It is not specifically known why the Spirit was removed from Halo 2 and 3, however it could be that the Phantom was in the process of replacing it as a newer model, or that the Phantom was preferred by Bungie. | It is not specifically known why the Spirit was removed from Halo 2 and 3, however it could be that the Phantom was in the process of replacing it as a newer model, or that the Phantom was preferred by Bungie.[[Image:COVIEDropship.jpg|thumb|right|A Covenant Spirit dropship.]] | ||

The Spirit, as it occurs in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] is indestructible, unless a mod for the [[Halo PC|PC]] version is used for one shot kills. Then it will simply looked as if it had been burned, it loses its ball turret and all occupants die. No amount of firepower that the player can bring to bear is capable of bringing the ship down if no mods are added. The best tactic, if on lower difficulty levels, is to attack the vulnerable infantry (shoot or toss a grenade) as they disembark from the Spirit. On higher difficulties, this would be unwise, hiding behind cover until the ship leaves is often the best course of action in this situation. Without cover or good tactics a careless player will die very quickly. As well as providing heavy support in combat it can drop off a unit of [[Covenant]] in the battle field. The unit is dispersed by getting out of the side of the dropship. | The Spirit, as it occurs in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] is indestructible, unless a mod for the [[Halo PC|PC]] version is used for one shot kills.
