Has anyone ever notice that the covenant never run out of ammo with their weapons. I've played and had a jakal shoot 20 full charged plasma pistol shots at me and never running out of ammo. Once you think about it, it's not fair to us that the covenant never have to stop and pick up a new weapon.

They do that for AI reasons. If a elite ran out of ammo, how would the AI respond? Would it stand their trying to shoot you? So I think is because Bungie did not have enough time to complete that aspect of the game.

Its not because Bungie didnt have time, its because thats a bad idea. Tell me a game where the enemies run out of ammo. If yu can think of one, i bet it sucks. But grunts do reload their needlers.

Yeah well far far away on a covenant planet right now the covies are playing right now and they're playing the popular game Destroy all Humans Melee and they have to kill Master Chief and he runs out of ammo so it's easy to kill him.

I think that bungie should have made hand to hand combat in halo where you could punch the covies and kick their skulls in.

You ever considered that the Covenant could be recharging their weapons as they fight? Or change the battery? I mean we dont know how its done, so it could be possible!

I doubt it but it's possible. Bungie should have made it so you could change the batteries on the plasma weapons.

I dissagree, I like the fact that the Covenant weapons are advanced beyond our understandings, makes you realise just how much better they are than us!
