Assuming Halo: Reach takes multiplayer in a radically new direction, one that hopefully has giant battlefields, I think we need new vehicles to suit that. Here are my ideas.

Light Vehicles

The Ram

Description: Take the model of the Mongoose, add curved metal barriers on the front, and add a nitrous tank.

Effects: The Ram is a Mongoose that is designed for splattering your opponents and getting through a hectic crossfire. The barriers block plasma grenades and small arms fire. The nitrous allows for a burst of speed to really flatten your opponents

The Visitant

Description: A double seater Ghost with removed plasma cannons and a Jackal shield-like barrier that has the same function as The Ram's metal barriers.

Effects: The Visitant has the same purpose and function of The Ram, to run over your enemy. Another seat is added to give the Visitant some sort of alternative for a weapon, this time in the place of an armed passenger.


Medium Vehicles

The Boar

Description: The famous Rocket Warthog from the Halo: CE PC/Mac trailer.

Effects: Instead of a chaingun, you now fire rockets at a steady pace. The rockets are slower than the Gauss round, but they are just as deadly.

The Revenant

Description: Remember the Spectre from Halo 2? Its back, but it has an accelerated Fuelrod gun as its turret.

Effects: To match The Boar, a Fuelrod cannon that fires rounds at an accelerated pace is now affixed to the top.


Support Vehicles

The Giraffe and The Vision

"Fortress" Vehicles

The Mammoth

Description: The Elephant is bigger, badder, heavier, and....slower.

Effects: While the Elephant is slower, its added size allows it to act as a truer base than the Elephant was. It has spawn points, weapon racks, and two Warthogs.

The Phantasm

Description:Remember the Shadow from Halo 2? Guess what? Its back and built like the Mammoth.

Effects. Like The Mammoth, it has spawn points, weapons, and Specters in it. But it does have a nice Covenant purple color theme.


Air Support

The Queen Bee

Description: Imagine a bigger version of the Longsword and add four HEV pods on its wings.

Effects: I am still debating how this vehicle would be used, but I am leaning on a dynamic spawn use. Sometimes you would spawn inside a HEV pod, aim where you want to drop, and launch yourself.

The Hades

Description: A larger, more triangular Phantom that has four Covenant Orbital Insertion Pods.

Effects: It has the same function as The Queen Bee.


Conclusion

While I doubt these would get in Halo: Reach, I just wanted to share these with you. What do you think?

I was the first Spartan. And I will be the last. Mythic on 9/1/2012 never forget
PAX 08, Third Team against Luke and Shishka, AR dual to
the Death, won by one point... Assembly hasn't changed.

urk: "This is a bad idea."
DeeJ: "Hold still..."

If everyone of those makes it in I will be happy.

No surrender!

From reading the books, i am not really sure what new vehicles will be put in,
I like the ideas though, and i think you are right about Large battlefields,

and possibly new monsters, remember the old drinol beast that never made it into halo 2?

I do remember the Drinol. I would think it a mix of a Brute and Hunter in terms of difficulty. And I understand the canon aspect of Halo: Reach, but who knows right?

I actually really like some of those ideas man, I'm not in love with your names but the vehicles themselves are decent


I'm not as in love with the ramming banshee or mongoose, I think a slow moving two passenger banshee gunship would be cool, and a little armor plating on the mongoose would be nice

i agree the names can be a little lame but the vehicles themselves are great ideas and i think bungiee should really take those ideas into consideration when making reach

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

I like the ideas, but instead of huge battlefields (do not want), I think that SOME of these vehicles could be spread out over a variety of maps that range in shape and size.
