Subject: Covenant Equivalent

Proud director of Black Plasma Studios. Check us out on Youtube!

Which weapons, vehicles, or about anything would you like to see a Covenant equivalent of?

What I mean by that is take for instance the BR. The equivalent is the Carbine, even if it is a bit different. Sniper - Beam Rifle. Scorpion - Wraith.

Which things would you like to see have an equivalent?

A Mauler is close enough.

A Covenant Missile Pod would be pretty cool.

Sword, Gravity Hammer, Mauler.





I would like a Covenant equivalent to the Assault Rifle. We had one in Halo 1 (Plasma Rifle) but not the other games.

I'd like to see a flame thrower equivalent. Something that actually shoots like plasma, like a large blow torch or something. That would be awesome.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Agreed, carrying one plasma rifle in halo 2 and 3 is a waste of time where as in Halo:CE the plasma rifle was a powerfull equivalent. I would love to see the assault rifle matched.

I pick up the PR whenever I can. PR + melee kills quicker than AR + melee. However, for Reach, I'd like to be able to kill people with the PR without being required to melee. Akin to Halo: CE.

That isn't an equivalent. That is a want under a different category. I would like an equivalent to everything that has no equivalent:

Spartan Laser: Not the scarab gun because that won't be in matchmaking

Assault Rifle: The Plasma Rifle in Halo2 and Halo3 is the SMG equivalent along with the Spiker.

SMG: If the PR becomes a AR equivalent and no Brutes in Reach then we need a new equivalent to the SMG.

Rocket Launcher: Either a new equivalent to RL or a better Fuel Rod Gun. Halo 3 one is total crap unless in close range.

Missile Pod: Would be interesting to equivalent to that but not exactly needed unless UNSC vs Covenant game or an all Covenant style map(Midship, Assembly) that could use the Missile Pod.

Warthog: Bring back the Spectre but with a better turret and better boost.

For the story side of campaign(if used) or if they use them in Multiplayer-

Shortsword: Need a Covenant Equivalent.

Vulture: Yea, you get it

My beat downs turn into burns.

There needs to be something equal to the energy sword. In the original before CE there was like a katana looking thing.

I would like to see a human equivalent of the Plasma Pistol and maybe a Covenant equivalent of a missile pod, something purple-y :D

Perhaps like a really strong Covenant weapon? I say either a Spartan laser or Missile pod. Something that fired a big blue beam or something.

Fuel Rod gun, which is suprisingly under-used in Halo's campaign.

Read about my gaming here.

Why do you need equivalents? The only thing they would be usefull for are if it's a multiplayer match where it's one against another, and they have their own set of weapons. That way they would be balanced.

Shotgun still wins against covenant equilvalents, though.
Carbine wins against the battle rifle. Beam rifle wins against Snipr rifle. There will never be an equivalent. Only something that matches a weapon.

Everyone knows a Carbine beats a BR, but people use a BR over the Carbine because it is easily handled and you don't have to pull the trigger of the BR as much as the Carbine.

The game would be a mess with so many equivalents. Look at Halo 3 now, it has only a few needed weapons.

The spartan 's answer to a scarab? Maybe the vulture from halo wars and they're both moving bases.
