I mean really-

since Halo CE. Bungie has only really shown human frigates, no other class of ship. In the Reach trailer they show one, in the ODST cutscene they show two. In halo 3 they show 3 (in multiplayer they show another in sandtrap and two on plaques on orbital). In halo 2 they show the "In Amber Clad" And thats about it.... Ever since the Pillar of Autumn Blew up, Bungie has been obsessed with Frigates, Seeing as Reach is a Naval Base, I want to see a variety of Human ships: ie: Cruisers, destroyers, Carriers, AWACS (you never know).

I dont know, maybe im alone on this one, what do you guys want to see?

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

There were no Frigates in H1 (it was a Halcyon class cruiser) but I agree with you. Id also like to see more Covenant ship variety.

If you read i clearly stated that AFTER it was blown up, bungie became obsessed, never did i state that there was one in Halo 1

and i was talking about human ships, but then again new covie ships would be interesting, as of yet there is no such thing as a covie frigate in game, yet one exists in the books...

To be quite honest, my opinion on this is a little complex. Bottom line is that, should ships be necessary to show in the game that I would, yes, like to see them in all shapes and sizes as appropriate.

If I recall correctly, destroyers and frigates look almost identical. Destroyers are simply thicker-armoured and more well-armed. So that's a nice way Bungie gets to cut down on work, if my memory serves well. Otherwise, the problem does lie in making massive models for this -- we're talking almost a kilometre (or more than a kilometre) each human ship, and significantly more when it comes to Covenant vessels.

Don't mean to nitpick but you said "Since Halo CE" meaning that would include H1 as well. If you wanted to say that they started getting Frigate-obsessed in H2, you should have said "Ever since Halo 2..."

Good eye, but i meant since meaning after, since bungie finished CE before its release. bungie started work on H2 before or just after the release of H2 so...

SINCE CE (meaning after release), Bungie (not halo)... {heres an example of something similar: since the accident i cant feel my leg, i stopped feeling my leg AFTER the accident happened, not during) Still i should've worded that better.

yeah destroyers are just big versions of frigates and cruisers. but in fall of reach there is one new covenant ship it was big and it had a huge laser its was like a sniper rifle it would take out ships from a distance. it was destroyed by the pillar of autumn in the end.

Die? Didn't You Know? SPARTANS NEVER DIE!!!

Yea have to agree with you on that, We only seen Halycon's and Frigates in Halo but in Halo Wars we seen a Cruiser. thars the only time. It would be nice to see a UNSC Prowler.
