My Marathon knowledge is a litte rusty, but I'm pretty sure the Covenant would have the advantage in this one. The S'Pht have always struck me as just a band of slaves, not a deeply organized and devote empire like the Covenant. I could be horribly wrong in that assesment, but that's just my two cents.

I only playes Durandle on Live marketplace, but they're more of a slaved race that rebels. The strongest weapon I remember them carrying regulary were assault rifles.

What about the Pfhor? Wouldn't that be a better fight? I've only played Durandal on Xbox Arcade as well, but I love it, almost got it beaten.

S'pht don't carry assault rifles. You're probably thinking of one of the variants of the Pfhor.

Probably. I need to start reading ALL of the terminals instead of the ones that only pertain to the plot :/

The S'pht can walk on lava in the citadel... NOT WATER FOLKS, LAVA! Name one Covenant species that can match that! I dare you.

(Yes for those who don't know, the S'pht are from Marathon.)

Such a useless trait doesn't help at all in a war. Unless the battlefield is covered in lava, which is very unlikely.

I was making a sort of biblical/ customary analogy based on the "walking on water" analogy to omnipotence. Basically, I was implying that the S'pht are invulnerable Gods compared to the Covenant.

NOTE: I am NOT attempting to promote, discuss, or in any other way communicate religion.

At the moment I'm reading it like 'spit' xD

"Wort wort wort!"

Sfit i was thinking. And the Pfhor would make MUCH better enemies. Arent the S'pht the ones that flash you and acid shoots out? They're only one species while the covenant is 4-8 (?) separate species.

-The full bottle is a silent bottle.

I'm saying it like "sfit" :) ive no idea either tho xD

I'm going wit the covie, just cause the covie is like 4 diff races and diverse, and rly organized. well, before the great schism. AND they have forunner based tech :)

I believe the S'pht would be able to defeat the Covie within hours or even minutes of the start of the war. The S'pht have the capability of taking control of computer systems of their enemy and would just use the Covenant's own weaponry against them and send their ships crashing into the ground.
