As the title suggests I have encountered covenant forces guarding asteroid fields as opposed to UNSC ships. Not sure if this is intentional or not. It is also not on one of the custom maps or named scenarios, just a random.

It's intentional. You'll find Omen-class frigates, CCS-class battlecruisers, and pickets in asteroid fields as militia.

I can see why you said they werent done. they look 2d.

[Emberblaque]

That stings a bit. We only included the shiniest and most three-dimensional of our Covenant ships in the open beta.

[HTRK74JR]

im sorry, but im also highly critical of the phoenix class ship model you have, very flat. but you guys did an awesome job and spent years working on it.

[Ulmont]

The pheonix looks flat and sub-standard in overall quality because its a placeholder. The final model for that ship isn't done yet.

[Emberblaque]

Phoenix-class carrier and refit are going to be replaced, I agree they aren't up to par with the quality of our other assets. But Zero's texturing (and specifically bump mapping) has produced some incredible looking Covenant ships so far IMO. I'm personally in love with the CCS-class battlecruiser that The Didact modeled and Zero textured.

I'm not shooting you down by the way, I know beauty is subjective. But I think you'd be hard-pressed to find someone that agrees with you. Of course I'm very biased.

Have you seen the previous Covenant models?
Not to mention have you actually looked at the Covenant models we have now? You'll be hard pressed find a source anywhere on the internet that has more detailed Covenant models than this mod.

haha, that is why you guys are the best! i know the current covi ships are placeholder, and i thought i remember seeing someone mention that the phoenix is being remade.

Your reading skills are terrible. The Covie ships we have in the Beta are here to stay and they're literally the best Covie ships in any fan-made game. Your game's settings must be set on low. Those ships are down right beautiful.

I don't see how this:

And this:

look "2d"....

Of course you could always make better models and better textures not to mention put it in-game and then balance, tweak, add hardpoints etc.. if you can do these things by all means please volunteer your amazing skills.

Oh noes, 2d ships!

I was going to put something sarcastic and funny up but the above pic takes the cake.

Beauty is subjective.

Remember this guys. He didn't say he could do better and he wasn't belligerent in the way he expressed his opinion. His right to assert his complete lack of aesthetic sensibility is the only thing that demarcates democracy from mob rule, ladies and gentlemen.

Actually, our 700th like on Facebook was from some girl. Color me surprised.

They might yet lurk among us.

those look better than some of the CCS's in the actual halo games, IMO

The annoying part is that you can't really get them to all group together close enough to nuke them you need to send a ton of frigates at them if you wanna secure asteroid fields for early game resource bonus.

10 paris frigates, WITHOUT ANY RESEARCH IMPROVEMENTS, can clear out an asteroid field with 3-5 frigates lost, and you're complaining that you cant nuke them? lol
