Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

I was hoping that there would be some vehicular combat in Firefight mode. Although it was not formally announced, a recent Bungie.net newspage featuring everyone's favorite UNSC Sergent, Sgt. Johnson, displayed screenshots with Johnson in the gunner seat of a warthog. I know that those screenshots were more of an implication and not an announcement, but I am really excited for open vehicle-style Firefight mode maps! What do you all, the Halo community, think about this? Excited? Dissapointed? or will I be dubbed as a "stoopid n00b" for making such assumptions?

I would rather not see high intensity Vehicle-on-Vehicle combat in Firefight and Campaign, but rather high intensity Vehicle-on-Infantry combat.

Not at all, it's a perfectly normal conclusion to draw. Vehicle combat on FF should be quite awesome, not to mention four Sgt. Johnsons running around with needlers.

And on the topic of big open maps, could a Blood Gultch-like map be a possibility?

Vehicle-on-Infantry? HAWT.

Your wasting you're time you could be doing something else besides reading my signature...

I just got a bad idea from your post, ODST's get a warthog, suddenly brutes call for reinforcements only to receive a scarab... but what if by open vehicle combat scarab vs warthog..... that would be f'd up.

(Unless you could jack the scarab?)

I see you

I hate Rupert Murdoch. This may permeate into my posts occasionally

Probably unlikely I'm afraid, dunno how it'd work with the concept of FF

Oh definitely, I find fighting off Jackle snipers, Grunts with 'nades and turrets, and Brute Captains with bruteshots while in a warthog to be much more exciting and balanced than skirmishing off with a bunch of choppers and ghosts.
