They are so massive I was expecting a rare opponent that is a true challenge for a Spartan, something akin to a Scarab but in the form of a 12 foot warrior.[/quote] Wanted to say that while ya, that is a way of seeing it, maybe that is the role War Sphinxes will play later on, with them being a large heavy hitting vehicle that nukes objects with ridiculous firepower and having mobility and armor to back it up. And yes, according to canon, your War Sphinx does have to power to nuke a continent (well actually, It's probably something more elegant than a nuke, but it has similar destruction capabilities), but it will be dumbed down if put in the games. EG: Scarabs are supposed to be able to destroy an entire city with minimal effort, but I can kill the one on the Ark with a chopper and a sticky. And the dual Scarabs I killed with a Scorpion and two stickies. not exactly city stopping power when a guy in armor that doesn't protect him from small arms can take you down easy. [/quote] It will be dumbed down for gameplay, if the Sphinxes are in, but the canonical abilities of the weapon will still stand with gameplay not being canon. Like how small arms actually [i]are[/i] useless against MJLONIR, but in game they aren't.[/quote] Fair points. Still, I kinda wish it wasn't so separate. Canonical abilities or not, would Humanity really last that long if outside of gameplay the Covenant had the ability to utterly destroy everything? Spartans couldn't even fight grunts without risk up until the battle of installation 04 because the plasma just raped their armor. and ship battles.... that would be the single most depressing thing to see. Lord Hood's second battle of Harvest would have been a bloodbath, 3:1 ratio or not. It's like every time humanity had a chance of getting wiped out, plot protection stepped in. heck, the only realistic death in my opinion is Kat's. But that is getting off point. Ya, Prometheans are going to be nerfed for gameplay purposes, but the extent I feel is going to be blaringly obvious, as opposed to the Covenant
