The covie shadow doesn't seem that scary to me, yes it most likely will be quick
but it has a shade turrent on it, how crap is that, in halo you could dodge the shots and it doesn't fire very faster compared with the warthog gun.

Please somebody correct me and prove that the shadow is going to be good

I think it can carry 4 people and can go pretty fast so you can get a team of people to the enemy base in CTF and attack in larger numbers. Plus its just gonna look so cool. Maybe they have made shade guns better? though they can do a lot of damage

Maybe they sped up the shade projectiles (Like they did to the ghost) and made it fire rapidly. Who knows?

shade turrents only do damage if your enemy stands still... :)
I think the shadow should have twin-plasma cannons like the ghost and banshee

Maybe give it a variant of the shade turret, where it's two light plasma cannons, as on the ghost, mounted to the side of the bubble instead? Kinda like a Covenant Light Machinegun.

unlike the warthog, like the ghost and banshee, I can see the shadow having the boost feature. so in CTF i'll be in the passenger seat gloating "so long losers!"
that will be a huge advantage, you might even be able to outrun tracking rockets!!

How do you know how anything works, besides the stuff they've told us? Have YOU played Halo 2? NO. So how can you make the decision that it "isn't that good"

Right, well if it is a shade gun, I am not to worried, even if it is not, one rocket launcher later you have four dead aliens instead of one.

Argh. Some of you should play Halo PC. Banshees are going to be mp vehicles, and shades pwn banshees.

Also, keep in mind the vehicles are destructible, and the Shade, with its good power, will be good at that.
