The Enhanced Covenant (Weapons)

I read in a GameFAQ that the covenant "mettalic" elites have enhanced armor and "interesting and random explosive weapons". I have almost gotten to this stage in the game. (I have always just played multiplayer.) But, I have never seen a mod that incorporates these weapons, as I would expect people to jump at the chance to use them. So, do they really carry special weapons, or is that just in books, or what? If they really are in the game, has somebody incorporated them already? Or, is it just gravity rifles?

GameFAQS lied to you. The weapons are standard through out the game. And gravity rifles aren't even playable, just a cool weapon hidden in the data with model that doesn't match the bitmap at all.

Oh brother! So, am I right in concluding that they don't have them in the xbox version either? Is it even in the books?!?!? I don't like being fooled like that.

Nope the xbox maps contain pretty much the same stuff as the PC maps. 'Cept the xbox ones have compressed data, internalized bitmaps and sounds and a different model format. The only thing new to HPC are a few levels and the fuelrod and flamethrower (multiplayer only).
