Subject: Elephant = Shadow. DUH!

After all this talk about having ''something like an Elephant in Halo 3: ODST'' I now realize how people are missing something so obvious. The Shadow was a Covenant transport vehicle used during the events of Halo 2 (also the time line of Halo 3: ODST) to quickly displace troops in areas where Phantoms could not get to (I.E. Highway tunnels, ring a bell?).

So, I believe instead of this ''garbage truck'' mumbo jumbo, we're going to be able to high-jack a Shadow some point in the story, to accomplish a mission, with the whole squad on board (one driving, one in the turret, and the rest riding). This would also mean we finally get to drive those beasts!

To me, it's quite obvious: Elephant = Shadow

Discuss.

No. It doesn't work. They wont have need for players to use the Shadow. Number one, the whole entire squad will NOT be together. Number two, if they were they would use a Troop carrier warthog. Its' the same reason in Halo 2 why you couldnt use it....

it appears you have fallen into a sarchasm...
its the gap between someone making a sarcastic comment, and you picking up on that sarcasm...

This was mentioned in that same thread, and you could have kept discussion in there, but I suppose you needed your five minutes of fame..?

What...? It was said the squad will eventually meet up... You can even see it in one of the videos... And why wouldn't they use a Shadow? Maybe it's part of a mission? Ya know, when they don't have access to a Troop Transport Warthog? Assaulting something?

Nobody has posted a thread about it. And from what I've read, nobody else but me has mentioned it. I've posted it in several threads and it was simply being ignored. Posing a thread was the only way to get the idea out there.

I love you stosh.

The Shadow was obviously a fail. You know why?

Cause it's not in any other Halo game. Same with the Spectre....And no the entire squad doesnt meet up. What you saw was only Four ODSTs together, Dare and the Rookie are missing....

Fix'd. At honestly, this makes the most sense I've seen in a while. Props, it just might happen. However, I doubt we drive it. Perhaps we stand ontop firing off of it? Or we follow it with a ghost / warthog / mongoose?

It will be a tone Down elephant, big enough to fit in NM's streets but enough to protect you from Gunfire.

Ever notice the circumstances it was in? Transporting troops to places where Phantoms can't get to. There we're no other places in the Halo series such as these. Now that we are returning to New Mombasa, it only makes sense.

just because in a vidoc a character says we could use the garbage trucks if we needed to, doesnt mean that you NEED to.

Or perhaps a retreat? They grab Dare out of her pod, and bust the hell out of the courtyard?

Actually, you haven't even mustered up anything decent. You just keep acting like you did. My theory makes perfect sense, why can't you just understand that?

EDIT: Ok, you do!
