Yes, it may look coventant, but look at the armment. Those are most definately chain-guns, which were never used by the covies. The tail fins give it away as human too.

Maybe they're the new Brute vehicles we're supposed to be seeing in Halo 3?

Sure, the tail fin and general layout of the craft look human, but why would it be a special "top-secret" transmission if it were an ordinary human vehicle?

It can be either of two things: A new Brute vehicle of some sort, or a classified UNSC vehicle. I can't imagine it being a mainstream Covenant vehicle of the "purplish" variety, but it's still rather ambiguous. We'll know what it is soon enough, I guess.

haha... yea but all we can see of them is 2 long prongs on either side that come from a small turret ball thing...... maybe chain gun... maybe not...

Now that the pic has cleared up a bit more...Its starting to not look like a chain gun.

 

But they may be definitely human craft.  We'll still have to wait until it fully clears up.

Is VTOL (Similar harrier propulsion) helicopter , two chaingun and one gun HE (High Explosive) to oppose a covenant banshee (remeber two laser and one plasma cannon)!

 Is similar at ORCA or aircaft of G-police (remember?)

Halo wars is strategic game and in all RTS the unit has balanced to enemy faction , example:

Scorpion - Wraith = (heavy assault)

Warthog - Spectre = (medium assault)

Mangoose - Ghost = (scouting)

Orca (???) - Banshee = (air intercecptor)

??? - Shadow = (ground trasport unit)

 Pellican = Phantom (air trasport unit)

Longsword - Seraph (heavy air assault)

 

It's all....sorry for my english (i'am italian)....oh and i hope this ORCA there is in halo3.....

I think we may be overthinking this. My theory now is that they are merely Human Gunships. New gunships. They, to me, appear to be helicopters without the blades. They are vertical lift Gunships. That's my going theory anyway.

It's Skyhawk = Banshee

Pelican = Spirit

Albatross = Phantom

For the guy who said it might be a Brute vehicle, the chopper comes to mind.

Doles out the Harshness.
Use this. Know this. Love this.

There is no brute in halo wars, the timeline is before halo1....

Skyhawk? Spirit? Albatross?

srry for my bad englisch i'm dutch

---

It's more or less clear now, i'd say they're 99% unsc gunships

Oh yeah, definitely looks like Human Gunships...

 

Even at 88% complete. 

---

at like80% you could tell what it was because of the colour and oblique angles because the covenant dont have sharp corners all there ships are smooth and rounded

---

I think it is a completed version of the "Kestrel" (bird species name). Here is the concept art of this vehicle: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Kestrel

You know, I think you're right there Zuka. The eye now looks like the fans.
