Yeah, Covenant majorly nerfed and UNSC buffed. -_-
It was perfect before, it was fair. 1 Honor Guard vs 1 Spartan was always even, now you need five Honor Guards to kill one Spartan.
Vampires are now useless, too, as they can’t defend themselves from anything.
Y U REPLACE PLASMA RIFLES WITH WATER GUNS!?!
Now everyone who picks Covenant is going to lose constantly. Oh how fun! [/sarcasm]
Sweet. Time to go Anders again! Hog RUSH!
But I feel you. I usually enjoy playing Covies when ever possible. To hear they got nerfed makes me wonder if 343 knows what it’s doing or if it’s listening to it’s forums way too much.
What are you talking about?
I find it really hard to believe that 343 still updates this game.
Deja Vu?

I know, right? Now Honor Guards look like the unsheilded Elites that come with Grunt squads. Now the only useful units left for the Covenant are Jackals (After this update, they were still kicking -Yoink-) and the Scarab. 343 is seriously kicking Covenant fans in the balls.
Nice elaborate 2-man troll. Won’t work on me!
Moderators suck. O.o I guess this message will be removed before this stupid topic.

I wasn’t actually trolling, if I wanted to do that I’d either play CoD and mess with some Brits, or play Halo and say aloud my opinions on how Elites are superior to Spartans.

Is that why the AI spams UBER units like crazy now? Me and my friend played the other day and between the two of us on normal in a 3v3 with two on the opposing being covenant we destroyed a total of 13 scarabs while my base turrest also seemed highly effective against the honor guards unlike the usual where they’d reduce my turrets to scrap metal.

Exactly. Honor Guards used to be the Covenant equivilant of Spartans (Seeing as how default Elites are shieldless and only in Grunt squads) now they’re useless.
