Ok, i dedicated this thread strictly to covenat weapons. no other weapons, not UNSC wepons... just coventat....and maybe some new ideas for the covenat vehicles... i for one think the wraiths boost should be taken away and it should be less bulky. becuase the Scorpian tank doesnt have a boost, and its sleeker and skinner...if the wraith is the answer to the tank..they should be as similar as possible. ok now for guns...i want something with the punch of a overcharged plasma pistol in rapid firing capablitities (well the length of the shot anyway) of a brute shot but the distance of a plasma rifle. also i want something that u can dual weild...so 4 shots a round...bounces once...takes the over sheild down in one hit and can be dul weilded...any thoughts on my gun?

PS...if you think its really crappy its cuz its late (well actually its only 1 in the morning, but in my defence im sick and i didnt sleep last nite...)

Just as a side note...someone please tell me how to spell covenate...

-The Lunchlady

It's Covenant.

how about something like a plasma shotgun? That is the one unsc weapon that does not have a covenant counterpart.

undefined i agree with being able to use all of the weapons and vehicles available. I also think that they should allow the Master Chief to have invisibility like the COVENANT too. I had more fun playing as them as well...the only disappointment was the game felt too short and the ending really was a let down. The storyline was awesome and I really loved the idea as using the Hunters and one of the boards I had to "hit" them to move and fight with me. Hopefully Halo 3 will have the Master Chief and Arbiter fighting side by side.

I was thinking the same thing. A plasma shotgun type weapon would be fun. Maybe they consider the plasma sword the equivalent.

You people think everything the two races have should be alike, don't you? Everyone, I think we need more contrast in the two races. Think about it:
Humans evolved out of apes, and covanent technology is based off of forrunner weaponry. Very, very different.
Lunchlady, you think that everything the covanent and humans have should be as alike as possible? No, they shouldn't. As said above, that would be a very freak coincidence. Our scorpion tank and our wraiths are based off of two totally different ideas.
Human Idea: Fire fast, unavoidable rockets at your target and pelt them with annoiences while your at it. It may move slow, but packs a whole hell of a punch.
Covanent Idea: Fire super powerful globs of plasma at the target, blasting things everywhere around it. Then, if still alive, use a quick speed boost to run them all over, getting mostly all of their hides with it's huge area.

A covanent shotgun? Too appearant of a remake. Howabout a covanent flamethrower, such as something spilling out globs of plasma.

i think that the COVENANT (thanks Dark Eagle and Mertogrrl) and the humans shouldnt be as alike as possible. you got me all wrong. i think that most of the guns Bungie designed has a counter part (and i also think the sword is the counter part to the shot gun, but thats a different thread) to make the sides equal seeing how it adds to the drama and suspence of the story line. i just think simillar ideas should be simmillar, other wise it would favor one side to much. which of course would set up the underdog story plot (which is what i think bungie was trying to do in the commercials when the prophet said "no power has ever withstood our might" making the gamers side more with Earth because Americans usually side with the underdogs of a story and the intended gamers for halo were American, or so i assumed) but im getting side tracked. COVENANT and UNSC forces should be similar but with diferent strengths and weaknesses. as G65 The Strange one kindly pointed out the differences in the TANKS. but they do have the same concept. blowing crap up. though they are 2 differed styles (yes i know i said differed thats a word look it up), they still do the same thing. Like a while back, when i was 6 or so, like um...1998, there was a cage fighting called the Ultimate Fighting Championsips, UFC's, people went in and fought. some were kick boxers others were karate masters. some were wresters others were street fighters. my point to all this is as follows: they had different styles of fighting but they still fought. same applys to this subject: the COVENANT and UNSC forces FIGHT, just differently. and thats what i think bungie was going for, counter parts with its own strengths and weaknesses. ok im almost done...im sorry its so long...last example. from what i hear the shot gun and sword are counter parts. SWORD: Short range, no projectile one hit kill depending of where u hi them. able to lunge and melee. SHOTGUN:Short Range, dozens of smaller projectiles, one hit kill depending on range and where u hit them. the only difference is ones a projectile and one lunges. they both have weaknesses. there based off the same one-hit-kill-short-range-weapon concept but they vary depending on the backround of society that made it. ok now im done. sorry its so long, but i have firm belives. i didnt mean to offend anyone or seem like im taking a hostile tone. it wasnt intended like that. any ideas on my belifes?

I think they should be as different as possible because we are humans and they are aliens

They should be as different as possible true they are using weapons to counter them thats in the stroy but fighting styles should be different the coveneant(spelt wrong I know) are all freakin scared like grunts while the marines keep their well organised fasion

:mad: They should be as different as possible true they are using weapons to counter them thats in the stroy but fighting styles should be different the coveneant(spelt wrong I know) are all freakin scared like grunts while the marines keep their well organised fasion

I wish that in halo 3 that they show stuff that is actualy in the game. If you watch the videos they put into halo 1 if its a newer version. THOSE videos were awesome but then the took it out. NOW that is Bull

They should be as different as possible true they are using weapons to counter them thats in the stroy but fighting styles should be different the coveneant(spelt wrong I know) are all freakin scared like grunts while the marines keep their well organised fasion

Yes, but the elites dont run...the hunters dont run...the buggers dont, the brutes dont...ect. ect. but if u stuck an 8 year old child in the midst of a batle, he'd run to. thats how i see grunts.

technically to describe alien its "forieng intruder..." and since no one owns the vaccuum of space...niether are alien...we just see them as alien to us just as much as they see us as alien to them. its all about point of view.

Something wrong there Phoenyx?

true no one owns the large expanse of spance but those bloody covernant are in our system so they are alien

true no one owns the large expanse of spance but those bloody covernant are in our system so they are alien

well...yeah but whats "our space" if no one owns space?

-The Lunchlady

I think that from earth to the moon is the radius, and the area of that circumference formed by the raduis from earth to moon is "our" space.

Just kind of a random thought, probably not true, but kind of logical if you think about it.

'Our space' really has no definition. It's like the 'interests' of our country. They're just whatever the leaders decide :)
