So, with the inclusion of the Prometheans in Halo 4 we see a new armour ability derived from their Forerunner technology, the Hard Light Shield. However, this "new" piece of equipment looks strikingly similar to something we have seen the Covenant elites use, such as Rtas "half-jaw". Maybe it means nothing or maybe it means that the Covenant have encountered Prometheans or some other form of Forerunner combat drone before? I just thought this was an interesting coincidence.

Yeah you are spot on. The covenant use a lot of Forerunner tech.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

I always assumed that Rtas shield was one of plasma, just like the ones the Jackals have, only in another shape.

The armour ability however is probably based on hard light, but is it ever used by the Covenant? (I might have overlooked a picture or two) ...

omg not realistic stop game production plz

The Promethean shield is Hard Light, Rtas's shield looked like a more typical energy shield (of course there's no way to know).

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

He was saying they found one and used it as the basis for the "plasma shield" just like how we assume they found one of those "sword guns" and created the energy sword.


I believe we are even now switch.
