Halo 4 has shifted from the covenant to forunner. In this game, the covenant are just a side enemy to be sprinkled in. Your main threats are the Prometheans. That is probably why there is a lack of love for the covenant.
That being said . . . where are some forunner vehicles?

tbh with you im happy the covies didnt get any new weapons. they have alot as it is. the forerunners obviously are gonna get loads of new weapons as they are the new focus in the game. in terms of vehicles though i agree. the covies need more vehicles. in MP all they have is the banshee ghost and wraith. they defineltly need the spectre/revenant to return. and if the mammoth isnt in MP, i would assume it doesnt count as the 2nd new vehicle. and if that is the case, than the other new vehicle better be covie

Nope, there are 6 weapons in the entire Promethean arsennal.
Shouldn’t the prometheans have some vehicles? Like the weapons they would build around the driver so that they would work with both knights and marines. I feel like that was a big missed opportunity.
With that being said, you never know, they might release a couple promethean vehicles. I could see them making a flying ship like a banshee or hornet and a couple smaller ghost-like vehicles for the prometheans.
Also, I really hope you meant hornet when you said falcon. I miss the hornet.
I hate how the various Covenant species, with whom humanity has been fighting a gigantic war for over 25 years, have been shoved off to the side as if they’re of no consequence.

Technically, Promethians (or Forerunners in general) wouldn’t need vehicles because of their level Slipspace tech. They could just simply teleport to where they want to go. That said, if there were Forerunner vehicles, that would be -Yoinking- cool to use
As for the Covenant, I understand why they’re being pushed aside, The Covenant doesn’t technically extst in H4’s timeframe (circa 2557) because the Hierarchs are dead, the San 'Shyuum (aka Prophets) are most likley extinct, the Brutes are infighting, the Huragok (aka Enginers), who did all of the Covenant’s tech work, are with the UNSC now, which is how the Infinity got most of it’s unique upgrades (such as communication in Slipspace). So who pulls Covie IT duty now? No one, and the Covenant races have no idea how their own technology works, because the Huragock did that for them, so they don’t know how to maintain them, so there a (somewhat)canon reason
We know that the only new Covenant thing in this game is the Storm rifle (which is basically a Plasma rifle/Repeater combined).
Not a single covenant map or vehicle (watch the 2nd new vehicle be either the Mammoth or another UNSC vehicle) and no other returning vehicles that we know of (they would have showed us at least one of the returning vehicles somewhere).

The Prometheans don’t need vehicles. They teleport around the world using their teleportation grid. So…no. It would not make sense to have Promethean vehicles.
