Trust me dude, the pirates will ravage your worlds and fleets without mercy, they will take that brand new Supercarrier, and make it their own, then shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

.........I like using them against people

could we just see some more vids of the Covenant please ?^^

[Dianno5741]

Hey everybody im here to update this thread on what weve completed for the covenant thus far.

First off the covenant have about 95% of their weapons and abilities in place. I say 95% as we still have meta balancing (how the gameplay is between UNSC and covenant) and those could change.
All covenant ships are in the game. Although most of them have placeholder models for use in balancing as we want the most time available to balance the game in a fun and strategic way.
We still have alot of modeling, texturing, bug finding, and renaming left to go. For you fans of the covenant I can personally tell you that when you engage fleets of UNSC ships its nothing short of pages from The Fall of Reach torn out and put into gameplay itself. Im not Randy Pitchford from Gearbox so Im not going to lie to you about the quality of a game. Stay tuned on more updates.

The forums are not ready to see the Covenant. Not as they are but, give it some time and we shall set you loose upon this Heresy with our blessings.

Yea there are only 3 ships modeled and textured in game, which you have in the beta. We're all sitting and waiting around for more to be done.

Will all the Covenant ships be retextured & remodeled ? In the old trailers I saw a few ships and they looked just really good.

aside from the 3 ships mentioned by Uni, all of the covenant ships are getting an overhaul

wow...the quality of this mod is just amazing. Mods with such a scale of quality are quite rare.

to be fair, some of the placeholder models are kinda shit lol

Some are also pretty good, but won't be making the cut due to extraneous stuff. Like the Pickette.

I know what you meant, I was just breaking the news that some of the decent looking older ships are still being thrown out. Everything will be all new.

It takes a lot of effort, as I'm sure you can imagine. Not to mention many modding teams are quite young, so they just don't have the maturity to realize when they're releasing shit quality. They think "this is the best I can do, so there it is" When we hit that point, I started recruiting better artists.

I don't think we're cocky about the mod's quality, but we do know the level of attention we'd expect from another modding team doing the same thing, and we try to shoot for that. I'm here because I love Halo and wanted this mod to become a reality.

oh, sweet, so we'll get even shinier stuff

[Unikraken]

Well you've seen a lot of the models on ModDB, imagine those being textured like the CCS is and you'll see what we have cooked up.
