Pelicans are able to operate in space, so maybe a modified pelican could be submersible?

also something like a boat race...oh oh even better a ghost vs a human boat....that sounds fun...also like for fun in some maps their could be boat ramps you could hit for the heck of it(or they could be strategic and launch you deep onto the land) pelicans are not always the best idea dwfait, big and semi-clumsy compared to a nimble fast boat. especially if your only bringing along 2 buddies. plus nobody knows if pelicans are going to be implemented in MP, most likely not, too overpowered now with dual turreting....

Yeah but the main reason you might wanna play halo 2 is to blow up stuf,we're getting a little too carried away here with the whole boat stuff,although it's cool.hmmm,maybe they'll make a level specificly for it.

oh I know, what im saying is that I am holding out hope for boats BUT they might be developing something else(but with all these hints how could they). I dont want to be TOO domineering with my idea saying that boats WILL be in it and ignoring everyone that says maybe not..(in other words im taking it all in stride and just speculating the rest of the way..it helps pass the time)

After playing FarCry I am not so sure about boats. Unless the boat handles like a Ghost I don't see how that can be THAT fun. Besides I love the fact that Halo has been kept rather simple. If you add boats in the equation the MP could turn into chaos. They have added quite enough stuff already into Halo 2. Boats would just be one more thing to worry about. Its crazy!

I see what ya mean. say they added some cloaking thingy to the boat to make it invisible to radar and to the eye. i mean for gods sake this happens in the friggin 26th century. ya think we would have the technology. moving along, so say this was happining way out to sea, you cant send in a pelican that would be to obvious, so you sport a small boat say for a recon or stealth mission it would be quieter and small enough to carry a good sized team without alerting the covies. or if its multiplayer you can hit the other team before they know whats happening. And heck dont you ever wonder what it would be like to have boat on boat combat. especially if you have a gunner and four armed passengers and a driver. that would be sweet.

can this apc you speak of really hit 50kph underwater... I dont think so, maybe JUST MAYBE its possible if the thing has a monster of an engine (and I mean MONSTER not just a normal tank engine), the sheer mass of this thing would be extremely prohibitive for it to move around underwater, especially if its deep deep water....

It had wheels, not tank treads. Not all Amphibious Attack Vehicles have tracks. Secondly, it had an amazing design that allowed all of the power used to drive its wheels to propel the craft. I wish I knew if it used Water Jets or props.

I'm not talking about some weak WW2 vehicle, I'm talking state of the art.

a catamaran would be awesome as long as it had a chain gun or rockets and mines

I'd be happy with a four seated prop driven catamaran with a LAAG turret. The ultimate "Warthog"

It makes me wonder if the Wraiths can hover on water like the Ghosts.

not saying this APC thing has treads. sounds cool but if it was implemented it sounds overpowered. and yea a 4 seater catamaran with a LAAG gun or even two...hey its dual hulled why cant it be dual armed :p

Boats/water vehicles=pwnageness. In Halo you could drive out through water in a warthog to the end of the map, but that's not exactly the warthog's purpose. And you can't see anything. Any kind of thing that can float on water would be cool, even if it was a rubber ring with a duck head on it. o_o

I just thought about that...

In halo 1, you are supposed to leave halo in Echo 419, if you were a regular marine, wouldnt you sufficate in space? (no back on the pelican)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Personally, Boats would be cool in Single Player, and Maybe some multiplayer maps. like an island with rivers running through it and such. example: Zanzibar is a good map, but personally, i think its small for tanks and stuff, so i think there will be bigger maps with more airspace, water, and land for bigger vehicles.

I wouldn't really want a boat in H2. You would think we wouldn't really need any in the year 2552. If the UNSC had any ships at all on the waters, they would be sitting ducks to the covies arsenal of Battleships and cruisers. It seems like in the time frame h2 is in, boats would be useless. Hell, we got -blam!-in' UNSC cruisers, Battleships (the flying ones...) we don't need no -blam!-ing boat.
