us why they're doing what they're doing.

You can't just take specific quotes out of context and tell me I'm wrong.The reason these don't apply to Halo 4 is because Halo 4 did overwrite things that were in the previous games(Halo 3). There was no in-game reason for us to be facing the Covenant.Just because the books cover something major like that doesn't excuse the inconsistency or lack of communication.
These = pluralMore than one
Yes, I know the first point isn't in-game and I'm not denying that, but that's not the current discussion at hand.
I am so confused. Is this canon? If so, from what?
