Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Um... I don't think the Corps still use Harriers. I believe they have been phased out of service. The Marines use the Hornet now VERY extensivly. And I believe it has taken over all the roles of the Harrier. Oh, and FYI, in the books the Humans do have a counterpart to the Banshee. I can't think of the name of it though. It's mention in FoR.

This wouldn't fit along with any storylines in Halo so I'll probably get killed for suggesting it but what about a 2 person human aircraft (with VTOL). The Pilot would have a rocket/missle mounted on the front for taking out other aircraft, or vehicles if he pointed the nose down. The passenger would have a powerful LAAG (like 5 barrels) mounted on the bottom with independent rotation, like the LAAG on the warthog.

Qazx that suggestion is not a deviation from storyline, but of gameplay....well sort of.

Now then for what I actually have to say.

AA stands for Ant-Aircraft, not anti-armor
LAAG stands for Light Anti-Aircraft Gun
Hornet and Wasp are currently non-exsistent models in the Halo universe, so let's stick with the SkyHawk Jumpjet described in The Fall of Reach. It would make a great single man hover assault craft. Heck Bungie could use this design for it, just thin it down a little.
The Longsword is too big and is more meant to deliver high end explosives onto a larger target. They are also meant for fighter-fighter combat. And taking on Banshees would be pointless considering the main threat to the Longsword is a Seraph.
Also we currently (in the real world) have single piloted jets for those that thought we do not.

I fail to see how you can declare your idea better than anyone else's.

First one is over kill for Halo.
Second one is way too overkill for any game.
Third one would work if it only had two guns.
The fourth one doesn't look all that appealing and is triple overkill.

I understand your logic behind having a human counter-part to the Banshee, but keep in mind, even in the year 2552, i still dotn htink human's technology is advanced enough to make such an aircraft. I know its a game and its not supposed to be realistic or whatever, but just think about it: a human jet the size of a car? I dont see it happening.


well i definetely see it happening, the technologie of war is going so fast right now!
the US already have very high tech bombers and yets that can go verticaly up!
so why not 548 cant we have a plane that carries one person!
go take a look at discovery channel to be up to date, you've been living in a cave bro!

If the weapons were made smaller then it might work, because those cannons and missiles are freaking huge!

ok, so we agree that those cannons, if shorter, would rock halo 2

all of those look way too non-haloish

this is by hikiru 119:First one is over kill for Halo.
Second one is way too overkill for any game.
Third one would work if it only had two guns.
The fourth one doesn't look all that appealing and is triple overkill.

i agree with him fully those are bigtime overkill
