I know bungie didn't make halo wars but it would be good to pilot vehicles like the hawk and vampire from a first person perspective.

If you put 'only a few' in the poll which ones?
Also please put reasons for your votes in comments - all opinions and suggestions welcome

They don't seem like they would be balanced for a FPS.

yeah i see what you mean. still blastin people with a giant needler - that would be funny

I was thinking about this, maybe some of them could make a cameo appearence. Like at one part you have to defend a pair of Cobra Turrets (cobras in lockdown mode). But you should never be able to pilot these vehicles.

Or perhaps they do appear in the game, but only with scripted animations and no ability to be driven. You know, like Tanks and other vehicles do in the Call of Duty games? For example: One mission could revolve around the player and lots of Marines escorting an Elephant convoy in a scene similar to the beginning of Gears 2, but with Warthog action.

I think most of them will be in it as I can remember watching a video to do with halo wars and someone from bungie(can't remember who it was ages ago) that all the vehicles from halo wars would be used in future halo titles :) driving about in a cobra would just be awsome

It would be pretty fun to get to ride some of the vehicle in Halo Wars in Halo Reach.

Like for instence your ecourting AV cobras and grisslys in a M1803 Warthog APC

a wolverine would be cool, having to escort something as banshees are attacking

driving a vulture would be the most epic thing to drive ever (but i don't think it would work in a FPS)

the locust would be interesting, since you cant drive scarabs why not a mini scarab (covie version of the elephant?)

likes:
wolverine (anti air)
locust (covenant scorpion?, fires straight laser, stronger shot)
rhino (could be a human wraith, weaker shot, and curving projectile)
hawk (a human banshee?, does flips, constantly moving forward)
vampire (a covenant hornet?, hovers, does no flipping)
grizzly (just a different variant of the scorpion)

dislikes
cyclops (do not like gundam in my halo)
cobra (scorpion kills vehicles already)
scarab (overpowered)
vulture (overpowered)
gremlin (not really needed)

Locust would be cool but they would have to make a walking animation that changes as he goes over uneven ground and that could get hard.

  • 07.24.2009 9:11 AM PDT

maybe they could animate it like a character or an AI, and make it drivable?

  • 07.24.2009 9:21 AM PDT

Yes, all of them. Halo Reach should have the same game play as halo 3 just more EPIC. Gaint air battle between a Friget and The Spirt of Fire... The big covenant ship from H:CE... With vampires and banshees dukin' it out with hornets and Hawks

That would be a nice nod I think, having those vehicles in the game but scripted or even just burnt out wreckage of them. But I'm not sure how canon Bungie regard those vehicles. I personally think they don't look as sharp or well designed as the standard Halo vehicles.

It would be cool some games have done it well. Can't remember any xbox games that have it off the top of my head maybe chromehounds?

Well H3 had the Hayabusa armour as a nod to DOA so perhaps Bungie will do something similar with Reach as a nod to Ensemble. That would be pretty sweet.

ive got a bullet with your name on it but i accidently used it on justin bieber

grizzly,hawk,cobra

The vehicles in halo wars are great but with things like the hawk, no one would need the banshees or hornets... I would love to use the vehicles though maybe they could use them in mini games or follow the system in vallhalla where each team has one each... or theres always that oppertunity to make even more vehicles but then theres the risk of making the game about the vehicles not the characters

I don't see why not, except of course in the case of the Scarab. At least let us place them in Forge. Who cares if they aren't incredibly balanced? They'd be fun. They don't have to be in all maps.
