Some people go by the theory that to balance the game, we need a covenant/human equivelent for weapons and vehicles. ( I'm not going to mention the soldiers. )

Well, I'm one of those people who think that it could be either way, and it's really up to Bungie to decide.

But for those people that want equivelents, here you go:

Human______Covenant

Scorpion______Wraith.

Warthog______( shadow? )

ATV_______Ghost

????______Banshee.

Jets would SUCK. Not to deprive you of your opinion.

Can you really imagine a jet in Halo?

I can't. It'd be stupid. Even if it does take off vertically.

agreed, that was funny, but i cant really see the ATV equaling the ghost..

I mean, unlimited ammo, --> no ammo, (two handed weapon) or limited ammo, that is weak, (1 handed weapon, saying that an SMG would really do much when driving past an opponent reallly really fast)

I cant see you being able to aim behind you well either, so it may be a one seated transport machine, i reaslly think it has too many differences to be a ghost equivalent

Faster, maybe (ghosts are slower than warthogs nammit)[or they used to be before the boost feature]

Yeah but the main applications of the ATV and Ghost are similar. They are both what is being considered to be light reconnaisance vehicles. They allow snipers to get ahead of the other players and get into a good vantage point position to try to hit the enemy as the come. Not to mention the fact that they are a smaller target. I'm not sure about the ATV but the ghost definately is a quiet vehicle in comparison to the warthog. I dont know about anyone else but I listen for vehicles when I play Halo MP. In sympatico with the motion tracker it works really well with indicating enemy positions. I often have a much harder time finding or hearing ghosts which isn't the case with warthogs.

Another point, I definately don't think the warthog is a faster vehicle than a ghost. Its quicker, more agile and is capable of significantly sharper turns than the warthog and also has much better brakes.

the way the atv might equal out wit the ghost is it can hold 2 people. look at the picture of the atv, it has a space in the bak where another person can sit. of course even if that person can fire he will only be able to fire a one handed weapon. so 2 smgs against the ghost? only good when the ghost is right on top of u. personally i dont think the atv equals the ghost. the atv is used for getting 2 people to a location fast. like a sniper and someone to defend him- get the to a position up on a ridge real fast. i think there will be another covie vechicle not revealed yet that will be equal to the atv.

Actually, there is no one specific application for either vehicle. I said before one of the more primary ones was to quickly get ahead of the oppostion and get a vantage point, but in truth, any player can do what they want.

As far as weapons go the ghost is better but the ATV will be the fastest vehicle in the game, at least thats what Bungie said a while ago. But we will find out.
