Do they even have a nuke in their arsinal? I think the covenant are way too advanced for Nukes and Nuclear weaponry, and if they are why was it that Buck's (I Think) first reaction to the Slip Space Jump is "the Covenant just set of a nuke!??" If he has even been paying attention to the war, and the Covenant in general wouldnt he know about their weaponry?
BTW in the real world
Im wathing X-Play and they keep saying ODST has been pushed back till early 2010 is this true?
X Play lies. Bungie would have informed us if ODST would be pushed till later.
As for the nukes... The Covenant does not use nuclear weapons even though they certainly have technology for 'em. Brutes have no problems with stealing them though... they just never get a chance to use them (as happened in Halo:GoO)
Covies most likely don't bother with nukes as they're pretty much useless in space (no shockwaves, unless the nukes goes off within some 1km (or so) from a ship, it doesn't do any damage. As for planetary bombardment, Covies either prefer to go close combat or they simply glass the planet. Energy for energy weapons is cheaper... or at least easier than manufacturing nukes and missiles for those.
As for antimatter in slipspace rupture... what? The slipspace rupture causes EMP and a shockwave (interestingly, entering to atmosphere does not cause either one, only jumping IN atmosphere). There is no antimatter involved...
