In the article it incorectly states the auto cannon used by the spirit and Phantom is the Light Plasma Mortar. This is  incorrect becuse having played the game,  there are numerus differences in how the two cannons perform mainly the lack of the mortar head color differences and the lack of an arc on the Plasma. I belive that that was most likely prerelese speculation and should be taken out.'''[[User talk:Dragrath1|Dragrath1]] 19:37, September 25, 2010 (UTC)'''

== Designation Change to Type-25 ==
I was actually really surprised how [http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1091093 this makes complete sense]. Stephen Loftus seems to have confirmed it from his experience collaborating with 343, though as a fan I'm not sure what his opinion is worth. -- [[User:Specops306|'''<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>''']] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u>''<font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font>''</u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u>''<font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font>''</u>]] 06:26, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
:Page 184 of ''The Essential Visual Guide'' confirms that the Spectre was first encountered in 2546, and ''Waypoint'' says that [http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/banshee-fighter/82613d70-17cc-4652-8ab1-a1f16e29c516 the space Banshee was first encountered in 2527]. We know that the plasma pistol, the Spiker, the Chopper, and likely the Brute Shot were first encountered at Harvest in 2525. The "Enemies" section of the Halo: ''Reach'' website states that the Sangheili were deployed against humanity immediately after the First Battle of Harvest, which makes it likely that the plasma rifle was first seen at that time.
:The problem is that several weapons and vehicles were first encountered years earlier than their designations may suggest. For example, the T-33 LAAW was first encountered in 2531, as stated both [http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fuelrod here] and in ''The Essential Visual Guide'', and as seen in ''Homecoming''. The Ghost, the Needler, the beam rifle, the Scarab, and the Locust - which isn't mentioned in that article - were all first encountered before 2531. The Type-52 DESW was encountered as early as 2544, as seen in ''The Package''.
:Taking every designation at face value suggests that the Covenant didn't deploy key pieces of their arsenal until years into the war, though the ''EVG'' clearly states that the designs of most of these assets were thousands of years old. Unsurprisingly, some of the guys on ''HBO'' have tried to throw around ''"halo wars isnt canon cuz it wasnt made by bungie lol"'' and ''"they didnt hav teh story bible"'' nonsense, but they have no solid ground to stand on. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 11:24, 1 August 2011 (EDT)
It doesn't make sense that the Covenant wouldn't employ sniper rifles until 2550, or heavy weapons until 2533. Plus, Halsey's journal describes either a Plasma Launcher or Concussion Rifle (likely the former) being encountered by UNSC personnel well before either of their introduction dates. Also, the needler makes a key appearance in a ''Halo Wars'' cutscene (I don't remember the name of the cutscene or level, but it's the one where Forge and Anders are ambushed by Stealth/Spec Ops Elites in the Harvest artifact). The Elites are ''all'' clearly seen wielding needlers. When you look at this system at first, it makes sense, but upon closer examination, it's full of holes.

I got an OK answer.  There WERE Snipers on 04, but you just never encountered them.  The only places where I can see them being there are maybe The Silent Cartographer, The Truth and Reconciliation, and Assault on the Control Room/Two Betrayals.  Vegerot goes RAWR!  [[User:Vegerot|<span style="color:midnightblue; font-weight:bold">Vegerot</span>]] ([[User talk:Vegerot|<span style="color:grey">talk</span>]])  13:04, 4 September 2011 (EDT)!!!
:Waypoint's article on the fuel rod gun confirms that Covenant matériel is named for the year in which it is cataloged by ONI. This is usually the same as the year in which it is first encountered, (T25 DER, T27 XMF, T46 ISV, T48 LAGC), but there are exceptions; the article states that while the T33 LAAW was first encountered on Harvest in 2531, ONI did not catalog it for a further two years. This also explains why the Ghost and the needler are designated Type-32 and Type-33, respectively, despite having been encountered in 2531 or earlier. This creates some weirdness, though: the Phantom, the carbine, and the beam rifle were encountered in 2531, and the T52 DESW was seen as early as 2544; all were seen throughout the war, yet ONI failed to catalog them until near the end. I suppose this is justified, as cataloging a weapon would take much more than saying, ''"Hey guys. This weapon exists; watch out for it."'' Better late than never, I suppose. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 09:13, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
Resurrecting an old topic, but rather than being the year they were first ''encountered'', perhaps the Type indicates the year it was ''recovered''? Spartans have standing orders to recover any examples of intact Covenant technology, and we know that at least some Covenant Weapons, ie; the Energy Sword, and the Fuel Rods in Combat Evolved, have failsafes to prevent their use. -- [[User:Specops306|'''<font color=indigo>Specops306</font>''']] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u>''<font color=blue><sup>Autocrat</sup></font>''</u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u>''<font color=purple><sup>Qur'a 'Morhek</sup></font>''</u>]] 19:51, 15 February 2012 (EST)

::Perhaps an indication that none have been recovered?

Sorry for resurrecting this but if the number after the type represents the year the UNSC recovered Covenant tech intact then how do you explain the Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform otherwise known as the Scarab? It was Catalogued in 2547 and it would technically be hard to hijack one.--[[User talk:Theraptor92|Theraptor92]] 19:07, 11 May 2012 (EDT)
== One of the images in the gallery has wrong informations ==
Hello, first time editor here. I noticed that one of the pictures in the image gallery mistakes the front of the ship for the back and vice versa. I decided to make a fixed version of the image, also rearranging the order of the images to make it look more sensed graphically.
My problem is that when i go editing the gallery to put my file instead of the old one it appears to work in the preview window, but not in the actual page. Is there some sort of requirement i am missing to edit a page?

==Replacement by the Phantom?==
Early on during Halo 2 and even during Halo Wars' respective releases, I remember a lot of talk about the Spirit being phased out on the frontlines and superseded by the Phantom. However, they apparently are still in use after the war with the Remnant. So has this information long since been retconned? I presume both dropships are in common service still now.[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 00:14, 14 February 2014 (EST)
:I always assumed the Spirit had started to get phased out as early as 2531 due to a Phantom (at the time always thought it was the Type-52, but since the Type-44 popped up in Halo 4 it might even be a "Type-31" Phantom or something) appearing in Halo Wars: Genesis. Given that Jul 'Mdama's Covenant remnant is grabbing anything they can get their hands on it would make sense to make use of the Spirits, even if they are a little older. However you could always make the argument that it was never getting phased out, a military can have multiple kinds of transports or dropships. [[Wikipedia:List of active United States military aircraft|The US Military uses multiple kinds of aircraft even for the same role.]][[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith-venator Wavingstrider</span>]] [[File:Fett helmet.jpg|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Commlink</span>]]) 01:58, 14 February 2014 (EST)
You make a fair point. I only ask since the Spirits were nowhere to be seen between Halo: CE and Halo Wars.[[User:262VigilantGuardian|262VigilantGuardian]] ([[User talk:262VigilantGuardian|talk]]) 02:06, 14 February 2014 (EST)
==Halo 5: Guardians Spirit==
I know it hasn't been stated directly. But I think its safe to assume that with almost all the vehicles in Halo 5 being new variants that this Spirit is a new variant also. <br>
A Type-57 Spirit I would guess(though the name is more theory. It being a new variant isnt.<br>
Regardless wouldn't it be an idea to add a section stating that its at least a new variant till we are 100% certain? - [[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 10:25, 9 October 2015 (GMT)
:It is probably a new Spirit, but without a name we have nowhere else to put the info without creating a page called "Unidentified Spirit model". So like with the Phantom I'm just keeping everything here until we get confirmation.[[User:Sith Venator|<span style="color:green">Sith Venator</span>]] [[File:Mega Blastoise.gif|20px]] ([[User talk:Sith Venator|<span style="color:blue">Dank Memes</span>]]) 06:11, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
