The Covenant
According to the new Waypoint entry on the Covenant, the "control and usage of hard light" was one of the Forerunner technologies they reverse-engineered. This, of course, goes against the Minister of Discovery's statement in Wages of Sin. I'm not sure how we should approach this—as an outright conflict, or making a compromise saying the Covenant could use hard light to a limited extent (the holo-drones could be an example) but nowhere near the level of the Forerunners. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:56, 12 November 2014 (EST)
- The aforementioned example of the holo-drones probably shows understanding of using hardlight, but then, we haven't seen those used by anyone else, and the Heretic Leader did have a lot of contact with 343 Guilty Spark, who already seems to have let him use some Forerunner tech in the form of the Sentinels. I'd be very disappointed if the energy sword got retconned to be hardlight. Other than that, I can't think of a single instance of the Covenant using hard light.
