Bungie should include this vehicles so it would fit in the Halo 2 canon at least.

At least Bungie could show us a transition of vehicle use in the campaign like for the first 5 levels Brutes are using Specters and next level prowler appears. If the Shadow does appear, I would like to see a covenant transport ambush level, that would be wicked.

Personally these were some of my more favorite vehicles. Just because the spectre was fun to drive with the boost and the shadow was just cool to look at. Hopefully they will come back.

Death to rank junkies.

The Spectre was much better than the crappy Prowler they gave us in Halo 3. The Spectre could boost, strafe, and had a faster firing, more accurate gun. If it was hit with a rocket, it would be completly destroyed and not allow the enemy to use it.

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

It would be crazy in Firefight to use this, a total change in strategy, would be needed

I always liked the Spectre, but I don't think it would work here.

While you say that it fits into the Halo 2 canon, that's not entirely true. It does take place during Halo 2 but after Master Chief's visits to Mombassa. Halo 3: ODST takes place after the Covenant shift in power, as seen by how you fight Brutes and not Elites.

So you can expect the newer Brute vehicles, but I think that made-for-elite vehicles like the Spectre are out.

As for the Shadow, stay tuned. If grunts used it I don't see why Brutes couldn't.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

It would be really awesome if the Shadow was used on some Firefight levels to drop off Covenant soldiers. Also, I'd love to see the return of the Spectre, in comparison to the Prowler, the Spectre was really fun to drive, and had a really cool Covenant look.

Specter would be cool in FireFight like the Covenant drop a few off them you kill Brutes inside of them then take it. Instead of the Warthog because one person is going to be left behind :p

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Doubt it since this is just an expansion, they're not adding much to the game. I would love to see Spectres, Shadows, Phantoms, Spirits, Rocket Hogs, Transport Hogs, Gauss Hogs, etc. all in Reach.

Sorry, but i seriously doubt it. Halo 3: ODST is on halo 3's engine, and that didn't have spectres and shadows.
Engine has nothing to do with what weapons/vehicles/etc. can be added to the game. They could have made all they wanted, it just would have taken more work than necessary for an expansion.

That statement really doesn't make sense considering there are two new weapons in this game =/

I doubt it, they're keeping things like halo 3, but those vehicles really were cool

  • 06.22.2009 6:33 PM PDT

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.
