it would still be awsome to have small motor boats that pelicans could drop off just think it would be totaly awesome for bungie to make a island multiplayer map that had boats

Why get out a flying ship that is a lot more sturdier, just to get on a flimsy motorboat?

because the motor boat is alot more manuverable. its like comparing a warthog to a mongoose sure the warthog has more power but the mongoose is faster and less likely someone will blow you up

I make a legitimate thread on the most logical choice for the next Bond actor, and you take that away from me by creating a parody thread indirectly connecting my thread to yours.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.

Boats weren't very useful due to the lack of water in most situations, and the fact that air did the job just as well.
I say we just bring in the Halo wars vehicles, minus the grizzly and cyclops. Grizzly would remove the point of the scorpion, cylcops would be cool but too weak after a while, unless it had something like jump jets, which let us get close and beat the -blam!- out of someone. Cobra would be like the gauss turret, except slower rate of fire, zoom, and not moving while zoomed. Maybe even a lock-down ability that would render it vulnerable, but increase firepower. The Wolverine would just be cool, with a slower rate of fire, like a portable missile pod. The vampire would be sweet; give us one side seat for the plasma cannons, and make the needles behave like the ones in Halo 2. With a slower rate of fire. And damage against air units.
The locust would be like a walking sentinel beam with no overheat and longer range.
And then some. Bungie has been original before, why not now?

Wrong there, mister. For one thing, Mongeese can't take anywhere near as much damage as a Warthog, and the Warthog is actually faster: Mongeese just has a faster acceleration. Anyways, Pelicans are a lot more manuverable. Moterboats are impeded by waves, and have to pretty much stop to do a sharp 90 degree turn, Pelicans don't have to.

but think about it if you were a covenent what would you blow up first a small motor boat with virttualy no guns or a huge pelican that could totaly dominate you

Most Pelicans don't have guns on them. Anyways, they are just as easy to take out (One fuel rod shot from a Banshee is always enough, which is kinda sad). Also, the people on the boat are awefully exposed, zero chance of survival if (more like when) they get caught.

What if the motor boat had like three gauss guns (like a triple gauess) on it or somthin. It could take down a phantom fast and probably be able to out manuver it long enogh.

Kinda illogical money-wise. Too much money-loss when it gets sunk.

Jet packs count as vehicles so hes right with the elite thing. And yeah if we could fly horneets and phantoms its like a flyable tank. strong, but slow as crud.

You played Halo 2, no? Scarap took one out with a Plasma cannon (not the big cannon), in Halo 3, AA Wraiths also destroyed one (nobody survived). Anyways, rockets don't need to hit Mongeese to destroy it. Splash Damage is enough to destory it, or at least make it go flying across the map.

Please stop using the Mongoose as an analogy, because a motorboat is nothing like it. They are way more susceptible to explosions.

They are equipment, not vehicles.

All im sayin is in FEW cases i and im sure alot of other people would choose a motorboat over a pelican

They basically suck compared to a Pelican. Don't know what you are smoking when you say that.

Which should I choose, the big ass but more stable, heavy armored, powerful Scorpian Tank, or the tiny, unstable, one-shot kill Mongoose?

Says Spectre in these kinds of threads.

Because Bungie thought it would be cute to replace it with the Prowler.

Yeah, nothing like a motor and splashing water roaring in the night!

If you want to be stealthy, walk, or in this case, swim.
