Promethean and Brute weapons, I’m sure people here like Spikers and Maulers and such, why not let the Elites use them? The Covenant using Promethean weapons in Spartan Ops gave them a little more variety, when I ran at an Elite and got killed by its Scattershot I was confused to the say the least, but I thought it was cool, then there’s another mission where Grunts have Boltshots, Elites have Suppressors and Scattershots, it was awesome and more challenging.
The only other way I could see Brute weapons returning would be if the Rebels and Covenant species on Venezia joined together since they already live together just fine, became a threat (I think I’d actually like this to happen)
Maybe if they teamed up with the Prometheans. As for Brute weapons, I’d say no, because brutes are entirely out of the picture
That’s why I mentioned Venezia, some Brutes are on Venezia and they get along with the Rebels and Jackals there, The Covenant Remnant are already teamed up with the Prometheans
Agreed. In terms of gameplay and story, I think that these Promethean weapons should be noticeably stronger than their UNSC/Covenant counterparts and only be used by the higher ranked Elites (Generals and Zealots). This gives them a bit more of an edge and differentiates them from their subordinates, as well as truly making them more difficult foes.
These Coveys are still religious to a degree so they only believe in using their weaponry and the weaponry of the gods. I can totally see them using promethean weapons, but as for brutes, I think the memories of rivalry between elites and brutes still won’t allow elites to use brute weapons.
I guess, but bringing in Human, Brute and Skirmisher enemies in as an entirely different faction would be awesome
