The single-occupant pods were the sole variety of Covenant drop pod featured in the games until ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', which introduced the multiple-troop version. The pods made their first appearance in the [[Halo 2 E3 Demo]], where the Elites came down and openly challenged John-117 with their [[energy sword]]s. In the games, they first appear in the ''Halo 2''<nowiki />'s campaign level [[Outskirts]] and subsequently are present around [[Mombasa]]. They also appear in the campaign levels [[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]], [[Quarantine Zone(level)|Quarantine Zone]], and [[Uprising]], occupied by allies of the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]]. | The single-occupant pods were the sole variety of Covenant drop pod featured in the games until ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', which introduced the multiple-troop version.
