Subject: Covenant Equivalent

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I'd like to see a mongoose equivalent! :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.


How about a pulse laser from The fall of reach that was on covenet ships make it into a weapon that charges a bit longer then the laser but has a lock on like missile pod. It a turret and has a long cool down time.

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.

You hate changes, right?

The Ghost is nowhere close to the mongoose. I think you are mixing up size and ability. That is like me saying the pistol is equivalent to the mauler.

Plasma Pistol with Scope :P


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

Continuous Plasma Cannon.

Heavy Plasma Rifle.

PR can still fit in this equivlant.

Fuel Rod is good enough in my eyes.

can't think of anything.

Agree with you about the Spectre.

Seraph matches both Long and Short Swords.

Halo wars also classified the Scarab as the equivelant for the Vulture(both were Uber Units).

The mauler actually is an oversized pistol. And yes, the Ghost and Mongoose is classified as the same type of vehicle.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Spartan Laser.

They could have a larger version of the Beam Rifle crossed with a Sentinel beam for anti vehicle use.

Covenant Missile Pod: portable version of one of the AA Wraith's cannons.

Here's a list of vehicle equivelants that I came up with (judging by size, purpose, and power):
Mongoose-Ghost/Chopper
Warthog-Spectre/Prowler
Scorpian-Wraith
Cobra-Locust
Wolverine-AA Wraith
Hornet-Banshee
SparrowHawk-Vampire
Pelican-Phantom/Shadow
Albatross-Spirit
Longsword-Seraph
Shortsword-Seraph
Vulture-Scarab (power)
Elephant-Scarab (troop carrying)

A Mauler is close enough.

A Covenant Missile Pod would be pretty cool.


a covenant missile pod would be cool, but plasma doesn't really track at all, since its not a solid and more of a liquid, it wouldnt have the tracking capabilities

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

Plasma is less of a liquid and more of its own state of matter with its own unquie set of properties

spartan laser = player useable hunter cannon

but I like the Spartan Laser having no real equivlant like how the covenant have no real equivalent for the Spartan (Elites are arguably close)

which is why the name Spartan Laser fits cuz it has no real Covenent equivalent

Something like the trip mine but deployable on command, with a detonator of some sort.

There is a big difference between fire and plasma. There is fire, like the flame thrower, burning at approximately 2000 degrees F, then there is plasma, which is a steady afterburner which burns at about 300,000 degrees.

So you could still make a nice plasma thrower.

I would like to see the UNSC equivilant of the scarab.

  • 08.17.2009 8:45 PM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Only one thing I don't agree with, the Elephant is more like the Shadow than the Pelican. So Elephant = Shadow.

Problem is that plasma has a nasty tendency to dissipate into the air after going out about three inches. I do not see how one could logically make a plasma thrower.

Funny, my plasma rifle doesn't do that.

I want each weapon to kill in an effective but unique manner.

And actually, everything Covenant should technically be better, not the other way around.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

Oh hey Arbycuesause, what's going on.

I think a Covenant Missile Pod that shoots hyper explosive Needles would be awesome, it could have slightly more ammo and would explode when three - six of them are in the vehicle, it would most likely be powerful enough to take down half - 3/4's shield on a Scorpion driver.

It would be a close weapon. And yes it could shoot further than three feet. Plasma doesn't stop right infront.

Only problem is, is that the Needler is anti-infantry, not anti-vehicle. Those better be bigass needles to actually hurt a tank.
