i readed somewhere that shadows have a central pilot's seat, 2 crew on sides and a rear gunner.... i think this vehicle will rule the Earth...
but may be it doesn't support the boooooOOoOoOoOOoost... it's more like a tank, i think. 4 players... 1 pilot...2 dual plasma rifles on sides and a rear gunner... i mean... hell

go here
http://www.bungie.net/Games/Halo/Gallery.aspx?Gallery=PreXbox &page=4
the shadow is on the third row right in the middle. it obviously will go through some changes but it is going to be pretty much this.
the long covenant things many people have gotten them confused with are the Covenant Creeps.
The shadow is a 3/4 man (not sure which) vehicle with a shade gun turret

heres a better site

To me it looks more of a purple with a reddish tinge to it than blue.

I'm 99.9% positive that the Shadow is coming to Halo 2 and it WILL be drivable. It is like the covenant warthog. It holds a driver, a passenger, and a gunner. It will be an awsome vehicle for CTF matches.

i presume you saw the drawn shadow... it have 2 frontal seat and a rear gun... but i know that it was an ald project affected by changes, so i'm 85% sure about 2 side passengers... an the wings yeah!

The thing about the shadow is the turret on top is a shade turret right well thats all fine and dandy for multiplayer but what if you want to drive the shadow and the marines dont know how to use the turret in single player.....and would the marines know how to drive stuff like the shadow..... BTW whoever said that the pelican is drivable is wrong becuz bungie said in one of their updates that they upgraded the look of the controles in the cokpit of the pelican but you still cant drive it.....

The shadow will have 4 spots for people to be. One right passenger, one left passsenger, one driver, and a gunner. It will most likely be red, and driveable. The reson why they have another passenger is to make it different from the warthog.

I think it will most likely be purple, that being the Covenants vehicles colours and all......

If anybody has seen Star Trek Nemesis. the shadow looks a bit like the vehicle that Picard and Data use too get out of the ship of that clone guy.

you can drive drop ships because theres a picture of master chief driving a pelicin

Bungie has already told us that we can not fly the pelican. The picture you saw was from a cut scene.

It has a driver seat and a pasenger seat. It also has a plasma turret on top. We don't know if it has boost.

Maybe Elites and such will board warthogs, throw you out, then jump off and fight you, because they wouldnt want to drive one of "our" vehicles, but apparently they will steal ghosts from you...


No, that was a multiplayer pic. The MC's armor is NOT tan.

There is no definite information on the Shadow, we know that they were originally going to have it in Halo, but scrapped it. They have not released any information on it being in Halo 2 or not. Even if it is in the Halo 2 E3 2k3 demo trailer (I didn't see it), the game is subject to change and it might not make it even if it originally was going to be in. So talk of it having boost is a little premature as they haven't mentioned it at all and we don't know if it will be in Halo 2. I personally think they shouldn't have it, it is way to similar to the warthog, pretty much the same things except purple. They should make covenant and human vehicles unique to eachother, so maybe have something with the same purpose, but not exactly the same.

Why not? If you can steal a vehicle then they should too. They might not steal human vehicles but they could still drag you out and beat you down. In the 2003 E3 demo a brute throws those marines out. Seems posible to me.

this
is a concept art for the shadow. as you can see it has a turret position a driver position and a passanger position. i'm 100% positive that this will be in halo2 becuase the ATV's counter is the ghost so the warthog needs a counter and that will be the shadow. the creep (covenant transport bus) will be countered by a warthog variation (which has a elongated "trunk" and will feater what looks like canvis weather shield over the troops its hualing). the phantom is a better counter for the pelican becuase of its size and weapon power.
