Subject: The untalked about, The Tank

We have all heard about the changes and improvements to the warthog, ghost, and banshee, but what about my favorite ride, the tank. What changes are going to be made to improve the already sweet machine?

What is there to change? Maybe a different secondary fire. Maybe a different primary fire. Who knows I think its just great the way it is. I also hate that you can't back up the tank without turning it around.

Well you can aim one way and shoot the other thus not exposing yourself as much as in Halo 1

Well they may remove the cage and put the standard armor plating on(which is on in campaign mode, not MP). Also the tank can take more damage then before, because it, like all other vehicles, is fully destructable.

No I mean if you have the turret pointed one way you can't just reverse. The tank always turns around. The way the turret is facing.

More damage? How, it was invulnerable in H1 ;)

I just hope that you actually have to hit a person to do damage to them (In H1, you could do damage to the driver no matter where on the tank it hit, [although it was significantly less damage than a direct hit would be][my favorite was hitting a tank with an overcharged plasma pistol, everyone riding it would have depleated shields, and then let the snipers finish them off])

As a sniper i always loved when the enemy would pile in the tanks it was a slow moving death trap for everyone on board ;-)

1] Well I always thought that the Tank wasn't as powerful as a tank should be
2] To easy to be killed plasma, rocket, sniper fire geeze
3] Four people could ride but it was suicide
Well my friends Choad Master has the answer to fix this garbage!!!

1] Tank shells should be heat tracking, ala warthog & launcher
2] Driver should not be able to be hit from outside fire, hello its the future, tanks now already do this as I wish they did in halo 1
3] On the four panels were the crew would usually set place domed turrets on each of the four sides, this would encourage players to board the tank & make it the threat that it needs to be, ohhhhhhh yessssss I am a GENIUS, really though bungie if your reading, WINK, WINK!!! =P

yeah i thought it was really stupid in halo 1 when you could get plasma freezed when you are in the tank and all they are doing is shooting the tank, not the person.

I'd like a tank to be more like an actual tank. With a driver, and one manning the turret, and another manning the machine gun, but for gameplay reasons, I dont think driving and turret operation should be separate. They should have several machine gun positions, like the M1A2 Abrams tank. It has 2 gunner positions, and another machine gun next to the main cannon, that was operated from inside the tank.

I dont think that means the actual tank. They probably took the word s h i t-load, and Haloized it.

But you never know, this is Bungie we're dealing with.

I dunno if any of you guys have played Battle Tanx on the old N64, but there was a tank in it, which was called a Rhino, it had a massive metal shield on the front of it, making it good fora Phlamx formation. The problem with it was the back was terribly exposed, I think an uber-awesome tank would be the Rhino.

Features:

Holds 4 people.
-Driver
-Main Cannon Gunner
-Machine Gunner (on the front)
-Passenger (Half of their body sticks out of a hatch in the back of the tank where they could fire their own weapon at attackers coming from behind

The tank could be used for rushing, using it to give cover to advancing infantry via. Its massive shield. Also, its cannon would packa helluva punch. Your thoughts?

everyone is making there fantasy tank so i think i will throwmine into the ring
1.the driver would be the same except not take damage from samll arms fire the only thing he would be effected by would be the sniper rifle and explotions.
2.The front two people would have machine guns and a see through shield to protect them from small arms fire and the sniper rifle
3.the back two people would use their weapons but could be given the option to duck behind a shield if they wanted to
4.also if you hav a person in the back they can press a button and speed reload for the main gun much faster (they can not shot or even see when they do this)
5.of course all of these features can be blown off by a well placed rocket since the tank is fully distructible
