In Halo 2 there is somethin i have wondered about for the longest time....when you are an elite can you reload covenant weapons? In Halo they simply put that they didnt know how. well dont you think the covenant would? they make the guns after all... That is somehting i think would complicate things.... if elites have that advantage or if spartans can do it as well? that would be nice to be able to reload your fav covie weapon wheather it be the plasma pistol, or the plasma rifle...i just posted this to see what you all think about this. feedback would be nice

I think we should be able to, but not just elites, I likr how both of the characters in MP were the same, so no one had a advantage or disadvantage

No, that was one of the characteristics of those weapons I wouldn't want changed. And the good thing about them is you don't have to reload, and if you could that means you would be able to hold a lot of extra ammo, which would also make the weapons cheap.

yea thats what im wondering i mean wouldnt they kinda have to make it to where the elites can reload it... well they wouldnt have to but you know it would be kinda pointless to make weapons you cant reload in combat, you know like maybe they have to have a machine to do it for them? or they will have to make it where humans figured out how to reload plasma weapons....unless you do have to have a machine to do it...maybe covenant are less intellegent than i once thought lol

I think that you should be able to reload but not with ammo. You could go over a covenant weapon and switch batteries.

that would actually be something that might be usable...it would be nice but the only thing is that why would you walk over and just switch batteries...you might as well do as in the first one and just take the other weapon what they need to do is have batteries lying around the field and you would walk over to them and switch them out that way there only useful to the people who need them and the other people in the game cannot just walk up and pick up the weapon they have to find one in order to use the battery to reload thta woudl be cool

it's called voicing your opinion

True, but its not neccesary, I mean if you think a post is pointless why post in it and keep it on the front page! If you dont like a post then dont post in it and find something you do want to talk about, however if you want to put your opinion on whats being discussed go for your life!

Anyway, having batteries for Covie weapons would make them fairly cheap, I mean if you can hold say five batteries for a Plasma Rifle that is roughly 1,000 shots, and you would only have to reload every 200 shots or so (and its much more with the plasma rifle which fires about 500 shots on a full battery). Its much better to keep it so once a battery is drained its gone and you have to find a new weapon. Otherwise they would be better than any other weapon that reloads (I think the biggest clip is the SMG with 60), because they would have to reload much less frequently during firefights!

I presume the pistol battery doesnt match the rifle battery- in that case switching batteries would be pointless- just pick up the new gun with more charge. Saves time. Maybe if there were recharge stations in covenant structures- or if the MC packs some Duracell in his utility belt....Holy energy shortage Master Chief!!! The Battery is low!- No problem chum, luckily I keep enough duracell products in my utility belt to power 2 batmobiles-er i mean warthogs
