I say none of your options. The Longsword fighter is a support bomber piloted by the AI and used as needed by the AI. They will fight off Seraphs(should they make it into Halo 2) and will help by dropping bomb loads on heavy ground based targets like the artillery inside last year's E3 demo.

Yeah they were only mentioned inside the books. Basically they are a tear dropped shaped fighter craft with shields. Fast, agile, and a pain in the ass. A single Seraph can give two Longswords a run for their money.

Nooooooo
Serephs are like fighters, they're not that huge.
What your thinking of is Covenant Cruisers, they're starships and much bigger than any fighter

Seraphs arn't teardrop shaped. They are angular and such. Like the Longsword except purple and really angular, almost like a triangle

It says not only inside The Fall of Reach, but in The Flood and First Strike as well that the Seraph fighter is tear drop shaped. Read more carefully nickolai15.

I was thinking more along the lines of how it worked on Streets of rage on the mega drive when you call up the cops, kinda like laying down covering fire

maybe in some cutscenes you'll actually see seraphs and longswords, battling each other.

Well in the beginning you will probably be riding in one. Because I have heard that the game will start where the First Strike began. At least that's what I have heard.

I think that if u can fly the thing in space, then it will not be halo, flying it on earth is taking a big risk, BUT stratigic striks like shown on the demo is gonna be in it, u probably cant call upon it wheneva in doubt and nearly dead, but when u need to, u might be able to!
