Imagine, a big, great horse with armor, and an overshiled like Masterchief. UNSTOPPABLE!
I think it's a great idea, what do YOU think?

Sure! And why stop there? Why not release horse armor as DLC?

Why don't you level 50's out there, when you finally decide to apply for colleges...why don't you put that you were a level 50 on your application. And put it on your job resume, too. See how much it matters, and how much people care.

no horse alive could hold a spartan in full gear and not be crushed. some of them weight well over a ton

why would the people in the game waste their valuable time physicly augmenting a horse and fitting MJOLNIR army to a unit they dont even need when they have mongooses and warthogs and the Master Chief himself. The UNSC does not need Master Horse

Thats like asking if a Tauntaun would be a good vehicle, and i don't think tauntauns would be useful because when a spartan gets cold they don't have to sleep in one, their armor takes care of that.

How about a machine horse, or a motor cycle called a horse...every human vehicle is named after animals anyway

Call it a Stallion... basically the human Ghost. Between the Ghost and Chopper in terms of resilience, bulky, with machinegun turrets on the front.

I pictured an actual horse with metal plates, a machine gun and a rear mounted turret/toe cable for taking down pesky AT-ATs.

Then I realized that that poor horse would be crushed under the weight of a Spartan and I shed a tear for what could have been....

The Chief, in full armour, weighs about 1000 lbs. That's half of a ton. No Spartan has ever been described as weighing over a ton.

Edit: Of course, 1000 lbs is still far too much for any horse to carry.

but then you realize all the retarded GT's that might pop up because of the 12 year olds think that a horse makes you bad as...

EX: War, Famine, Pestilence, (the other one's name escapes me for the moment). TeH4ThHrSeMen, Apocalypz, etc.....

Arby n The Chief - THER CANZ BE NLY 1

No way, and who knows by then they maybe extinct.

  • 08.21.2009 10:48 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Not if you're playing as a Spartan, in which case you weigh about a tonne. Even then, you're very exposed on a horses back. I think there's a reason the Cavalry is obsolete.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

Riding in on horseback lost it's effect with the perfection of an accurate rifle. They were made even more obsolete by armored vehicles that could carry more, move quicker, and don't succumb to fatigue.

Not too good a fit.
