Covenant shotgun? That's a horrible idea. You probably want to fly the pelican around as well.

The needle idea is ok, but I hate having a covenant alternative to every human weapon, Keep some variety. That's why I hate the idea of a human sword

SWORD!

COVIES DO NOT HAVE SHOTGUNS!

some tweaking needs to be done to the sword however. Maybe make it a rarer weapon and make the elties that cary them harder to kill like in Halo CE. Make elites harder to kill in general.

The covie shotgun isn't that bad of an idea you just don't call it a covie shotgun for obvious unfavoured name reasons. Give it something like pulse rifle or charge cannon and make it fire and expanding blast from the end of a rod to represent it's sprite while firing end boom you have the equivilent of a shotgun but a weapon that still feels like a covie weapon.

the blast could grow in size as it fires out and it can be represented as a large ball of light. So rational as to why it looses damage over a range could be mearly that the charge looses stability after a certain range and all that is felt further away is light damage while the charge it's self in the beginning of fire and close range will be quite powerful. It would be like a more reliable shotgun since individual pellets of the shotgun blast won't be effected by lagg as only the ball would have to expand and bear universal damage through out.

Also the way the sword is made now the whole auto lock feature has to be either removed or revamped to fit a more elvel field such as basic non lunge strike is a one hit kill while the crazy flying across the map and kill you swing should be a 2 hit kill.

I'd like the sword but it would be better is they would remove the "flying" when you press R. Its so fake when you're falling off a cliff and you lunge at some guy on top of you then you go flying in the air.

I've used a Needler Shotgun on Halo...Bungie didn't put it there though. It's extremely fun to use =D

The sword. BUT NO LUNGE. just a large round swing that kills when it touches. That way, the sword wont be so powerful but will still inspire fear.

One hundred and thirty five votes......wow.... just..damn...wow.....




I'm gonna go with the Energy Sword, though I admitt it would be more balanced without the air lunge. BTW, you guys DO know that you can crouch to dodge a ground lunge... right?

I liked the sword lunge they should just tweak it so it is more realistic.

What is wrong with the sword as it is? If you think the sword is unfair, its cause you suck and get killed by it.

How about making things in maps able to be picked up and chucked at non-suspecting foes?

349 votes for a covie shotgun? WHY?!

They have the damn sword. It's a one hit kill and very high-tech. They need no other close range weapon.

Hmmmmm. I find it odd that there are over 300 votes in the poll yet there isn't even one full page of actual posts. I wonder if the original poster is voting for himself....nah. He'd never do that would he?

No one in their right mind would want an energy based shotgun. The sword adds a whole new layer to the gameplay and I really hope it isn't removed.
