They should make something like a Pelican, only smaller scale. However, they should have a position or two for gunners to man [rail] guns. Basically, a flying warthog. Any other suggestions??

....well i like the Shadow or at least that's what i think it's called....

http://bungie.net/Games/Halo2/gallery.aspx?gallery=ConceptArt &page=1 (go to early concept sketch of covenant shadow)

It's this covie flying vehicle that seats 4 people, one pilot, two guys on the wings (one on each wing) and a plasma gunner in the back....it's pretty badass but i'm unsure as to whether or not it will be in the game. My fav vehicles are ones that are more like dropships like your idea. I like the idea of droppin people at the flag and waiting for them to get back in....personally tho i think your idea kicks ass, becos it brings the pelicans size down and makes a flying vehicle that has good weaponry and fits more than the pilot

I think the humans need some sort of banshee counter part like a hover jet or somthing. that would be tight

in the pre-xbox halo, a helicopter was concidered, but they thought it just wasnt futuristic enough

Make a vehicle like the Command & Conquer's Orca... (Plantside has one as well that is very simular to the Orca)

This is an Orca, just in case anyone was/is curious

The new Shadow for Halo 2 has a gunner seat, a driver, and a passenger like the Warthog. The OLD Shadow that was going to be in Halo 1 has the Gunner, Driver, and one on each wing. The new Shadow is going to be in Halo 2.

Anyway, the flying vehicle should be a counterpart to the Banshee. Either one or two people in the vehicle. I drew some kind of Human Vehicle that looks like a Manta Ray, but it sucked.

they said there would be a floating vehicle on the moon so that might answer some questions

I was completely unaware that the covenant had any kind of flying team vehicle. I sure as hell hope they stick it in multiplayer!

What he means by flying is "hovering"

no, the shadow isn't a flying vehicle... It was the origional counterpart to the warthog... But the new one seems to be called the creep...?

  • 04.22.2004 4:40 PM PDT

i know there was a helicopter in pre-xbox, but what i really meant was their to be an aircraft with helicopter capabilities like weapons and manuverability

No. The creep is the new Covenant Transport Bus.

Show me a picture of the creep then, everyone tells me the Covenant vehicle that appears right before the Warthog that MC gets on (E3 demo last year) was it. and from what I can tell it looks like vehicle that has the same concept of the shadow/warthog... (turret, drivers, ect.)

uh... that's the Phantom, not the shadow... The only references to the shadow were in the version before the first "Halo: Combat Evolved" came out...

No. That's the Phantom. God damn people.

Here's a list of what the Covenant Vehicles are:

Ghost: Small assault vehicle - one passenger
Shadow: Medium Assault vehicle - equivalent to Warthog - 3 passengers
Creep: Transport Bus - passengers unknown
Phantom: New Dropship - passengers unknown
Shade: Gun Turret - one passenger
Banshee: Flying assault vehicle - one passenger
Wraith: Mortar Tank - one passenger

I'd always said they should make a helicopter. Imagine this, flying over silent cartographer in a chopper gunning down Covies on the gun turret on the side, sounds sweet. Some may say that it's not futuristic enough for Halo 2, but really are warthogs futuristic?

i would have something like a plane from the clone wars but with a chain gun instead of a laser gun and a rocket launcher built on or a missile.
