The Covenant are a technologically advanced species that make heavy use of plasma-based weaponry and various models of flying ships, such as Ghosts and Banshees. They are classified into Grunts, Jackals, Elites and Hunters. Although simple weapon fire is often enough to take out Grunts, explosive weapons are useful for defeating the armor and shielding of more advanced types of Covenant.
The Flood

The Flood are a race of parasites that infect hosts and can take over their bodies. Flood exist in vast numbers and come in both carrier and infection forms.

Sentinels

Sentinels are a robotic guardian species controlled by the game's chief villain, 343 Guilty Spark. Sentinels attack with beam weaponry that quickly destroys your shielding. Although their primary purpose is to contain The Flood, Guilty Spark will command them to attack anything that stands in the way of its objectives.
Parasite Humans

When The Flood takes over a human, such as a member of your Marine forces, they will undergo changes in their nervous system and can no longer be saved. Although they retain their former weapons and capabilities, you'll need to kill the infected before they have the opportunity to spread The Flood into new territories.
