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."
covie car with fuelrod gun,mechine guns and a plasma granade heavly armored.setbacks:runs out of ammo and is slow also able to be blown up
