A Covenant gunship. Here is a long description that most people will never read:

Spectre
Only limited information is available on this elusive aircraft. It has recently been encountered in planetside skirmishes with Covenant forward scouting parties. It seems to be able to toggle between deploying its shields, active camouflage and radar transparency, and charging its main cannon. The main armament of the Spectre gunship is a "gravslinger," which apparently uses the contra-gravity field generated by the ship's engines to hurl massive projectiles forward at relativistic speeds, completely decimating large areas regardless of the amount of armor or defenses. This weapon produces an eerie sound as it charges, leading to paranoia in infantry if they survive their first encounter. For air-to-air combat, the Spectre has eight externally mounted low-yield anti-matter missiles, but despite this massive advantage fares poorly in air combat because it was designed for air-to-surface attacks and raids, where speed matching that of Seraphs and Longswords is not necessary. Other weapons include high-velocity fuel rod cannon mounted on the tips of both "wings," a heavy plasma-based flamethrower on the nose, and four automated pulse lasers that attack targets without direction from the lone operator. While it has a relatively low cruise speed, the Spectre has unmatched reaction time and handling for any atmospheric aircraft - it can do almost anything with its gravity controlling field. However, while building the gravity catapult for its main gun it cannot maneuver at all and all non-critical systems are deactivated to divert power to the gravslinger. Those systems include active camo and shields, giving us a one minute window to disable the craft or be destroyed. The entire package is roughly 22' long, and 8' in height, with a wingspan of 16'. It seems that the favored strategy employed by Elite pilots is to engage units far from the target with its shields up, slip into stealth mode, then reemerge with an ideal firing solution on our outposts. So far none of these craft have been captured intact, and it would appear that only someone with the reflexes of a SPARTAN-II could pilot this nimble gunship.

the MWTBV (Mobile White Trash Battle Vehicle) would be awesome! it would be a trailer with beer can throwing rednecks that cussed at you in it. the beer cans would make you drunk and you would pass out and die

Here is my idea: Just put to extra seats in the warthog.so It has four seats and a gunner.
Also, I would like a human banshee with a six barrel chain gun and some rocket pods.

Yea, I can imagine the Marines sitting with legs legs propped against the seats in the back firing at pursuing ghosts while the passenger and machinegunner clear the path... Would be quite awesome I think.

Also, thanks for saying my idea is good. My philosophy is "build something you'd want to own."

I really like the idea of an M1-like tank.

I'm thinking an APC with a LAAG on it would be nice.

Alright new idea, what about an amphibious assult vehicle? It could be just a warthog with pontoons, but I'm thinking something like a mini tank (wheels not treads) only instead of a huge gun turrent how 'bout some vulcans and a mounted stationary gun also have like 4-5 seats in the back. Now that would be cool to drive!

i would make a bubble which you can ride and the wind controlls. Which has a self destruct button that kills all only you survive

I know, I know mechs are cliched (and mechas more so :p), but I just have to post this from my collection of sci-fi junk I've written with no real purpose:

Heavy Mechanized Body Armor Model 168A2 “Shootist” Configuration - The most mobile firepower available outside of a vehicle. The HMBA possesses unmatched resistance to ballistic and energy weaponry; it has nanite-embedded 4cm hard-plastic armor with a refractive coat and reactive add-ons, all covered by an advanced Argus laser anti-missile system. This unit is practically invulnerable to small arms fire. While the protection afforded by the HMBA is impressive, the trait it is known for is its vast array of potent weaponry. The Shootist’s armaments are as follows: one arm-mounted light gauss rifle, one shoulder-mounted Trident type plasma beam, one back-mounted automatic 130mm mortar, dual arm-mounted scattercannon (scaled-up shotguns firing either tankshot or sabot rounds), four automated point-defense machineguns firing the 10x71mm hi-explosive round, one chest-mounted plasma-based flamethrower, one shoulder-mounted rack of six 95mm Stalker emissions-seeking fire-and-forget surface-to-air missiles, and a special utility tow hook, commonly known as a beam harpoon (a spear connected to the HMBA by a spidersilk cable and with a plasma bore drill on the tip for climbing, hitching a ride on friendly vehicles, or snaring/impaling enemies). For every weapon except the Stalker missile rack the HMBA relies on a full MTHEMP-SA/X (motion, thermal, electro-magnetic pulse, seismic, acoustic, and spectral analysis) sensor suite coupled with a powerful active radar for its automatic targeting system. The radar has a maximum detection radius of 850m. The Shootist is powered by a fusion reactor in the back compartment, and the plasma generator is safely located within the Trident cannon itself. The HMBA’s maximum speed over rough terrain is 25kph. Its speed increases on paved ground but the handling becomes difficult. To move more quickly, the HMBA has jumpjets integrated into the boots for long jumps of up to 25m. One problem with the HMBA is its heat buildup – with multiple heavy energy weapons firing in quick succession the liquid cooling system can be overwhelmed in a matter of seconds, especially if the Trident or flamethrower is/are being fired. Firing after the critical temperature has been reached may cause a full system shutdown, and individual weapons systems may be damaged beyond repair. The interior of the Shootist can become dangerously hot for unaugmented humans when an overheat occurs. The interior consists of a thick layer of reactive gel that changes in temperature and density to protect the operator from extreme ambient temperatures and shockwaves and seal wounds quickly. The HMBA is sealed against a vacuum and possesses an oxygen recycler that can provide air for approximately one hour and thirty minutes even with elevated intake by the operator. A neural chip is not required for the HMBA (it is controlled by body movements and hand controllers – despite being 14' tall and weighing 16 tons, the HMBA is still body armor) but having one can greatly facilitate control of any type of mechanized armor. The visor sports standard visible spectrum and hyperspectral vision modes, with an intuitive threat-assessment based targeting program.

I have another if this one is good, it's a kind of wing-sprouting jetpack.

One question Terran Grunt, why do all your vehical descriptions have to be so detailed? While many people are asking that I'm saying Iike it, especily the mech, way better than mine wich only has a chaingun on each arm.

A note to all: keep 'em coming!

My dream vehicle...A unit carrier with mounted machine gun and a rear para. Leather Interior =D! If you play grand theft auto and youve seen the barracks OS or the barracks OL then you will understand except smaller.

Because my dream vehicles have to work in real life, not just Halo. :p
This way, when they make VR Halo they'll know exactly what to put in.

[color=metallicorange] i would like a some sort of go--kart with 200H.P and two machine guns on each side of the go-kart and a rocket in the middle of the go-kart and the color of camowith a grill on the fron so it could block some of the bullets[/color]

Insted of a gokart try an ATV.

And another...
I posted this in another thread but it probably belongs here. Ok howsabout some sort of jetpack, not the conventional sterotype mind you, but one that encases the whole upper body and would have a mounted machine gun and rocket launcher, but the jets would be placed above the shoulders at a 50 degree angle so as not to burn off your arms. This is probly one of the most lucrudis ideas I've had so far (is that how you spell lucrudis?)

Also thanks to The Little Fossie for additional insperation.

A GUN THAT SHOOTS OUT MILLIONS OF KNIVES PER SECOND LIKE A CHIAN GUN BUT THE KNIVES ARE BIG LIKE HUNTING KNIVES W/BLADES THAT WHEN THEY GO IN THE PERSON IT SPLITS IN TO 35 PICES THAT SPIN 299 MILES PER HOUR CUTTIN THROUGH YOUR INERDS FROM INSIDE TO OUT

no not a jet pack how he just jumps higher and he can make a super jump by crouching and when he builds up his super jump he can jump 50 feet in the air that would be awsome
