For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

The vehicles look interesting, except the new Hornet.
It's meant to be a gunship, it's meant to overwhelm infantry, it's meant to kill everything it touches.
Now it's Halo 2's Banshee all over again? Now with even more ways to bring it down*? This is a sad day. Snow Scorpion looks nice at least, hopefully that'll show up unchanged.
*Yes, the Laser is more unfair than the homing Rocket Launcher. Light travels much faster than a small rocket engine I assure you, and not to mention the Missile Pod, LAAG, Gauss Cannon and HV Cannon all wanting a try at the aircraft.It's true, the laser completely ruins the whole air combat experience. You literally have to spend your whole time just worrying where it is. The Banshee needs better armor.
Well, I have to respectively disagree, as the Banshee is meant to be highly mobile, and has been since Halo CE. I merely drew conclusions about the Arctic Hornet and it as Halo 2's multiplayer Banshee lacked any use without its Fuel Rod Cannon, and the only thing it had a high chance of killing was a lone infantry with basic weapons, or the Wraith. The Arctic Hornet's now taken on that role, and is a flying piece of junk. Of course, if it had something to replace the missiles (afterburner, nose-mounted .50 cal cannon) then I would be enjoying it a lot more. Variations are only useful if they change up the advantages they give the user.
