I think in Halo: Reach Bungie should take out the Hornet and add something else that's easier to maneuver, has missles that don't lock on, and has the ability to do barrel rolls just like the banshee.

The reason Bungie should make it more like the Banshee is because the hornet can't do -blam!-. It's just a big target that can seat 3 people. I know there are some people that kick ass with the hornet, but let''s face it. Most people suck with the hornet.

The replacement vehicle of the hornet would be the same color of the hornet. It would be a lot flatter than the hornet but a a slighty wider than the Banshee. Imagine a mini version of the pelican: half the size and less bulky than the regular pelican. This is what it would look like.

Instead of shooting two missiles at the same time. It should shoot two separate missiles with less power. But after you shoot the first two, the reloading process would take longer than the Banshee's fuel rod cannon since you only have one shot with the Banshee.

The Hornet has very little maneuverability. With more maneuverability, it would be more of a match against the Banshee. It should be slightly slower than the Banshee (with the boost) but it should be have a boost that lasts maybe 2 or 3 seconds and takes 6 or 7 seconds to boost again.

So what do you guys think? I was thinking it would be called the hawk or something.

More or less.

No thanks. The hornet is a transport vehicle like no other, thats why it isn't so strong at combat.

No we don't need a Human banshee clone. The Hornet and Banshee are what we need. Remove the missile lock-on and the Hornet is fine.

Good point, but the hornet is also extremely overpower. If there are no spartan laser or equipment it is almost impossible to take out the hornet if they, so if they dont replace the hornet, then they should make it weaker.

When do you actually succeed in transporting people? One in every 5 rides?

I think we need something between the regular hornet and transport hornet.

Between the machine gun powers, and instead of 2 lock on missiles, 4 really small but fast moving missiles.

BTW A regular Hornet totally destroys a Banshee...

Vancouver BC, Canada.

it had bad maneuverability, but it delivered decent firepower. There is your balance. I think it should stay in the games.

get out of here stalker

Laser. Kills. All.

I would like the Hawk from Halo Wars as well. Flies like a banshee or better if possible.

I like the idea of having the hawk but I think that if they would put it in they should scrap the lasers tho.

It would be interesting if they had a new Mini Pelican. But can u realy c a hornet flip around like a banshee? I dont c it happening. But any new vehicle would be awsome.


If a bungie worker reads this and takes your advice i would love 2 c what they would come up with.

How about Bungie replace the Hornet with Hawk?

  • 07.19.2009 3:11 PM PDT

I think we could get this, another covenant air vehicle, and keep the hornet.

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

It works well on the rare occasions i get to use it. I honestly dont see an issue with it. On Avalanche it can defend itself and can transport people, but is not overpowered.

Here to end the borrowed time you've all been living on.

you basically described the hawk, form halo wars. It wouldn't be bad but i dont really think it should replace the hornet.

Alt fire on Hawks should be up/down. Maybe all the way out = up, depressed all the way = down, depressed slightly = hover.

They could always keep the hornet, but add a single-seat human vehicle similar to the Banshee. Then they could make an aerial transport vehicle for the Covenant similar to the Hornet.
