Favorite Covenant Designs

Throughout the entire Halo series, designs change from game to game and sometimes these changes can be good or bad. This is especially true in regards to the Covenant and their varying designs. For the most part, I not only find myself drawn to the classic designs of the original trilogy and the Halo Wars games, but some of Reach and the 343 designs as well.

For example, I absolutely love the look of H2A and HW2 because they used the classic Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, and Elites. But I also really liked the Skirmishers and Corvettes from Reach and the new variations of Covenant weapons, vehicles, and ships used in H5G. I thought that Jul 'Mdama’s helmet was pretty cool too.

So tell me, what designs do you like or dislike throughout the Halo series? I’d like to know.

Covenant Species

Prophets - H2A

Elites - H2A/HW/HW2 (But I wish they a spiked gauntlet on both arms like this.)

Brutes - H2A/H3/HW2 (I love both the classic Brutes and the H3 Power Armor.)

Hunters - H2A/HW2

Drones/Buggers - H2A

Skirmishers - Reach (Minors and Majors only. I like their feathers.)

Jackals - H2A/H3

Grunts - H2A (HW2 is decent too)

Engineers - ODST

Covenant Vehicles

Ghost - H2A/Reach/HW2

Banshee - H2A/H3/HW2 (I’ve always imagined the H3 model with H2A colors.)

Wraith -H2A/Reach/HW2

Spirit - Reach/HW/HW2

Phantom - H2A Terminals/Reach/HW2

Scarab - Reach (Because of the dark colors and the Lekgolo worms.)

Covenant Ships

SDV-class heavy corvette - Reach (Considering that this is the only game it appeared in and it looked amazing.)

CCS-class battlecruiser - Reach

CAS-class assault carrier - H2A Terminals/Reach (Technically was a “supercarrier” in Reach, but it looked great.)

I really liked the interior of the Corvette, as well as the insides of both the Covenant battlecruiser from The Fall of Reach animated series and Jul 'Mdama’s assault carrier from the H4 terminals.

Elites-hw2/h2a
Brutes-hw2/h2a
Grunts-halo reach/hw2
Jackals-h2a/halo reach
Drones-h2a
Prophets-h2a
Engineers-odst

Vehicles
Ghost-h2a/reach
Banshee-h2a/reach
Warthog-reach/halo 3
Wraith-reach/h2a
Any of the cruisers/frigates/carriers I would say h2a

I just added my list to the original post. Also, you may be interested in this post as well. Take a look.

Species:

Elites - H:CE/H2A
Brutes: HW2
Grunts: H2A
Jackals: Reach (love me some Skirmishers)
Drones: ODST
Prophets: H2A
Engineers- ODST
Hunters: ODST/HW2

Vehicles:
Ghost: H:CE
Banshee: H3
Warthog: Reach
Wraith: H2A
Scarab: H3
Spirit: Reach
Phantom: H3 (they blow up REAL good!)

For the larger ships, I have to go with Reach simply because of that introduction to Long Night of Solace. Puny UNSC Frigate, meet CSO Supercarrier :smiley:

The Banished designs look really cool, hope we get to see their return in future Halo games.

You have to admit though, that those UNSC Paris-class heavy frigates looked really cool in Reach. So did the Autumn in that game. Oh! And I agree. I love blowing up the Phantoms too. Lol

Yeah they did! Honestly, I wish that Jul 'Mdama’s Covenant had followed this classic inspired redesign too. They would look awesome!
