teh_master_chief 2008-May-25 07:22	I'm thinking Tau. WH40k is one of the most overpowered universes ever. While naval combat isn't exactly the Tau's forte, I'm sure they could go toe to toe with the Covvies if they can best the Space Marines. On the ground, this is simply no contest.
teh_master_chief 2008-May-25 08:28	Fire Warriors and their Pulse Rifles outrange any Covenant infantry by a mile. A Hammerhead tank's Railgun could take out a Scarab or Wraith in 1 hit. Crisis/Broadside Battlesuits are more than a match for a Hunter, with their far greater firepower.
teh_master_chief 2008-May-25 08:29	In space, this is more or less a tie, but Tau dominates the Covenant on the ground.
teh_master_chief 2008-May-29 06:01	Argh why the hell is Tau losing....
Mu La Flaga 2008-May-30 07:24	Lol, Halo is overrated. People also lack the ability to look up one tad of info.
Mu La Flaga 2008-May-30 07:25	I'm actually guessing it's because it says (Halo) next to the Covenant name and people will think "Oh, Halo, thats probably cool"
facelessmaster 2008-May-30 14:00	The Tau never best the space marines, unless they do, in which case the space marines shut up about it anyway.
teh_master_chief 2008-May-30 20:31	By "best" I meant fought to a draw. They did fight to a draw in the Damocles Gulf Crusade. If they can actually fight the Space Marines, they can fight the Covenant.
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-01 06:28	OK this is pretty sad. Covenant's winning by almost twice as many votes, and there hasn't been a single damn person that's attempted to promote their viewpoint!
Mu La Flaga 2008-Jun-01 07:41	The person who suggested this put (Halo) next to the covenant. Also i'm no good with these kinda things, I haven't played either games much.
MCpoons3 2008-Jun-02 17:09	covenant is betar. day hav plasma sords and plasma pistols, day can beet tau easy nuff said.
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-02 17:35	Yeah and I'll bet you all the money in the world you haven't even heard of Tau. Because if you have, you wouldn't think that plasma swords and pistols can win.
MCpoons3 2008-Jun-02 19:15	u noob, plasma pistol cood kil tau eezy bcuz day are plasma wepons. covenant cood just use a shee to kil all tau thing eezy. get ur facts rite noob.
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-03 06:05	What are you, 10? The only n00b here is you. Plasma weapons couldn't kill Tau easy because plasma weapons are better for taking down shields than actual armor. Once again, Pulse Rifles can shoot like miles, outranging any Covenant infantry. Battlesuits
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-03 06:06	could take down Banshees in 1 hit, so Banshees don't work either. Ethereals could give Tau soldiers better morale so that they fight better, or can cause dissent among the Covvie troops (they already have plenty of that).
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-03 06:06	Honestly, with my name, you'd think I knew a *little* about the Halo universe, ignorant child.
MCpoons3 2008-Jun-03 19:03	omg dnt cal me a noob u noob, u da noob u no. covenant hav gavity hamer, day cood kill al of da tau coz it kils in 1 hit
MCpoons3 2008-Jun-03 19:06	needlers cood also kil any batlesuit or wateva noob thing tau hav covenant hav da fule rod canon nd dat cood eezy kil etherels
Mu La Flaga 2008-Jun-03 23:40	....Wow... Way to have ignorance...
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-04 05:57	OK, this is starting to piss me off....my knowledge of Halo far exceeds yours, and you have NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE TAU WHATSOEVER. So do some research, or shut the fuck up. I have Halo 3, I've beaten it on Legendary. I've read First Strike, and there's no
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-04 05:59	way the Covvies can win. A Gravity Hammer can't kill a Tau if it can't touch them in melee. That obviously won't happen if a single pulse rifle shot can take out a Brute or Elite from a mile away. Battlesuits require artillery to destroy, and Needlers
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-04 06:00	have nowhere near that firepower. Hammerhead tanks can destroy Wraiths and Scarabs way beyond their range. Fuel Rod Cannons wouldn't work because the soldiers using them would be sniped by Pulse Rifles long before they get in range.
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-04 06:02	And plus, Ethereals wouldn't go to the front lines anyway, they'd work their magic from the safety of their base or whatever. Halo has no form of magic whatsoever, so they have no protection against an Ethereal's influential powers.
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-04 06:04	Don't bother replying to this until you've got a good background knowledge on WH40k. If you do, you would realize that their races completely eclipse the Halo races in power. The Tau have some of the strongest ranged troops in the game, and the
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-04 06:04	Covenant ground troops would melt before their firepower.
agentCDE 2008-Jun-05 00:30	On the ground, the Tau would wipe the floor with the Covvies. Since their navy is... lacking, that just means a whole lot of cheering, victorious fire warriors get glassed from orbit. D'oh.
teh_master_chief 2008-Jun-05 16:38	Space Marines are a whole lot more powerful than the Covenant, and if their fleets couldn't exterminate the Tau, then the Covenant couldn't either. I'm sure their fleets would be a fairly good match.
shadeslayer 2008-Jul-22 07:11	the covanant would win the same way they "recruited" the hunters... by which i mean they use the naval strength to annihalate the enamy ground forces from space
shadeslayer 2008-Jul-22 07:14	MCpoons3 is the defenition of a noob
shadeslayer 2008-Jul-22 07:15	teh-master.chief needs to learn to compact his comments
shadeslayer 2008-Jul-22 07:16	dont cloaked elites amount to anything?
Tavenger007 2008-Jul-30 04:45	Warhammer rulze!
alexwars1 2008-Aug-03 22:37	everyone sez dat the covenant banshee is good. Have you seen the fucking hammerhead? it will own all those SOBs. The tau also get Kroot and Vespid. Tey pwn u.
Zahr Dalsk 2008-Aug-09 19:44	I'm not why you put in "weak navy.
Zahr Dalsk 2008-Aug-09 19:45	Any single Tau ship has devastating hyper velocity projectiles that could rip a Covenant ship to pieces, not to mention they are far more maneuverable and much larger and better-armoured.
Serenity_Valley 2008-Aug-27 23:44	For the Greater Good!
Serenity_Valley 2008-Aug-28 00:01	Even if the tau were to be at a disadvantage against the covenant (which I doubt the would be), their moral could never be broken so long as even aa single Ethereal was left alive.
Serenity_Valley 2008-Aug-28 00:05	In all likley hood this battle would never take place (even if it were posible), the Tau water cast would simply convert the covenant to the greater good.
