It is the assault carrier scaled up. It's a plot device. It's way larger than anything else they've ever fielded, so that leads one to think it's not really canon. They go from 6 km ships to a 28 km ship with nothing transitional in between. It was a very lazy thing did by the dev team to create plot for a game they already had a great story to pull from, that they discarded.

I don't like it because they hired someone to do any amazing re-texture of the assault carrier (which mine is based off of) and they just baked out the Halo 3 Assault Carrier. You can only see the new one in the cutscene where the ships jump in.

I never hated it, never really liked it either, it was just there

The super carrier makes sense if you consider the covenant being McDonalds fans, they'd love a super size me . Have to say I was dissapointed with the laziness in the design choice but may work in canon since the covies are more immitative than innovative they'd assume enlarging a ship design thats already working for centuries would make it more powerful. A little annoyed I had to drop my original and well thought out Super Carrier design on my scale chart for the current uninspired canonical one.

Though the scene when it destroys the frigate was awesome, and also seeing it wrecked over the mountains was pretty amazing, I totally abhort re-scaled ships like this and the CRS. It doesn't really makes sense. At least this is a bigger version of the CAS, while the CRS is smaller than the CCS and you can't really distinguish one from another in Halo 4, while Bungie had the decency to put only one of those beasts.
