For an anti aircraft gun, the humans could have a stationary miniature version of the MAC (magnetic accelerator cannon) like in the books. It would be like the railgun that is on the back of the warthog in the E3 2003 trailer.

Hell yeah I would like the humans to have air craft and all that stuff you said because it would be more fair.

well i think the human air craft should be like an orc fighter from C&C gold, exept with chain guns as well as rockets. as for AA we got a warthog and a rocketluancher, what we need is covey AA.

First of all HTES realy needs to chill. and im thinkin that a one manned aircraft one side of me says yes and teh other siade says cheap and unbalanced i liek how u in MP there was one type of aircraft and u had to controll it an kill it from teh ground if u dint have your own. i just like the feelin of bein ground force only and i think human turrets are AA guns including the LAAG and they made teh rocketlauncher track so that balencis it as well im pushing for just a banshee. ok now here the other side of me if we did have a one man fighter it should be a chopper BUT have the levitational thingies that they use on the pelican and just use the blade part to manuever

Why dont the UNSC forces use Unmanned robots to fight the covenant? its the future where are the giant robots and lazer guns? and why havent the human forses reversed engineered a banshee to make a human version? or any other covie ships that were damaged in space and ground battles?

It is very possible for a VerticalTakeOffandLanding unit (VTOL) to be made in 500 years they already have a car sized helocopter/airplane that when it hovers to a high enough altitude its engines tilt forward so it goes forward. imagine smaller pelican engines a motorcyle type bodied airplane with wings attached to thos engines on the pelican only much smaller it could have a chain gun on the under carriage and a rocket laucher (non-seeking to balance with banshee) on the wing the cockbit would be a laid back cockpit (laying down bacwards) with a small window and cameras displaying the rest of the regions around the aircraft u could also have a ladder that he climbed up onto as say the -blam!- pit opened and he got in. It's landing gear would be little wheels (like on the pelican in the E3 2003 demo) that extend and retract they would have shocks for a nice smooth landing. It would fly the same speed hovering capibilities etc. as the banshee it would also have after burners like the banshee and excellerate the same speed as the banshee with boost on they could also throw in a way to board this vehicle by the player boarding would pull out one of his guns and shoot a hole through the -blam!- pit into the driver making his computer automatically bail him out

i thinked about something smaller than a warthog...
something like a jump pack but with a single impeller engine placed behind the pilot seat... the engine can rotare making the thrust both vertical and orizzontal... the vehicle can turn in the air thanks to two big flaps placed in the left and in the right side of the engine wich deviate the air produced from the engine for the turn... the pilot is protected from sides by the vehicle's hull... the pilot is vulnerable by the front where there's nothing about the flying controls... the flying controls are linked to vehicle' main hull in the upper part of it and they are gripped by pilot's hands by the top like a handlebar,,,
it's hard for me to choose a good weapon because this vehicle may lose the thrust's power by the flight's height... in this way have to defend itself both from the air and the ground... it could be deadly for the ground troopers with a flamethrower but it have no use with the banshees... i can't find a good weapon for it... may be a railgun, but i don't like this one because it's too powerfull.. i hope that i was clear

thank you tex mex matt and rosario that is a good idea and very detailed except i dont like the part where there is not much armor in the front on the covenant banshee the front had a ton of armor so i would like lots of armor there too but good idea otherwise

[color=gold] i thought LAAG was Light anti aircraft gun, well any ways i would preffer the antiair craft turret to fire flack like in the begging of the 03 demmo, plasma flack not human flack, so it would have to be a covanent weapon [/color]

yea a guass rifle that could shoot really far and accurate and be powerful would be an awsome anti-aircraft gun

ok first off, guys stop insulting each other its just a discussion on new stuff. if you can't control your anger then stop posting.

Anyways, i think that the idea of the thing from T3 is awesome, and there could be a jetpack in some levels on master chief's armor that worked for a short time and recharged, like that james bond game on xbox.

also, although in the first book it says the humans have no progress in anti gravity tech (when dr halsey and keyes are flying to eridani to meet mc for the first time) but the humans could have reversed-engineered banshee tech.

Also if they made a ship like the banshee with light guns on the front (power of assault rifle) then had the secondary weapon a bomb that dropped straight down for massive damage from where you fired it.

they could also have a helicopter that hovers and flies slowly.

It would be sweet if you could pilot a pelican and have strafing runs to take out covenant before landing, and you could paradrop marines onto the ground before landing yourself. Napalm runs anyone?

The equivelant to the banshee would be the longsword fighters. so as long as i get to fly those im happy (Hint Hint Bungie) =). And for the anti-aircraft . . . they do have human turrets and i think if you made them any better at killing air then it would make banshees and what not boring.

the human banshee would be like a small fighter jet and the anti-aircraft gun would be like a missile tracking device that shoots down banshees and covenant dropships and you could man the anti-aircraft gun like a turret the human banshee would have a machine gun like the warthog chain gun that you could fire to be like the plasma fire of the human banshee and a tracking rocket to be like the fuel rod of the human banshee

and if anyone has any other ideas then post them in your replys


Just one word: punctuation.

Flak cannons wouldn't be that bad of an idea. They could be human or covenant. For covenant, it would be like the E3 03 demo. For human it would look like a normal flak cannon. They would be deadly against careless pilots, but skilled might be harder to take down. It could be deadly to a banshee yet not have very good aim to even it out.
And yes the LAAG was a light AA gun, but it could never aim very high which defeated the purpose.
