Subject: If You Could Create a Vehicle...

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

If you could create a vehicle, one suitable for Halo, and the time in which it takes place, what would it be?

Rules of the thread:
-Vehicles must be either Covenant or Human.... or, I suppose, you can be real creative and make a suitable "Flood Vehicle" (something organic and ugly, I suppose).
-The don't necessarily have to have mounted weapons.
-Don't be stupid and make super-powerful invincible vehicles. Be reasonable. All vehicles will have their strenghts and weeknesses (IE: Don't make a tank that's Scorpion-like cannon has the rate of fire close to that of a LAAG, and can move as fast as a Banshee).
-Don't say the Tiger Tank (half tank, half tiger)... that was already thought up of by our friends at OXM (who were dissappointed to hear that it was not appearing in Halo 2).
-Be creative, but again, be reasonable.

My vehicle would be a Covenant Tank. Unlike the Wraith this.... [name will be edited in here, once I find one suitable].... is not a mortar tank. It fires a very powerful (but less powerful than the Wraith's plasma mortar) plasma charge that has a small blast radius. But the blast will be concentrated enough so that although the radius is small, anything caught in it recieves just-under-equal damage that a direct hit would deal. The plasma would be green, mind you... and much faster moving than a fuel-rod cannon, and more powerful. The tank is also slow (but faster than the Wraith), and it hovers. It has a just-over 180 degrees firing range (to make that possible, the cannon actually hovers in a grav field, therefore not directly attached to the tank itself (think of how the plasma cannon on the dropships are not attached... same idea)), making it able to shoot at anything that gets close to it, as well as anything even directly above it. Its also going to be dark blue in color, and will have a zoom feature for long-range shots.

This tank has its drawbacks:
-Like I said, its slow.
-Slower RoF than the Human Scorpion tank.
-No secondary weapon.
-Not as damaging as a mortor or Scorpion shell.
-Has weak-spots akin to the unamored backside of a Wraith.

This gives new meaning to "Tank-Sniping."

NOTE: This post is likely to be edited by myself.

No replies? C'mon, people, up with creativity!

My vehicle would be a human banshee. It would be a mix of a helicopter and a harier. Its main weapon would be a gatling gun like the laag but slightly faster firing. The secondary fire would be a missile about as fast moving as the fuel rod on the banshee but it would fire straight instead of an arch. The reload time would be twice as slow as the banshee's but you would have to fire two missiles before reloading. The drawbacks would be that its armor would be relatively weak. A sniper round through the windshield would be an instant kill. There could be up to two passengers on the sides but they could not fire and would be fully exposed. Also the missiles could be shot down with two shots from a pistol. You could also disable the gatling gun with a couple shots to the right spot.

My vehicle would be closely related to the A.T.V. except it would have small little laag guns that would pop out of the sides when needed. It would be a little faster than the ghost but not as durable.It would be pretty easy to blow up if you could catch it.in the front it would have a kinda like a grappling hook for whatever needed. the drawbacks of this atv would be that it would be easy to blow up,easly heard and thats it. i would call it the Atav.

WARThog type thing but it holds 12 people (not including driver) and instead of turret on the back a wepons holder with 1 sniper,12 battle rifle's, 24 smg's (two for all twelve people), 3 shot gun's, 1 dozen knifes, and 48 grenades


weakness-- 1. "and 48 grenades" big boom if you get hit by rocket
2.no cover so eazy targets for snipers
3.slower than warthog(normal worthog)

Im thinking getting to modify a longsword fighter to have plasma turrets and LAAG turrets on it which can cross any level in 3-8 seconds!

My Covenant vehicle would be called the Spectre.
It is a small, one man vehicle but is capable of cloaking. (becomeing invisible but moreso than active camoflauge)
advantages: fast, invisable capabilities, almost completely silent
disadvantages: no weapon (though can road kill people), VERY weak. afew well placed shots will take it down, driver unprotected.

My Human vehicle would be called the Spider.
It is very small, remote contolled in fact so no-one can drive/ride in it. when using you see through the spiders view. it only has 2 attacks. 1 is a self detonation, like a frag grenade but the other more useful one is that it can take the target flag of the pole and carry it inside!
Advantages: small, hardly noticable, sneaky can capture the flag doesn't show on motion tracker.
Disadvantages: weak, not very defensive, slow you can't see yourself while using it so very open to attacks. you wouldn't know you we're dead till you couldn't control the spider and your death animation kicks in.

Cronin's Law----The New Flood Drinking Game

hey shai! ... havent seen you in awhile...

anywho... an APC, just because its an essential part of any armed force, and it wasnt in the first halo. relatively light armour, but faster than tank (slower than everything else) with a minigun or something like that, and to make animations easier and to boost realism, the passengers would ride on the top and sides rather than inside. not very creativei realize, but seems the most viable... and a high-speed minigun on top of a vehicle that looks like a future version of the bradley, which is faster than the tank, i think would be alot more effective than the tank.

Nuke Boy's right on target. I don't know abou the particulars, but I've always thought there should have been a human equivalent to the Banshee. Using conventional human weapons. Or maybe just "a giant laaaser". :)

Good to see you, too, Texas Ben...

Anyway, my next concept is a Covenant mini-sub. Very fast, relatively weak, a bit smaller than a Longsword, blue, can't strafe from side to side, and has two weapons. One is a small plasma charge (a little bit more damaging than a plasma rifle blast), which has two mounts, one on each "fin" of the vehicle. How the hell can you fire plasma in water, you say? Well I think that all Covenant "plasma" shots are encased in relatively weak electromagnetic fields to contain them (think personal energy shield-type thingies). These plasma charges, however, are encased in strong fields, to allow them to exist under water without dissapating immediately. They are weak enough to break open (releasing the plasma charge) whenever they hit something solid, so you can hit enemy subs (or divers, for that matter). This gun would have a rate of fire slightly slower than that of the Battle Riffle that we saw in last year's E3 demo.

The second weapon is an semi-kamikaze attack. You hit the "boost" button (it will be capable of boosting), and get it on a collision course with whatever you want dead. Then, so you yourself don't die, you hit the eject button, which sends you (inside of the cockpit) "flying" towards the surface of the water. The rest of the ship, however, will continue on to collide with your target, and once it hits, a massive explosion (the size of a Scorpion main shell's explosion), which will pretty much kill whatever it hits.

This is merely a somewhat creative thought, since I'm aware that Bungie has not said anything about underwater battles, and probably won't include them in Halo 2 (if they don't, I won't be disappointed).

Okay I didn't bother to read everyones idea so maybe I'm posting someone elses already. But my brother and I have always wanted a human boat. Some sort of hog variation that can go in water. We wanted this for a water/island muti map. We that that would just rock rock on. Red base on one island and blue on another with little islands spread about, yeah that'd be fun I think. Waterworks looks better than my idea though. Bungie rules.

I'd like to see an extended version of the Warthog that is a Half-track (tank treads instead of rear tires). Instead of the single laag that can swivel 360 degrees, I'd put one on each side that could only swivel 180 degrees. You could engage multiple targets and have 2x the firepower directly forward and behind.

I would make a flying warhog. A pig with wings, and pigs would fly! And then I would have all those silly people have to do those things for me that they said they would only do when pigs flew! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
