Prometheans or Covenant? Which do you prefer to fight?
I have noticed that Warzone Firefight has a lot more Prometheans than Covenant and in my opinion the covenant are more fun to fight, I think it would be a good idea to balance out the amount of Covenant and Prometheans. This is just my opinion, let me know what you think?
Covenant. They die a lot more reliably as far as ground troops are concerned. Popping those little grunt skulls is addictive. The Promethean Soldiers just require too many shots to take down. Even hitting their weak points costs a ton of ammo so it ends up just being frustrating.
Definitely covenant… when a Promethean soldier hijacks my scout warthog and instakills me, he makes me rage. If an elite boards my Temple Wraith, he makes me laugh instead, since after he boards me, he decides to hop back off

He was showing you mercy is all.
Covenant, just feels a bit more satisfying when popping them off with head shots.
Covenant all the way!!
Covenant since they feel more appropriate to fight and Promethian Soldiers are annoying for taking a full clip to kill in Warzone.
Definitely Covenant, their range of enemy types and their behaviour makes for much more interesting battles.
That said, the AI all round in Halo 5 is worse than it should be.
Covenant without a doubt. Why would you even consider the prometheans when there is the covenant. They were here since the beginning of halo, the very first enemies we saw and they have been in every halo since. We saw them go from genocidal freaks to an actual living and breathing faction then to that faction on the brink of collapse. All the prometheans are is a bunch of robots running around with tracking bullets and Insta-kill weapons with no personality.
If there truly is billions of prometheans, then why don’t they just send them in to destroy civilisations who oppose them? If they want something destroyed, why don’t they just spam wardens if there are millions? At least with the covenant, there was a reason behind this and they did overkill missions by sending over 20-30 ships just to destroy the pillar of Autumn.
Before the Prometheans were introduced all the normal Halo enemies were more or less predictable, but with the teleporting magic that the Prometheans introduced it added a giant randomness factor to the gameplay, which in my opinion is almost always bad for the overall enjoyment of a game (and just plain lazy game design by 343i). Have you ever enjoyed multiple knights spawning/teleporting around you and instant killing you…?
Let alone the fact that 343i gave the Prometheans more instant-killing weapons/attacks and less (easier) ways for us to instant kill them compared to the covenant.
COVERNAUNT BABY!!
They’re so satisfying to kill and have better lore.
Prometheans? Annoying to kill. no lore at all to the enemies, even to eternal warden.
Covenant. It’s the original Halo. They’re a more fleshed out enemy given their ranks and races and weaponry and vehicles. They’re organic. Just, overall, like them more as an enemy.
Covenant. Prometheans just annoy me, as I find them to be a bit bland. In effort to increase the AI difficulty they just jacked up their health to become sponges. No changes to their behavior or tactics. The Covenant are much better in that aspect, as it feels like the AI are positioned strategically, coordinate their attacks, and don’t just stand there like a statue cough Warden Eternal.
Does anyone enjoy fighting the Prometheans? Crawlers aren’t fun like grunts. Soldiers don’t have the visible shields like elites and Knights, while a little weaker, just don’t compare to Hunters, or even brutes. It seems like they were shooting for an inbetween and missed
Covenant, but i do enjoy killing prometheans. I think they need to add more diferent kinds of prometheans, like the pack master for the crawlers.
Both. Each have their own reasons as to why they’re great and they differ to not be the same boring enemy.
Covenant all the way.
Covenant every time. There’s a reason why my favorite mission in Halo 4 is Composer and my favorite in Halo 5 is Blue Team.
Covenant. Prometheans have way too many op soldiers like knights and warden Eternals. Plus the prometheans have light rifles, incineration cannons, suppressors and boltshots. The covenant main weapon is the needler, energy pistol, fuel rod and carbines. Prometheans are way too op than the covenant. Also remember that one mission in halo 5 where you see all covenant dead bodies on the floor. That’s because they were fighting the prometheans and the Warden Eternal. The hunters also die quickly to Promethean Knights that have incineration cannons. Plus Promethean soldiers easily kill elites. There is no way i would try to fight of Promethean rather than bunch of cowering grunts and tiny jackals.

I only enjoy fighting the knights. if I get too close all they do is try to melee and I melee them back so it’s competition between me and them.
