You know I always did feel like the Revenant was a utility/command vehicle. That side seat always made it feel like an Elite commander could sit there and direct the battle while being protected by the speed and the mortar. Glad to know my ideas of its origins weren't too far off.
Punctuation Man there is Razorback in Halo Infinite, which is an armored Warthog TT with no turret. Funnily, in Wh40K the Razorback is a fire support vehicle which is a "Rhino" APC with a turret.
I would love for a small short film or mini-series that just shows the UNSC figuring out how these weapons work, 343 could bring more of that early Halo 2 and Halo 3-esc comedy back with something like that
Yeah, we know in the fall of reach that they gathered all they could, and it would be awesome to see the retro engineering of energy shields and weapons
Maybe the upcoming Halo tv series will talk about this. It looks like they're pouring a lot of money into the show, would be cool to see the initial human interaction with the covenant weapons.
As someone who has... mixed luck with weapons that require more precision, I loved the Focus rifle back in the day. But if I had to pick one single thing I loved most in Reach... it'd be the Revenant. Got an annoying light vehicle or group of players/enemies? Revenant. Some cocky bastard with a rocket launcher or other power weapon? Revenant. Hell, got a runaway Scorpion being an asshole? Circle around them and rain plasma until it's a flaming wreck. The only things that a Rev has trouble with is air vehicles, but even then, good aim and leading or a player riding shotgun can help fix that. Gods, even more so than the Chopper, I want the Revenant to appear in a new game.
And the focus rifle would be perfect if they can make more damage to vehicles (most plasma weapons should do it in general) and if it can blind more the target. Smooth looking, cool details and great Overheating animation (Like the Repeater).
The plasma repeater is such a beautiful weapon. I wish it was used in the most recent games instead of the storm rifle, the latter just looks like a cross between a covenant carbine and a human assault rifle.
They need to bring it back as a infantry support weapon like some SAW, keep all three models of the plasma weaponary. Plasma rifle as a medium standard, Storm as range, Repeater as close. Would be interesting to see how that plays out in the sandbox.
The sounds details and cooling are awesome, i really hope they make a boost in the armor and vehicle damage, because that's why it's pretty useless in multiplayer.
A theory I've got on why the Energy Sword and Gravity Hammer are called the Type 1 and Type 2. The UNSC has the weapons of the Covenant classified differently between melee and ranged weaponry and while ranged weapons are categorized by year, melee weapons are categorized numerically in the order they were first reported. Meaning the Energy Sword made a reported appearance before the Gravity Hammer.
This... Makes a lot of sense. While technically in canon the Brutes were encountered by Humans BEFORE the Elites (see the book Contact Harvest), the Gravity Hammer wasn't BUILT yet. Instead, the brute chieftain in the book uses the Fist of Rukt before it was turned into the first Gravity Hammer, which all others are based off. Soon after, Elites would start appearing, with only official Swordmaster's, very high ranking officers and elite (as in skill level) Spec Ops wielding them. Eventually all other brute chieftains would start converting their hammers into gravity hammers, but that would be some time after the swords were encountered and catalogued EDITORS NOTE: This original comment used to state that "every rank of elite" would have used energy swords. THIS WAS INCORRECT AND I AM DUMB! BigPP corrected me and I edited the comment to better inform readers. I leave this editor's note so you all know, I AM A DUMBASS.
@BigPP Johnson I don't know where I pulled that bs out of, because it is just blatantly wrong. You are completely right, the right to use an Energy Sword was VERY important to the Elites, and you'd have to be exceptionally skilled or a very high rank to wield one.
Cthulhuwarlord Canon speed might be different than the speed gameplay allows you to drive. Banshees seem to be crazy fast in some videos but in the gameplay they are slow af.
@@thatlaughingguy2636 The scarab tanks in halo 2 are purely mechanical, piloted by a crew and using mechanical parts, the scarabs in halo 3, odst, and reach are the ones that are controlled by worms. Johnson got in the halo 2 scarab and was able to pilot it manually.
Personally I wish Bungie had included the Brute Prowler, Spike Nade and Flame Nade, Brute Shot, the Jump Pack Brute and Stalker Brute, the greater variety of Drones from ODST, Carbine and Beam Rifle, Brute Plasma Rifle and Mauler, the Gold Hunters from ODST, the SMG, Missile Pod, Battle Rifle, the Flame Thrower, the silenced SMG and Magnum, a silencer for the sniper on the sniper mission for greater stealth, and finally Drones and Elite Zealots and Field Marshals be in Firefight. As much as I love Reach these additions would have made the game almost perfect besides duel wielding ofcourse.
1993DJC Or we could have had Halo 3 just with a ton more features in Customs, Forge and Firefight. Instead we Got Reach the first game to divide the Community and the one that made Halos AI garbage.

Wish the focus rifle made more appearances. No other focused energy beam weapons made except by the forerunners (which too, are lacking in making appearances)
Watching your Halo Reach Armory videos it made me realize just how much work gose into making Halo, how deep the lore is, more then I thought, I mean all the details and stories attached to the weapons is just unbelieveable, and I appriciate the hard work that went into that, especially since I`m writing my own story with original weapons I know just how much time and effort you put into them, its crazy :,D Also quick question, do you think you will do a similer vedio on other Halo games? A halo wars armory video would be a very interesting one.
The Concussion Rifle and Plasma Caster look so similar. The similarities in aesthetics between the two previously mentioned guns makes me wonder if the two are canonically related or if the Concussion rilfe was cut from Halo 5 and reworked into the plasma caster.
The measurements for some of these weapons give a completely different image than what you see in the games. I know it's so the weapons wouldn't cover half your screen though
I feel that the type 1 and 2 sword an hammer are called that way because they are just more advanced versions of old weapons that have berry simmlier function and effect
Has anyone else noticed that the human vehicles (Warthog, Scorpion, Falcon, etc) and covenant vehicles are all named after some sort of ghost (Banshee, Phantom, Wraith, Ghost) the only exception I can think of is the scarab
Their exclusive guns here sure are mostly lackluster compared to the ones always shown in post-Reach conflicts. I'm referring to the Plasma Repeater (compared to the Plasma Rifle and even the UNSC Assault Rifle) and the Focus Rifle (compared to the Beam Rifle from Halo 2, 3, and ODST). The Needler Rifle is a different story entirely.
Saying that an assault gun carriage is a main battle tank is like saying that this apple is an orange. Sure, in-game the wraith is the Covenant's counterpart for the Scorpion but it don't change the vehicle's nature and designation.
Suspect on foot[FIN] Wraith feels more like long range artillery than anything. I don’t know about you, but I don’t think shooting a mortar at close range normally goes well.
(2nd soz) awsome video as always keep it up :) and what’s everybody’s favourite gun - human and covenant weapon? Mine are splaser and plasma repeater or meme rifle (concussion rifle, if you set up a game with bottomless clip (no need to reload) and infinite health you can basically fly XD)
Does anybody else think Halo just overly complicates their weapon names? Not every weapon needs some super technical "Type C Asdf" name for their weapons. If you told me "hey that elite is using a Type 25 DER" I'd be like what the fuck does that mean. It's a plasma rifle, just call it a plasma rifle.
so wait- what’s the difference between the phantom and the spirit? i’d presume the phantom is more armored and used for mid-combat drops, whereas the spirit is used for scouting and quicker deployments behind or away from lines, but we see the spirit used in the same situations as the phantoms. ???
I would be very interested to know how the Covenant named their weapons. Terms like Plasma Rifle, Needler, and Energy Sword as well as the "Type" designations are all human terms used to categorize the weapons. But I'm really interested in knowing how the Covenant categorize the weapons. What do they call the Plasma Rifle? Do they consider it a "Rifle", or an "SMG"? How do they categorize the differences between the larger, more accurate model seen in CE as opposed to the smaller, faster firing model from the other Halo games? Do they consider the Plasma Repeater an enhance Plasma Rifle? Or is it a different weapon altogether and is just designed by the same manufacturer (Like the AK-47 compared to the RPK?). That really interests me, and if the Elite perspective ever comes back for their own campaign, I'd love to see their HUD and dialogue used to actually separate the two, much like how they use their own dialects nowadays for species names, and we've always seen their own terms for Spartans (Demons), Installations (Halos), and Monitors (Oracles) in the past.
Playing original CE recently and it struck me that the Spirit and the Banshee are the first Covey vehicles you encounter. And that Banshee sounds like as friggin banshee! That's exactly the "screaming wind" sound that medieval peasants thought was the restless dead!
I wish halo reach had all the vehicles seen in halo up to that point, It would make sense seeing how this is unsc's main military planet and the covenant where fighting very hard to defeat the unsc because they thought it was the human's homeworld so I can see why each side would have used pretty much everything they had (except for some halo wars vehicles maybe). I mean it was bungie's last game so I wish they really made an attempt to go all out. They almost had a level to control a scarab for christ sake.
the fact that there are T-1 and T-2 covenant weapons implies that there were encounters with the covenant or at least their technology before any conflict
You should expand upon these one day, after a handful more vehicles, and hopefully many more Forerunner vehicles are released... After all despite not being in Reach, I really like Halo 5's Kraken and 4's Lich.
For someone smarter than me, class 2 DEC are noted as being in the 100kw to 250kw range. What does this mean exactly, and can this be extend to other things like durability or power of items in the Halo universe?
Fun fact about the phantom gunboats: Although exceedingly hard to do, on lower difficulties it is possible to ram one in such a way that you kill the pilot but not the gunboat itself. If memory serves, they're flown by Brutes.
I know it's not a Q&A video but I have a burning question regarding Cortana, Gravemind, and Infinite. Do you think perhaps she had been brainwashed by Gravemind? Or possibly manipulated to take over the galaxy? She did spend a good time on High Charity with him, and he is known for "convincing" AI to work on his behalf, namely Mendicant Bias. Also do you think that could potentially play a role in Halo Infinites plot, given the Discover Hope Cotrana tease as well as the plot likely unfolding on Zeta Halo?
Or it could just be a case of shattered fragments of her discarded by her real 'core' may have reformed on their own - with the Domain's help. There are several possibilities.
Wait, wasn't the Brute red plasma rifle in Reach as well? I could have sworn those red plasma rifles were in the game. I would really like to know more about them as they really outclass the blue ones. Hey man, thanks for posting this awesome video! Subscribed. At any rate, you know what's surprising too me...the Banshee's top speed. While its maneuverability and cannons are great it wouldn't stand a chance against modern jets of today. Let's just say they better have great missile countermeasures and lot's of them. Yes, they have tough armor for a fighter but if a standard NATO caliber can tear one up the GAU-8 30mm cannon on an A10 Thunderbolt would absolutely melt a Banshee and from quite a distance away. Hell, we have helicopters that could ruin their day. Of course once the Seraphs come out to play we'd be utterly screwed...providing the Covenant don't grow tired of our jets and glass the lot of us from orbit.
Hey cannon I have just notest what happened to the halo ring in the ladt ring it was put off some how the chunk is in the side of the cukpit when they show us the ring if u notest it too tell me
I hope that the Focus Rifle never sees the light of day again after Reach on MCC/PC, it's SO annoying. Another thing that I hate is that the Campaign Elites can dual wield I'm Reach but the Spartans can't.
@@HaloCanon true, I always like when Covenant weapons are unique, it's just from bad experiences of Waterfront Firefight games with Jackal Snipers spawning with it out of bounds EACH WAVE!
Bro,I dunno about others. But what I know and am sure of is that energy sword uses Methane and an electromagnetic field holds this to form enough grilling heat energy. And you said that they use shaped plasma. Wrong
@@oni5542 maybe yeah. But can you describe plasma? It isn't any energy. And yeah. Plasma doesn't electrify things. We can clearly see electro wave move through from the sword.
@@27-sahidulislam61 The Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword consists of a curved hilt, housing an energy storage module and a device for projecting the plasma which forms the blade. The actual blade is composed of two partially ionized 'blades' of free moving electron based gas held in a blade-like form by two small magnetic-field generators built into the handle of the weapon. This forms and contains the oval shaped, ionized blades for which the weapon is recognized. From Alpha
@@oni5542 that is what I was saying. By the way, the electron based thing you're talking about is methane. Methane burns. Whenever we switch the T-1 EW, it makes a gas trapping sound. This proves it EZly.

Everyone gangster until the tuning fork comes in
Can Jiralhanae Chieftains use the Plasma Turret in this game? I know they can do that in Halo 3.
I think they can but same as you my memory could be mixing with Halo 3
They can, they do in firefight
A great video but the shade turret and its variants? Especially as they can be used in multiplayer too...
Plasma cannon is also used by brute chieftains
10:25 Turn the subs on.
I know it's not a Q&A video but I have a burning question regarding Cortana, Gravemind, and Infinite. Do you think perhaps she had been brainwashed by Gravemind? Or possibly manipulated to take over the galaxy? She did spend a good time on High Charity with him, and he is known for "convincing" AI to work on his behalf, namely Mendicant Bias. Also do you think that could potentially play a role in Halo Infinites plot, given the Discover Hope Cotrana tease as well as the plot likely unfolding on Zeta Halo?
Or it could just be a case of shattered fragments of her discarded by her real 'core' may have reformed on their own - with the Domain's help.
There are several possibilities.
I love your channel :)
Keep up the good work 👍👌👌
15:25 so the scarab is just one big hunter boi
Well duh why else do you think there is a Lekgolo colony as the core of the Scarab
Ok I gotta say, the way you said fist of rukt actually surprised me. I am confusion
Wait, wasn't the Brute red plasma rifle in Reach as well? I could have sworn those red plasma rifles were in the game. I would really like to know more about them as they really outclass the blue ones. Hey man, thanks for posting this awesome video! Subscribed.
At any rate, you know what's surprising too me...the Banshee's top speed. While its maneuverability and cannons are great it wouldn't stand a chance against modern jets of today. Let's just say they better have great missile countermeasures and lot's of them. Yes, they have tough armor for a fighter but if a standard NATO caliber can tear one up the GAU-8 30mm cannon on an A10 Thunderbolt would absolutely melt a Banshee and from quite a distance away. Hell, we have helicopters that could ruin their day. Of course once the Seraphs come out to play we'd be utterly screwed...providing the Covenant don't grow tired of our jets and glass the lot of us from orbit.
Have you already made a forerunner armory video?
If not, maybe that's the next idea?
Well done.
Hey cannon I have just notest what happened to the halo ring in the ladt ring it was put off some how the chunk is in the side of the cukpit when they show us the ring if u notest it too tell me
Is the Beam Rifle not a thing? Did that evolve into one of the weapons featured cause I didnt see it on the list.
The focus rifle evolved into the beam rifle
You forgot the anti aircraft artillery wraiths! Still a great video!
13 yo me: Plasma Pistol is shit!
28 yo me: Plasma Pistol ole friend, cant beat Legendary without you
I wonder how the spikes in the needler actually shoot???????
It's like a miniature rail gun. The projectiles are elongated as the exit the barrel.
Thx ONI
"Iruiru Armory" XD
Wait, I thought the Plasma Repeater became slower but MORE accurate the more heat buildup there was?
What about the Spector???
I hope that the Focus Rifle never sees the light of day again after Reach on MCC/PC, it's SO annoying. Another thing that I hate is that the Campaign Elites can dual wield I'm Reach but the Spartans can't.
I actually really like the Focus Rifle. Felt much more unique than the Beam Rifle.
@@HaloCanon true, I always like when Covenant weapons are unique, it's just from bad experiences of Waterfront Firefight games with Jackal Snipers spawning with it out of bounds EACH WAVE!
Very unique indeed as I can't think of any other weapon that's completely fucking useless yet extremely annoying once you face jackals with it.
Bro,I dunno about others. But what I know and am sure of is that energy sword uses Methane and an electromagnetic field holds this to form enough grilling heat energy. And you said that they use shaped plasma. Wrong
It is described as a plasma sword.
@@oni5542 maybe yeah. But can you describe plasma? It isn't any energy. And yeah. Plasma doesn't electrify things. We can clearly see electro wave move through from the sword.
@@27-sahidulislam61 The Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword consists of a curved hilt, housing an energy storage module and a device for projecting the plasma which forms the blade. The actual blade is composed of two partially ionized 'blades' of free moving electron based gas held in a blade-like form by two small magnetic-field generators built into the handle of the weapon. This forms and contains the oval shaped, ionized blades for which the weapon is recognized.
From Alpha
@@oni5542 that is what I was saying. By the way, the electron based thing you're talking about is methane. Methane burns. Whenever we switch the T-1 EW, it makes a gas trapping sound. This proves it EZly.
I C O N I C
THE GHOST IS 5 AND A HALF TON!?!?!?
343 better not be bullshitting
Only time will tell.
A random internet user it better tell right or else someone getting their booty clapped
Was the brute chopper invented by a covenant engineer?
I think I remember them being farm vehicles, and some brutes just added weapons to them
@@cold_lunch2 I see the Brutes have similar ideas to building armed vehicles as we do.
Reference, the first "tanks" were essentially tractors with guns and armor
Halo War 1 vehicle review plz
Could u do. A halo. 4 unsc armoury please
