I DONT CARE WHAT THE ATV"s DO.... THEY LOOK LIKE FUN, AND DON'T THE HANDLE BARS ON THE BACK LOOK LIKE THEY CAN CARRY A PASSENGER...

TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION...THE ATV'S WERE BEING USED BY MARINE SNIPERS.(IN AN INTERVEIW WITH EGM IN 2002)

It does indeed.

ATVs will be faster than warthogs, and will be used to get aroun faster. For example, snipers will use them. You can also fire a handgun while driving them.

part of the reason fo the ATV is so the rally mode can be better used. Also, i would like to think Halo 2 levels will be bigger so you would need a faster mode of transportation (like pelicans *WINK*)

Pelicans are a crap idea, it wouldnt work it's to unbalanced and people will just be flyboys all the time. I am interested though how you could fire a handheld on the ATV. Maybe the left joystick will be used to turn which way to fire and the D-Pad to go forward and back (strafe in ghost). Same for tank turret too i hope.

ATVs. . point A to point B really fast.

I don't think you should be able to run Spartans over in an ATV though. If you hit a half-ton armored bulk of MC in an ATV, then you'd destroy your vehicle and send yourself flying.
I suppose you'd kill him in the process, but would be a high price to pay in a realistic sense.

[edit:] Pelicans would be great, especially in something like CTF where you could drop off a payload of guys behind the enemy base while a few others draw their attention up front. Anyway, I don't think balance would be a problem because a Pelican would draw a ridiculous amount of fire from the ground. After all, it's just so big and not horribly fast. Just like banshees in Halo PC, they give you an advantage over the ground, but they're not unstoppable.

Im the AotCR multiplayer mod for Halo PC, you can fly Pelicans. They don't have guns and the back end stays open, so a good shooter on the ground can fire a couple rockets into the cargo bay or just pick them off with a pistol or sniper rifle. The guys in the back can fire back, but it doesn't do them much good. Banshees are really good for taking them out, though. Only the pilot is hard to kill, as it requires you to shoot directly into the cockpit to do any significant damage to him. But one guy isn't really much of a threat, and nailing him really isn't that hard, so Pelicans would be pretty easy to balance.

Frankly, I don't care what they put in HALO 2, just as long as thay have a covenant counterpart vehicle for every human one.
Scorpion = Wraith
ATV = Ghost
Pelican = Dropship
etc...
And they definiley need a covie version of the warthog.

They're goind to have that. I think its called a shadow, maybe? They have some concept art of it in the Halo 2 section, and there's also a working model of it in the old Halo trailer, the one before they were bought by Microsoft.

You would also destroy a warthog- (I think they are closer to a ton- SPARTANs) just as easily. Realism is prevalent to a degree. Taking a direct hit from a tank would disentegrate a warthog, but they just flip around humorously. Realism is good to a certain degree.

I will still run you over in my ATV.

The real reason there is ATVs is for the Halo2 level Burial Grounds which if u read the top story on 6/16 explains. You can also view a map which shows u that there r several jump spots and a early concept map which shows the ATVs in use theres even one marine doing a superman on one

I don't know about y'all, but most current quad models out there have a definite cargo capacity. I have a quad and the manufacturer recommends a max of 250lbs.

And a Spartan weighs how much? I can't see a quad getting much air with a 2000 pounder sitting on it.

Just my thoughts.
