Does somebody know if there will be any halo wars units like locusts,vampires,vultures.hawks,grizzlies,...?

Made an account in 2006. Visited Bungie.net in 2005. Joined Xbox Live in 2005. It's amazing to see how the site, Bungie, and Halo have evolved over the years. Utterly amazing.

most likely none of them

edit: that you listed

Probably not, because the units in Halo Wars was abit... Inappropriate. Didn't really feel like Halo.

They never allowed us to fly a Pelican so it's no chance at all to fly a Vulture.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Probably not in ODST, since it's an expansion. But you've got better chances for Halo: Reach.

--PC Games--
Halo: Combat Evolved
--Xbox 360 Games--
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo Wars

Some of them were okay in my opinion (locusts, vampires) but not grizzlies or cyclops.

  • 06.24.2009 10:53 AM PDT

The thing is, it would probably not be very fun to pilot most of them. All of the main units and scouts are straight from the original trilogy except for the Hawk and the Grizzly, which are just powered up Hornets and Scorpions and therefore redundant in an FPS. However, most of the other units are either hard counters or support units with the exception of uber units; which are simply too big to pilot.

Imagine piloting a Vampire instead of a Hornet on the Covenant. It would be too easy. However, taking any vehicle classified as a hard counter and trying to take down infantry? Not going to happen. You'll just get jacked. as for driving support units, I have one word for you: Elephant. Support units are simply boring to pilot, as evidenced by the Elephant.

The only Halo Wars unit I would like to pilot is the Cyclops; but just for laughs (also called lolz)

I don't count any of those HW new units as canon. They just seem so tacky and bolted on.

Because Halo Wars was designed after those games.

though you might not feel they are cannon, Bungie has said they count them and halo war's story as cannon

It would be pretty cool to fly around the city at night as the rookie on a hornet.

  • 06.24.2009 11:56 AM PDT

It is not the sword. It is the man.

Well considering it's meant to be the most stealth focused Halo ever, and none of these vehicles co existed with this timeline, I'm gonna say no....

  • 06.24.2009 12:36 PM PDT

Locust would be awesome as they are used as Mining vehicles (Along with Scarabs). They could have been used to dig up the portal to the Ark.
