No there isn't but UNSC does so much more damage...so its all about strategy, both sides have pros and cons its all about how you use it.

That's just one of the Captians abilities.
The shield takes up a spot thought that could be used for something else. The UNSC could also use the MAC gun, and if that thing is upgraded to fire more shots it does alot of damage to the shields.

ya the mac gun can kill a base in 4 to 5 shots.

It's not overpowered at all. The MAC blast owns and with one of the other leaders you have a carpet bomb.

Also, the UNSC have that healing circle, might just be the Captain, but I see that as a major thing the Covenant don't have.

yeah, sgt forge's abilities seem OP
carpet bomb, grizzly tanks, and supply pads start out as heavy pads... that's not even fair

the point of a rts is to have multiple factions that are all differnt and all have tehre pros and cons so that means evn though the covenant have base sheilds they arent a unfair advantage

There isn't one SUPER OP thing. Everything can be stopped by other things.
That's why its a strategy based game and especially when you play online 3v3
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO
much teamwork and strategy will be needed I can't wait

Completly descimates the covy base in about 4 shots. Not only that but since all you have to do is fly a hornet over teh base you can effectivly win the game in less then 5 min.
But theres no fun in that.

are we forgetting the prophets abilities when upgraded??? i mean that cleansing beam doesnt just disinfect the other teams base ya know... also the hunters and other strong forces that the covenant have are the almost unstoppable SCARAB!!! lol and no the points for it are not hard to acquire if u know how to use ur second base. also some1 else said that the healing ring thing is OP? the covenant have one 2 but it floats around and heals anything around it.
