Should Hawks from Halo Wars be a playable vehicle. Personally I think they should personally because they are plain awesome. The layout would be- 1 Pilot (controls vehicle and machine guns) and 1 co-plot (controls nose laser) What are ya'lls idea about the hawk.

Wait, why are there 6 pedals but only four directions?!

I think if they could balance the nose-laser they could make it a really effective large-battle vehicle... Even if they added it in just as a forge option I would be more than happy...

That vehicle made Halo Wars for me... I would have an utter gamergasm if they DID add it...

I hope that they make the Sparrowhawk's (Hawk is short for Sparrowhawk) laser aesthetically similar to the Spartan Laser as they are essentially the same weapon. And I think it would be nice if they called the laser a "Galilean" at some point, the full name of the weapon being something like Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell-Galilean Non-Linear Rifle (Galilean for short, and fondly referred to as the Spartan Laser). (The 'Model 6' designation is somewhat puzzling seeing as there's already the M6 handguns but I guess that's why they spell it out)

I'm pretty sure that in Halo Wars the Sentinel Beam animation they had was recycled for Hawks instead of the Spartan Laser animation for technical reasons, but maybe they envisioned that the Hawks would use a hotter blast because of more available power and that animation was recycled for Sentinels. Actually I think that the latter is more likely (Sentinels were clearly a somewhat less cared for addition).

Heaven forbid that a game requires a conscious thought or modicum of patience!

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"

Something that people seem to constantly ignore with the Wars unit requests is that those types of vehicles are there simply due the nature of an RTS balance system. There is no practical reason to include something like the Hawk or the Grizzly, as there are already craft that fill those roles.

Personally I think that the only unit from Wars that may fit into a Halo FPS game would be a Wolverine and a Locust, but not as playable vehicles.

i would prefer it over the hornet, for the sole purpose of being more of a fair match with the banshee
