What if, in levels that included water, there were boats that could be driven around to transport and fight from one side of a body of water to another. Cool, or not?

There could be different kinds of boats, ranging from speedboats mounted with chainguns, to mini-battleships for a bombardment vessel.

does the word BANSHEE mean anything here? why boat when you can fly? there probably wont be a navy in 500 years because it would be pointless when you can fly light speed.

The Navy has turned into a spaceships only thing. Notice how they use all the Naval-lingo when talking about spaceships. They've got carriers, battleships,destryers,cruisers, hell the only thing they DONT have in space are submarines!

OMG why whould they not have navy? Their perfect for steath missions so the radar cant detect the ships i think like one leavle with lots of islands and the team that captures all of the islands wins so their whould be massive air to sea battles and a carrier is a great idea that whould be sweet.

Even if they would not have a Navy, it would still be a lot of fun to use boats.

They could be hover craft boats or relly advanced ones. Also, about the warthog being able to swim, I think that is unrealistic because cars can't run under water.

who really care how realistic the game is . as long as it is fun i'm going to play it. I mean would u rather the warthog break down once a little of it goes underwater and u cant use it again. I woludn't and i don't know who would. I love things to look real but Idon't care if things act realistic.

Maybe have some sort of mission where you have to transport some marines (or some bigshot military dude) to a little island. I don't think it should be used other than that. Not in multiplayer and probably only in one mission. Otherwise it turns into that weird game where you're in a boat and you just float around blowing stuff up.

One thing i DONT want is an escort mission. The one in T&R was fine but if they have like a guard the transport truck for an hour, i will be pissed. Mostly because the people you have to escort often act stupid no matter how good the AI

lol! I agree. Boats should not be in Halo 2 because this is not Bloodwake, its Halo. And anyway, boat battles suck.

Once again: *AHEM* ALL water-based vehicles have been REPLACED by aircraft and Spaceships. Aircraft and Spaceships are SUERIOR to BOATS in every way. And stealth is what ONI Prowler and Corvette ships are used for.

They do have Navy. That's what Master Chief is in, the Navy. Marines, if you didn't know, are a Navy division, and all the ships, including the Pillar of Autumn are Navy ships. Whether they have water based ships is unknown, but they never mention them in the books and I imagine they don't exist. In my opinion they shouldn't have water based ships, in Halo 2 it looks like they have awesome aircraft, spacecraft, and land vehicles; there is no point for boats.

Many people are here saying, "OH, NO BOATS, THOSE BATTLES SUCK!" However, do you honestly think that anything Bungie produces would SUCK?! No way! Bungie can turn boats into a new and exciting edition in Halo 2.

what do you mean boats are useless because space and air are superior in every waY? space and air are better than ground, but last time i checked, the ground wasn't useless.
(PS, i just checked again and it is still not useless. please tell me when it becomes 100% useless.)

Nonesense. Space/air can't render ground/water useless. It is foolish to rely on one single strategy.
