So, in Halo 2 in one of the levels (can´t remeber the name, but it´s on a highway) there are some vehicle/infantry transport vehicles called Shadows, some vehicles carrying a few ghosts and some turrets managed by Grunts. New Mombasa has a lot of tunnels and big highways, so the Shadow might be a nice Brute vehicle scouting the tunnels. The Shadows will go in places that Phantoms can´t.
Thoughts?

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

I'm a big fan of cameos, so even if there is but a brief glimpse of it, that would be cool. I think it would fit in really well with the way that ODST works, too, as it is a kind of troop transport that the Covenant could use to get around the city.

N.B It's called a Shadow

I dont really care about it. I just find any vehicle that would work.

Death to rank junkies.

It would be awesome for Shadows to be wandering around the city, and if it notices you, it would deploy its troops.

No Spectres are a completely different thing from Shadows. Shadows are those huge things that look like oblong Wraiths carrying a Ghost in the middle with plasma turrets on either side. You see them near the end of the Outskirts level where you do a Warthog run through the highway tunnel.

Yea Shadows were cool. I remember I kept trying to pilot one but you couldn't. You could only get in the awesome turret. :P

No, Shadows are those big things that you fight in the tunnels on Outskirts. They carry troops around. Anyways... no. Firefight is kinda small for that, they are hard to take down.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

I would love to see them.

There is coding on Halo 2's disc for the version we see, a troop transport version, and the animations and coding to allow the player to drive both. Sadly, we only see one version for a small period of time and we can't drive them.

Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I loved the way that shadows shot, they shot so fast.....but yes i would like to see one.
And no to the first post spectres are like warthogs just covies like. =)

that would be pretty cool. It would be awesome when you shoot out the driver then you could drive. Doesn't work in Halo 2...

For some reason I preferred the way it shot green-blue plasma in the Halo 2 E3. It just somehow looked cooler like that. I guess if they put it in to ODST it would fire purple shots like the new Shade. I'm down with that.

It would be cool if they patrolled Mombasa Streets along with Phantoms, and deployed a squad of Brutes if they found you. Ever since they weren't in Halo 3, I've waited for the return of the Shadow.

Yes, you can still use the turret.

  • 06.16.2009 4:15 PM PDT

It would be awesome! But who would drive remember no elites. Seeing brutes drive, they would probably be crammed in there, Jackals dont drive, and grunts cant drive something bigger than a ghost

  • 06.16.2009 4:20 PM PDT

it would be cool but those were used by the elites and seeing how the elites wont be in this game its unlikeley tho it would be cool

Yeah, I see your point but the Wraith cockpit seems very small to me and brutes can enter. Maybe some other brutes will push the driver inside. :P
