Hey guys, check out this render of a pre-halo Covenant equivalent of the Warthog.

http://www.bungie.net/SlideShow.aspx?Path=/games/Halo&Sli deshow=PreXbox&Slide=52

Bungie's Description:
"One example of lost equipment, the Shadow, was kind of a giant hovering Covenant version of the Warthog. With its turret-mounted plasma cannon, it could carry three Covenant troops (primarily Elites) and deliver withering fire from the cannon, as well as the Elite's plasma rifles. Imagine swiping one and filling that bad boy with Marines?"

Personally, I'd like to see these in Halo 2....

Yup... I think it would be cool if they put it in Halo 2. Doesn't look like that bad of a vehicle....

That link doesn't work. For some reason when you direct the links directly to the pictures, they don't work.

"...What kills it for me are the stunning graphics, two-weapon fighting, vehicles, and more of the goodness that has helped the original Halo to have strong sales ever since it came out. Everyone just needs to shut the hell up about there being a Halo 2-killer because there isn't one."
--Ed from ps2.ign.com
thats the truth Flood
.........and about the shadow do u agree

Yeah it kinda resembles that.... From what I remember the tank is more solid, though, and you can't see the driver.

I'm not sure about this but I heard that the bus in the Halo 2 E3 was called a Creep......
I would love to have that Shadow though.

Yeah, the shadow is kicka$$! and when your parked, face on to a sniper, the sniper can't head shot you... unlike the worthog.

Well the 'bus' is called the Covenant Creep so you'll have to get used to it. Creep is a kind of ghost so it makes sense, though poltergiest or spectre would have been better names.
The Shadow does look amazing, personally I prefer it purple like the others. It looks cool and I really hope it makes it to Halo 2. In my oppinion I think that it is a certainty that it will.

SB-117

Have I missed something? The Shadow is confirmed as a Halo 2 vehicle. Go read the FAQ and look at Halo 2 concept art area to see an early sketch of it!

Wow...I cant believe noone has said this yet...

I have read that, but I've also read the part in the FAQ that states everything may change so I didn't set my heart on it. after all I don't think Bungie want to clutter up the game with too many vehicles. But I think your right about the Shadow, its too cool to miss out
