The Chopper is best described as an "Anti-Vehicle" vehicle. It's powerful 35mm Autocannons can take down most light ground vehicles with ease, and the large blades on the front can instantly destroy any vehicle (except tanks) with a simple boost. It was intended to be the [[Covenant Loyalist]] analog to the [[Covenant Separatist]] [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghost]], but the two are often used in conjunction, due to the Chopper's superior firepower and the Ghost's superior maneuverability. The [[Brute]] Chopper was uncommon before ''[[Halo 2]]'', when the [[Jiralhanae]] were not actively delegated to frontline battle, but with their resurgence onto the battlelines, it appears that they have brought their vehicles with them. | ||
