Has anyone noticed that the codenames for the Covenant vehicles are all undead creatures?
Ghost
Banshee
Wraith
Shade
Phantom
?Stealth Space ship from book?

While Humans are animals.
Warthog
Scorpion
Pelican
Rabbit(ATV?)

Interesting, no?

Now the covenant need Zombies, Vampires, Revenants, Lichs, ghasts, ghouls, and Poltergeists.

Ohh... Allrighty. Maybe Covies have "undead" names cause they think that theres to better race. oh wait, did humans just call their vehicles that? Like humans made the names? Could be..

I also believe we gave the Covies their names. They came up with "Covenant" themselves but we humans called them Grunts for the sounds they make, Elites for their strength and rank in their army, and Jackals because of their appearance. I don't why we call them Hunters. Maybe it's because we are "hunted" by them. You don't hear a Marine saying "Let's go hunt some Hunters," do ya?

I think the manual said that we came to know them as the Covenant so they didn't name themselves.But I do agree that we humans named them by rank and whatnot.

Billy the Grunt, that's great! Yes some of us have noticed that and have even guessed what the new covie vehicles would be named. We came up with some weird ones, Joey did we ever try to name the new human vehicles?

In the books, they have their own names. Don't know if bungie made them up though.

The Covenant answer to the Longsword is called the Scarab... I think. That's not a dead creature... or is it?

  • 04.21.2004 3:15 PM PDT

wow....... this is amazing.

who knows maybe because the humans called the vehicles that because they bring death to the humans and the covenant do have a religuos alien called the Prophet and all the vehicles names like the covenat mortar tank the wraith that brings great suffering it sounds like and the humans it is probably how powerful they are and the speed

Wrong, the Covenant fighter is the Seraph, no the Scarab.

A Seraph is : "A celestial being having three pairs of wings." according to dictionary.com

It seems to me that the Covenant vehicles are named after various ghosts and spectres because they are the ghosts of the Forerunner civilization.

During a war you always give your enemies units various call signs that are similar to each other. If another race entered the fight in a 3 way fight they would be given completely different type of call signs.
