Subject: What is your favorite Covenant weapon

Plasma Rifle- The main weapons for Elite soldiers. Doesn't much against non-sheilded enemies

Plasma Repeater- A new kind of plama rifle that can release all its heat with the push of a button. That is the only real difference from the plasma rifle

Needler- Shots slow moving, guilded, pink needles at enemy solders and explodes if enough hit skin. Try out running the needles

Plasma Pistol- The main side-arm for the Covenant that can also shoot an emp burst that disables vehicles for a short time. Annoying for pilots in Banshees, Falcons, and Hornets

Spiker- The main weapon for Brute soldiers that shoots spikes at enemies. I wonder where they got the name

Concussion Rifle- This gun showed up late in the war that is the Covenant version of a grenade launcher. Very intimidating

Fuel Rod- This gun shoots large green plasma bolts that can destroy armor. Try to keep your distance

Plasma Launcher- Shoots four plasma grenades that can lock on to soldiers to vehicles. If they stick to you, stop, drop, and die

Carbine- Shoots concentrated plasma shots at enemies. Another four shot weapon

Needler Rifle- Shoots high velocity needles that can explode if there are enough hits to skin. This is the baby to a Needler and a Carbine

Energy Sword- When activated, it emittes a plasma sword that is used by high ranking Elites. Saying that this weapon is usesd for CQB would be an understatement

Gravity Hammer- Besides the Needler, this weapon is probably the most "how in the world does that thing work" weapons for the Covanent. Short version, its a huge melee that can really mess up your day...along with your face

Beam Rifle- Shoots an accurate plasma shot that is the Covenant sniper rifle. This gun is the reason that I hate Jackels

Focus Rifle- Shoots a laser that is very accurate and can get annoying. It is mostly a nuisance

Comment on your favorite weapon

Brute shot- Grenade launcher with a bayonet... 'nuff said. Plus, it is very intimidating and strikes fear to your enemies.

Plasma Pistol of coarse.
Takes over the grenade launchers job by IMPing anything in its way.
4 shots to take down ones sheilds and end your foes death with DMR l33t combo.

Needler.

No other weapon I've seen has come close to making pointy pink sticks so deadly and feared.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Plasma Launcher.

I absolutely love the aesthetic design and the sound of it when it loads the rounds and when they are fired and tracking.

It can get scary hearing that weapon fire and the rounds following you.

Carbine is so cool.

  • 03.19.2012 9:39 AM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

The ODST spiker, followed by the Halo 3 plasma rifle

Carbine. Makes the needle rifle look like a piece of -blam!-.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

Excluding the Brute sandbox of weapons (which I love), it would have to be the Plasma Rifle. It's just so.....Covenant.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Carbine. Loved that weapon in Halo 3. Would like to see a return in Halo 4, if there are Covenant weapons.

The needler because you can kill in a cool way

The time it takes to explode from sticking to a person is just enough time for them to think, "Oh -blam!-". Bungie had to have had that in mind when they were devoloping it.

Respect skill, Not rank.

plasma pistol, it's all purpose and is effective against land and air vehicles, as well as infantry. i always have a pp on me, usually as a primary.

<( "<) COOL (>" )>

I would have to say, the needler, but not just any old needler... the kind that you can duel-wield. >:)

Plasma Rifle. Its chunky, alien-looking, beautifully designed. To me it screams Covenant to me and I love it.

  • 03.31.2012 2:49 PM PDT

Energy sword.

beautifully designed, intimidating like a boomstick in the 14th century, and oozes sci-fi goodness :)

The Beta plasma repeater. It was the first Covenant "Assault Rifle" that could hold up on it's own to a human assault rifle in years.

Then Bungie nerfed it into trash for no reason. Seriously, nobody complained about it, and they dropped a -blam!- hammer on it.

Infection in Halo 3 isn't zombie killing; it's ethnic cleansing. Have you ever noticed that these "zombies" are just black Spartans?

The Carbine. I just loved the look and feel of that gun.

Second place, the Needler. Nothing has been quite as satisfying across the entire series as running around filling enemies with needles and watching them explode in a glorious, pink flash.
