In my Firefight stats, when I click on the Enemies tab to see what enemies I have killed, it tells me I have killed 510 ‘Falcon - Vehicle’.
When I hover over it though it says ‘Covenant Pilot - an anonymous Covenant Pilot’.
I can only assume it’s actually meant to be the Phantom/Spirit Turret kills I get when the dropships drop off enemies during Firefight rounds.
Couldn’t a picture of a Phantom be used instead of a Falcon?
I know this is only a minor bug, but I didn’t know where to mention it on here. Sorry for starting a new topic about it.
The Covenant Pilot is one of two invisible zero-size enemies used as pilots for “unmanned” aircraft (the other being the UNSC Pilot). Any Covenant-controlled aircraft, and possibly also Spirit and Phantom main turrets, should count as a Covie Pilot kill (in addition to a kill for the vehicle itself).
I think that might be why a Falcon picture is used. UNSC Pilots are used for Campaign Falcons, and Covenant Pilots are essentially the same “character” but used elsewhere. Copy and paste to make the enemy; copy and paste to set its image.
In any case, good catch.
