  • Poll [11 votes]: Should there be any type of beam weapon?
Subject: Covenant Beam Weapon?

When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands buttered side down. Therefore, if a slice of toast is strapped to a cat's back, buttered side up, and the animal is then dropped, the two opposing forces will cause it to hover, spinning inches above the ground. If enough toast-laden felines were used, they could form the basis of a high-speed monorail system.

some kind of electromagnetic weapon.like it disables your shield (or hurts it very badly very fast) and it can kill vehicles engines(not perm). Either that or an electromagnetic sticky grenade..ohh imagine sticking that on a warhog thats barreling towards you and your near a cliff...the moment it sticks all power is lost to the hog (power steering and brakes) and you hop outta the way and it rolls on off...

It would be like the beam on the level Halo. It would be mounted on a "covenant worthog". It would be like the rockethog, only it travels faster than a rocket, and is weaker.

yea but tell me it would not be awesome to throw a grenade into a base packed with spartans and have it drop all their shields(bigger blast radius since it does no kill damage) and you go in and mow em down with something like dual pistols. 2 bullets per sparten or less for head shots.

Some of the Covenant ships already have 'beam weapons'. Apparently more powerful than their plasma torps even...

The Forerunner used beam weapons (Sentinals) which might explain where the Covenant got theirs.

The Covenant already have pulse lasers on their warships. Maybe they could use them in ground engagements.
