Votes for merger with Shade

Hey guys. As you can see from http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/halo3.aspx (click Vehicles , Covenant Vehicles, then click the ball turret pic), you'll see that it is called "shade". The ball turret name is just what fans dubbed it. Merge?

For

• Per above--Spartan-781 ^Comm_CSV 07:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
• Yeah. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 15:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
• For, both have the same name --Ajax 013 16:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
• For, its just an updated shade. --EliteSpartanFile:Halo3.comchief.PNG ^{My Talk} _{My Contribs}File:Sergeant.jpgFile:GDI.jpg 22 September 2007
• I beleive it should be merged. Just cause it doesnt look like the Halo CE gun doesn't mean it isn't a shade.

Neutral

1. Although it is called the same on the website, it looks completely, and too different from its last version for me to believe(without further evidence) that they are different. Then again, like many things in Halo 3, this could just be another update sort of thing.—This unsigned comment was made by Phil.e. (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Is this destructable?

probably, the sheilded one in H2 was destructable so they'll probably go with the same with a rocket or grenade blastHollywood 23:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Acronym

What does "ASG" mean?

Nobody really knows, we can't decide, so we are leaving it be. --Ajax 013 15:46, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

We have a clue of it that it is "Anti-infantry Stationary Gun", according to Bungie Player Stats, and I'm pretty sure that that is what ASG means :) --Spartan-781 ^Comm_CSV 08:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

If you guys are still not sure, might I suggest "Armored Stationary Gun"?

Turret Differences

I noticed that the Shielded Plasma Cannon and the Shade are merged. I don't understand this since they're different turrets altogether. While you can argue that the "ball turret" from Halo 3 is different it is called a Shade in numerous sources. The Shielded Plasma Cannon is never called a shade. Also the two are very different in appearance. The Shielded Plasma Cannon is attached to the ground while the shade hovers above its base. I think the two turret types should be separated or this articles should be about the Covenant's stationary turrets

Template Image

I think we should put a picture of the Halo:Combat Evolved Shade in the Template on top of the Halo 3 Shade, because the Shade has 2 incarnations and it makes sense to put both up.Thunderstream328 _{Here me rawr Stuff I've done} 21:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
