Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Only if I could shoot the little fishies like I could in Far Cry.

No. Boats you run in Battlefield: Vietnam. ;)

Driven to distraction. ^_^

Yeah, I like the idea of boats (You could call them sea-hogs!). It opens up a whole range of possibilities for new battles, level design and tactics (I can just imagine a multi-player level with a wide river running through the middle with defended bridges and boats).
I've seen the 'evolution of Halo' video and there were boats in the early builds of the game but they were dropped.

The problem is, I really can't see them being put in Halo 2, purely from a development perspective. It would take some time to perfect the water physics and design the boat and for all the effort you would only get a vehicle with a limited use. Also you would need to design the levels so that you could still access every area even if you lose the boat.

Still, I could be wrong and they could surprise us. If not, I'd love to see the idea developed for Halo 3 :)

Oh yeah, and theres the whole 'Ghosts floating above the water' thing

Why would you need boats when you can fly? There's not really much point. If you have pelican's and banshee's that never run out of fuel, there is just no point. And with the possibility of a human aircraft, you might aswell just literally nuke the whales.

But a hovercraft at the most would settle good.

That would be pretty hot. Like say if the Master Chief, some marines and the remaining Spartans had to infiltrate a Covie base on an island, they could use boats for stealth. The pelicans might give away their position and since they are destroyable in Halo 2 well.....u get the picture
