Thel 'Vadam' says hi

grissly, cobra, vulture and Hawk would be too over powered as shooter game. But I would love to drive wolverine and cyclop

  • 07.01.2009 3:11 PM PDT

Well idk may be in ceratin levels of single player

  • 07.01.2009 3:15 PM PDT

All of them except the grizzly, just don't think there's any point having a more powerful version of a scorpion. Even if its in the campaign i doubt they'll had it in multiplayer due to balance issues.

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

i would love to see that one that drops carpet bombs, the longsword? thats the best, take out hornet, put in longsword, the longsword is a fast and agile as the banshee im guessing, the hornet is too difficult to maneuver, it seems like in stead of upgrading helicopters, the UNSC downgraded them

  • 07.01.2009 3:19 PM PDT

ya i just thought in a special campign moment like against a scarab or something

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

The only one that fit's in the games (as we know them) would be the Wolverine. Everything else is a little too highscale for an FPS IMO. Though flying a Hawk would be interesting. I love the faster vehicles, and I would love a faster Hornet.

  • 07.01.2009 3:37 PM PDT

Ya I guess the hawks pretty cool but the splazer from its nose would be op

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

oh thanks FTW Syntax, i knew i had it wrong, so yeah the shortsword would be good or the hawk, but the hornet isnt good enough. IMO, its underpowered

  • 07.01.2009 3:41 PM PDT

ya the shortsword is a bomber ya a jet attack mission would be cool oh like in the book fall of reach were the company of marines gets carpet bombed by thier own command that would be cool

im the go to guy for halo stuff

I can't quite recall, but isn't the Shortsword only ever used in Wars? I don't recal mention of it in any of the novels. In the games the only aircraft other than Hornets are Longsword (interceptor units, equiv to Covenant Seraphs) and Pelicans (dropship, troop transport, equiv to Covenant Spirits/Phantoms).

  • 07.01.2009 3:49 PM PDT

ya the short sword was ensombles idea

  • 07.01.2009 3:55 PM PDT

I can honestly imagine the locust being in reach. Its weapon would probabaly overheat like some covenant weapons.
BTW its not on your list.

Had a feeling. Personally when it's all said and done I think that things from Wars should be segregated from the main Halo FPS games. They are some cool units though.

How is there a Vulture and Vampire but no Phantom or Pelican?

I tried to pick units that are only in halo wars and units that you could physically use in the poll (so no shortsword because its a support power)

Yea, i'm pretty sure that's how it went as well. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be an easy write-in though.

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

if not the shortsword, then the hawk,and if not the hawk, then make the hornet faster, thats what i love

  • 07.01.2009 4:04 PM PDT

well the hornet is more of a transport because you can have people on the sides (four odsts in the book) while the hawk is more of a gunship

its like AH-64 to a AH-6 in the US army

  • 07.01.2009 4:09 PM PDT

Oel ngati kameie, oe omum nga, oe ’efu nga.

which leads me to a new point, halo 3 doesn't really have a gunship, like the banshee, and thus they need one, keep transport hornet from sandbox, and add in shortsword, or hawk

  • 07.01.2009 4:12 PM PDT

IT shoulf be a Hawk remeber the shortsword is a bomber

  • 07.01.2009 4:15 PM PDT

here is a link that should explain

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Shortsword-class_Bomber
