I, for one, miss the Spectre and don't really care about the Prowler. I think that the Spectre makes a better match to the rest of the Covie vehicles (yes I know that the Prowler replaces them for the loyalists), especially the Seperatists. With Halo 3 ODST coming, I thought that this would be the better place to re-introduce the Spectre to give it a sort of Halo 2 feel. What do you guys think?

spectre is the only covie vehicle that did suck dick
all the rest, suck alot, and i mean ALOT of hige hairy dick


What are you, five?

Spectre, is probably the best Halo 2 vehicle around. It holds 4 people, so it was great for CTF, it was easy to manoeuvre and protected the driver from sniper fire. It was also great for climbing steep ledges.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

I'd like to see it back, on three conditions.

1) The driver's protective carapace actually protects him, and is a solid shieled like the Banshee's carapace.

2) Normal travelling speed is equal to the Warthog. Boosting speed should be slightly slower than the Ghosts's boosting speed, though its multiple, moving gravity pods would make this up in stability.

3) The plasma cannon is the same as the H2 one, not the useless piece of metal that the Prowler has to use*. This was the only thing that gave it an advantage over the standard Warthog.

*In Halo 2, the plasma cannon on the Spectre was near hitscan, and on-par with the Warthog's LAAG, and didn't have very slow projectiles like the current plasma cannon in Halo 3.


tl;dr, make it faster and tougher, or don't bother.

"I don't have time Phfor this"
I pledge to punch all switches, to admit the existence of no level but total carnage, AND TO NEVER LEAVE A SINGLE BOB ALIVE!

The spectre was AWESOME, I for one hope they bring it back with a vengance!

no, but I want a puma

Death to rank junkies.

The Spectre should be in, because during Halo 2, the Brutes used it instead of the Prowler. The Spectre is also much better.

Are you still there?

I see what's on your mind, and can guess what's on your face.

Edit: damn that was crude...

Spectre owns. The Prowler sucks when it comes to shooting.

I would like to see the spectre back. Since Halo 3 ODST takes place in the Halo 2 timeline, it would fit in more with the game. I do not care for the Brute version, the prowler because you have to lead the turret plasmas a mile ahead of the target. Really annoying. Good thread.

  • 07.23.2009 8:18 PM PDT

Wow, I didn't know that many people (proportionally) agreed with me. Who knows, maybe Bungie could make the Spectre for an update alongside ODST.

  • 07.24.2009 1:21 AM PDT

Hey Bob, what are those things jumping across the rooftops like majestic warriors dressed as Spartans with their heads on fire?

Oh, that's just the Bungie ninjas. Mess with them and they'll bring a hammer down on your head that's so big, they have to keep it on Jupiter 'cause it won't fit on Earth.

Spectre = win. prowler sucks. btw, quick question, was the spectre able to strafe? one more question, isn't spectre an actual word? why does the spell check pick it up?

1st: yes.
2nd: I don't know, but that's how it was spelled ingame, so...

I'd certainly like the choice of one. Like if you saw a Warthod and a Spectre, you'd be able to choose one.

  • 07.24.2009 3:04 AM PDT

I like the Spectre much more than the Prowler.
The boost function, and the ability to side strafe makes it that much better.

J23: Ready 4 Anything
We must move forward. Learn, Improve, Evolve

It's was pretty good but it was replaced by the brute version which isn't that good, I like the design of the spectre it was just a 4 person, hovering warthog with a plasma turret which is pretty good. The boost was pretty good I wouldn't mind it back

  • 07.24.2009 3:22 AM PDT

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

Yes the Spectre was awsome in Halo2 and it was a shame that it didn't make Halo 3.
I would love it to be bundled into ODST however i dont think it is possable for matchmaking as it isn't on Halo3 and a forge update isn't possible due to massive complication.

Still there is always Halo reach... (hint, hint to bungie)

Wow, I am amazed at all of the people who want the spectre back. I don't blame them, the prowler is not as good as what the specte had to offer.
