make a tank that is better balanced and tough enough to take one hell of a beating

hmmmm...
you guys all think the tank was underpowered? weird.

i thought it was pretty easy to gedt like 7 or so kills every time i got in the tank, as long as no one was sniping me, but then again i always got in when i knew no one was sniping.

they said the tank can be boarded from either side or the turret. i really want to see what its like to board from the turret.

my guesses-- its going to have a lot of life, but still be the easiest to snipe someone out of. i thought it was pretty balanced. but if there are a slew of new surprises--then one to drive and one to gun. and possible alt. versions of it, like a missile pod swarm launching attack vehicle that makes a lot of explosions. that would be cool, but i doubt it. if you are unkillable in the tank, then whats the point...?

I reckon the tank is fine the way it is. So what if you can get hit everywhere on the tank. and if you were to put a cover over the diver of the tank, how in the world would you kill spawn rapers? huh? Leave it the way it is. Maybe have a copilot, and i think they've already stated that you can drive in one direction and shoot in another. Other than that, it's balanced as much as it needs.

maybe they'll make cannon cool down time shorter so you don't have to fire your useless, innaccurate machine gun while the cannon cools down. Maybe it'll be faster.

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.


i hate that! i hope Bungie fixed that so u could still drive forward and shoot off to the left or right or behind u.

hey i have an idea!

lets make the tank so good that in multiplayer a person can just get in the tank without fear of dying AND can get up to the 50 kill limit for his team in about 5 minutes

for the reasons of people just staying in the tank the whole game (which requires no skill) i always have all vehicles off, except sometimes the warthog

they should make it have some floating feature, and make some levels on the water w/ jetski type thingies

and the wraith should go faster

its really slow driving

they said you are going to be able to board tanks. And not just from the front and back, they said there would be side hijacks too. But that doesn't really do anything for the tank i guess

they might re-vert to the original idea for the tank (in in the halo xbox bit - pre-xbox gallery section) it looks like a present day tank, and id guess it can carry more than one person, ie: gunner and observer + driver (duh) inside the turret and those crazy fools on the sides. i guess the weapons would be the same, but id imagine that its alot 'safer' to be in, but hopefully not to safe - tanks can be a pain after you've been killed 4 times in a row by the same guy. hopefully the gods at bungie will make it a support tank so it cant assualt on its own - it needs support otherwise it sucks, like make it slow or have a slow turret transverse, this way people have to set up and prepare to attack, get the hogs ready and such, then BLAM - base attack team style, with tank support (at distance) while the rest get in and get that flag/kill lots

i think it should definitly be faster, like slighlty below the warthog. i mean the russians have tanks that go faster than the scorpion, and though the scorp is -blam!- huge, it should go faster
