Thanks for the welcome, gaiz.   Good point about the Covenant only being usable in MP, so....that's good. Nonetheless, I don't like all the green on the marines either...but maybe I'm being overly fastidious.

I'm an Aussie boy-can anyone hazard a guess as to when it'll come out here?

Mmmm...tasty.  

In all the screenshots I've seen, the Covies looks like an army of plum trees.  Will we be able to change their colours back to good old red/blue/orange/gold/rainbow?
