They also appear in the ''Halo 3''<nowiki />'s campaign level [[Floodgate]], sent by the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' to aid John-117 and Thel 'Vadam against the [[Flood]] infestation in [[Voi]]. The impact is hard enough to break the occupying Elite's energy shield once it hits the ground. In ''Halo 3'', [[Drop pod glitch|one may enter the pods]] on the level Floodgate when playing on [[cooperative play]] as the second, third, or fourth player (an Elite), provided the pods are not shot at all. If the player approaches one and holds the Right Bumper, he can jump into the pod, as if it were a vehicle. | They also appear in the ''Halo 3''<nowiki />'s campaign level [[Floodgate]], sent by the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' to aid John-117 and Thel 'Vadam against the [[Flood]] infestation in [[Voi]].

The Covenant drop pods make a return in ''Halo: Reach'', in which they appear more rounded and bulky than the previous versions. The appearance of the drop pod changed dramatically from the [[Halo: Reach E3 Campaign Demo|E3 2010 demo]] to its launch version. In the E3 demo it appeared to be more boxy and angular, while the launch version is smoother, more detailed and is more like a wider version of the one from ''[[Halo 2]]''. | The Covenant drop pods make a return in ''Halo: Reach'', in which they appear more rounded and bulky than the previous versions.

In the campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]'', the Covenant {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'' launches dozens of drop pods, which are destructible if the player can reach them in time. Destroying the pods, however, does not award kills or points. The daily [[Challenges/Halo: Reach|challenge]] "Pod Kettle Black" is completed by destroying ten drop pods on the level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]''. Interestingly, colliding with or ramming an insertion pod will destroy a fully-shielded [[FSS-1000 Sabre|Sabre]] and kill the player, despite the fact that the Sabre will typically survive a similar collision with a [[Elsedda-pattern Banshee|Banshee]] or [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|Seraph]]. The death will register as "Collision Damage" and the player will receive a "Collision Damage" kill, but will not receive a [[Splatter Medal]]. Additonally near the beginning of the level, drop pods are used to drop Covenant troops near the Sabre base. | In the campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]'', the Covenant {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'' launches dozens of drop pods, which are destructible if the player can reach them in time.
