-Evil Otto

I have 3 combinations that I frequently use:
Dual Plasma Rifles - best all-around reaming weapon combo at medium range. Plasma Rifles are often in abundant supply and it's a good, solid, combo.

Dual Needlers - these are great on Lockout and Burial Mounds. These will decimate a sniper that thinks he's tucked away in a nice hidey hole. These do not work at close range, though. you will lose a close range battle.

SMG with Plasma Pistol - walk around with your left hand charged. Release a bolt of plasma as soon as you see an enemy. This will drop his sheilds and leave little work left for the SMG to do.

My personal favorite... Well, you'll just have to get on live and play me. This combination always leaves people scratching their heads. Every time I engage someone at close range and get the first shot off with this combination, I win.

Otto out...

One thing I don't like...If you're fighting with a sword and you come charging in the other person can just continue to back up to stay away while unloading on you, of course theyd have to move around a bit so you can't lock on and dash, but it seems to make the sword alot less useful.

Wow, thanks for the link! Commercial is awesome! If there are anymore can sum1 please post em. And to answer the drone question, drones are in the Halo book "First Strike." they help master cheif repair his armor when it was damaged. The book describes them as a type of engineer who only live to fix things. They are kind of like a grunt in being small. well anyway the poor drone is shot in the head so master chiefs armor will remain a secret because the drone had figured out how to fix it and they didnt want the covenant have a chance to learn how to disable his armor. That's all i got to say, and if u wanna play me online for Halo 2 my gamertag is Luke6268. Looking to create a clan or if any1 will take me ill join (I'm a good player capable of bout 20 kills, but in Halo 2 with dual wield, maybe 40 ;)

damn. u guyz put the question i was about to post. whats a drone?

The Covenant Drone is a small, agile creature that can fly and cling to backrounds, such as trees, walls, Warthogs, etcetera. They are hard to take down with a longer ranged weapon such as the Carbine or Sniper and closer range weapons are suggested.

There you have it. The abbreviated definition of a Drone. Don't believe me? Read December Issue of Official Xbox Magazine

Hey! everyone i got a good pic of the Drones. its a bit blurry but u can see em ( at least i think theyre drones). go to the new comercial and freeze it 29 seconds into it. or for those of u who cant count, right after he jumps on the ghost

Yes, that is either the Drone, a Sentinel, or perhaps a mixed blur of another Covenant such as a Elite jumping in mid-air or a ghost from a decent distance away to make it appear small (or something else?)

I'm pretty sure those are just called engineers, not drones. I read that book too, it rocked, and the reason they killed it wasn't because they could disable it, it was because they stole the technology from the elites and improved on it, and they didn't want the engineer to get back and inform them on the upgrades.
