Since there is now the ATV, which is the human equivelent to the ghost, has there been any talk of creating a human equivalent to the Covenant Ghost? Maybe some type of hovercraft, or something that uses dual LAAGs, and a single firing rocket launcher?

I assume that you meant to say banshee instead of ghost the second time, in that case, yea, I'd bet there will probably be a human flyable vehicle.

i really hope there is a small flying vehicle for the marines.... even if it does consist of stolen tech.

Here's an idea. It could be similar to a gyro-copter or an ultralight plane. Generally a metal frame with a simple bucket seat that instead uses four directional thrusters.

I would think a mini pelican that cant carry people but has a LAAG gun 1 pasenger. OR what i would really like to see in both covenant tech and humman is a flying viecle that the driver can onlu pilot and the pasenger can only fire the gun.... TEAMWORK

The problem with a two man flying craft, especially if we're talking "turret" is that getting the tail position isn't as important anymore. It eliminates the thrill of the dogfight.

I'd think that Humans are better off with their Warthogs, but a Ghost is usable by Marines in Halo:CE. There isn't any need for a new vehicle for the Marines, as they aren't supposed to have training operating Covenant vehicles. If I had one new idea for vehicles, it'd be a more lightweight airfighter. Not like the Longswords, which are more of bombers, but a UNSC response to the Banshee.

I think the only thing that should fly in multiplayer is the banshee. In SP i guess now that the turret is on the pelican we will use that a little, but too many flying things isn't that cool. I think halo is more of a FPS and not a run in first person to a plane to fly in 3rd person.

There might be an equivalent. People around here seem to forget that in The Fall of Reach there was the SkyHawk Jumpjet, a Banshee like flyer used by the UNSC. That might come into play if we are lucky.

Mabye Cortana could've picked up the banshee design when abord the truth and reconciliation.
The marines could design something similar but put more human tech(mini jet engines, human metal).
Weapons could could be miniguns(replaces plasma) and grenade launcher(replaces FRL)
