In the E3 demo there was this giant canon

I heard that MC can control one

Would that be cool?

The giant cannon is blown up.

I don't know if that is possible but it would wipe out a lot of enemys in one shot.

Yeah, they said that you can use it in the weekly update (I think it was the update). The thing can't move, but they said that at some point there was a reason to bombard someplace with massive plasma bombs.

You would need a team to operate it was so big it would probally take 20 people to operate.

Who says there won't be more of those guns. It would be nice to storm one of those and have the marines (or ODSTs defend you against ground troops.

It would probably be too imbalanced, like a one hit kill AR or something.

It would be ace firing that beast of a cannon into some Covie bastards! Like what they did to our marines in the building in the demo!

Halo is a fps and it will lose that name if the MC climbs into a tank thats bigger then most buildings. MC doesnt like to sit in a chair and kill covies from a distance..MC and most other people like to use bullets not Nuclear Plasma Bolts (Which is what they're called)

I think that it would be nice to have as a treat in at least one level to be able to control a big covie cannon thingy. I wished in Halo that the player could use wraiths somehow, even just once in the game as with the scorpion. I would like for ALL vehicles and turrets to be used by the player at least once in the game. The mortar turret thingy's power would be balanced by the fact that you're a sitting duck, so there might be a use for it in multiplayer too. They would be powerful, but hard to use and very vulnerable due to large size. Another shooter game has a map with a big turret that makes BIG purple explosions, and it works great in a game with tanks and players on foot. It's immense power and range are balanced by it's being stationary, really really big, and it's firing slowly. A specific infantry-deployed anti-big thing weapon would make for a triangular food web and thus encourage teams of various types of forces. I agree that Halo is primarily a first person shooter, but it's nice to have funky options. I liked seeing people with different weapons and vehicles working together to cover each others' weaknesses in Halo and expect more of this in Halo 2.

What if it's a one time use thing? A cruizer is going to drop into the Earth's atmosphere and Cortana suggests using the Giant plasma cannon to take it out of somehting ,so you go in there, kick ass, chew bubble gum, hit the X button and leave the rest to the cinematics team.

And all the information in that EGM was provided by a bungie employee. I think it was from March 2003. I'm not completely sure.
