| The '''Covenant Artillery'''<ref>''[[Halo 2 E3 Demo]]''</ref> is a piece of ground-based [[Covenant]] field artillery.
| |
| | |
| It fires bolts of plasma similar to those of the [[Wraith]] tanks in indirect parabolic trajectories. Even a single impact is extremely damaging.

| The Covenant Arillery was first seen in the ''[[Halo 2 E3 Demo]]''. When the [[Covenant]] invaded [[Mombasa]], they stationed a handful of artillery pieces on the ground, which demolished UNSC buildings. Eventually, [[SPARTAN-117]] and his group of [[Marine]]s encountered one, and [[Sergeant]] [[Banks]] called in a [[Longsword]] airstrike to destroy the stationary mortar.

| The roles of the Covenant Artillery pieces as an active part of the Covenant assault were greatly downgraded in ''[[Halo 2]]'', as the entire [[First Battle of Earth]] was downgraded. The [[Covenant]] appearantly placed several artillery pieces on the beachheads of [[New Mombasa]], but did not fire them.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[Outskirts]]''</ref>

| The Covenant Artillery was seen briefly in a reworked format in the ''[[Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer]]''. One under control of the [[Covenant Loyalists]] was stationed on an African cliff and shot down a nearby [[Longsword]] starfighter. It was later destroyed by the [[Master Chief|Chief]] and the [[Arbiter]] during the [[Battle of Voi]] so that [[Lord Hood]] Could start a bombing run on the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. <ref>''[[Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer]]''</ref> A partially constructed Artillery piece was seen shortly after the Chief and his team of [[ODSTs]] were dropped in on the level [[The Ark]].
