An early version of the Comm Node was a specialized variant of the standard [[Covenant Supply Case]]. The Covenant used these large portable crates to connect to the [[Battlenet]] for communication. Although extremely similar in appearance to the supply case, their sides appear to have folded outwards, producing a small screen and keyboard for Battlenet interface. Their range is unknown and they may be able to function in many types of environment, as they have been seen in use in a wide variety of locations. It is speculated that their primary use is for relaying information from planet surfaces to Covenant ships in orbit, although it is equally possible that they are simply used for ground communications. One time, during the game the player will encounter an unfortunate [[Elite]] distracted using one of these, just ripe for being [[assassination|assassinated]] from behind.<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', level [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]]</ref> | An early version of the Comm Node was a specialized variant of the standard [[Covenant Supply Case]].

In ''Halo 2'', they are similar to Covenant visual recording devices, but have large metal antennae protruding from the top of the casing. If the Crate is functioning, the antenna will be encased in a purple energy field. However, if the player shoots the crate, the charge over the antenna will flicker and disappear.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', level [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]]</ref> | In ''Halo 2'', they are similar to Covenant visual recording devices, but have large metal antennae protruding from the top of the casing.

In ''Halo 3'', the Communication Nodes were redesigned to have a more elegant shape. Again, they can be destroyed, in which case the bluish energy field will disappear. | In ''Halo 3'', the Communication Nodes were redesigned to have a more elegant shape.
