Here's what I think would be a cool Covennant weapon:

The Covennant Chain Gun:--- Basicly think of a gatling gun that shoots plasma. It is a short ranged to medium range gun. High fire power at close range, deceases as fired. High fire rate; 200 shorts every 5 seconds. Can take down personal sheils in seconds, and at close range rip through armor to kill quickly. If you want alternate fire the five barrels can fire at once for a weak but accurate beam. And to be cool for the melee attack, it can have 3 energy swords on it that are only activated during the melee attack and deactivate after the mellee attack. Or if you make if a heavy double handed weapon if can have a fuel rod cannon under if as a secondary weapon. Because if fires so fast either have a heck of a lot of ammo of unlimited ammo.

Advantages: Quick fire and heavy damage, good melee. AUTOMATIC

Disadvantages: To be fair the gun has to start turning is barrels before shhoting, and the gun overheats in 8-10 seconds

Personally whe ni think of covie guns I prefer their more clasical halo 1 alien feel. Every halo 1 covie gun did something that made it distinctly alien. Either freeze the foe a bit, track the foe with pink needles, or charge up and lock on with a PP shot. Then halo 2 made covie guns just colorful SMGs and other generic mixes.

I'd rather see any new covie or forerunner weapons be distinctly alien with cool freeze or other forms of damage or firing. I would really like to see the needler returned to it's old lock on powers that could follow enemies around walls but for a new weapon I would like to see anything alien and non spammy. Hell make a forerunner gun that has more balistic damage but is worthless (almost none) in melee damage or some other neat trade off or ability which has both weaknesses and strengths.

Uh huh. Balance is a huge issue with this idea. I can't really hope that this will be implemented.

Sorry if i offend you, but the three energy sword melee sounds like something thought up by a 10 year old.

You must have played Marathon 1. The P'hor had these plasma gatling guns that were cool.

Three swords? One sword kills in one lunge, why would you need 3? Also, with something as powerful as that for primary fire, I don't think its melee should be as beefed up. It would be absolutely invincible at close to mid range.
