As everyone knows, the elephant can be one of the least favorite vehicles in halo but I feel that it has potential. These are some upgrades for the vehicle:

1. Computer or manually operated RPG's.

2. Option between chain Gun or gauss turret.

3. Little faster

4. Little more cargo space. Example: Space for warthog, scorpion, etc.....

Of course this seeming like a super vehicle that would hav horrible balance in matchmaking, this kick ass elephant should only be a available in campaign and should be only on the largest level possible. Tell me what you think.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Seems kinda pointless to spend time developing a vehicle that ends up only being used on one level. Reminds me of the Spectre in Halo 2.

2. Option between chain Gun or gauss turret.

No. Then the strategy would be "Drive hella far away from everything else and sit and slaughter anybody who pokes their head up".

The gauss cannon is by no means balanced and fair. Sure, maybe a turret that fires a slow moving rocket with little splash damage and a long recharge time, because although it would give tanks and some vehicles problem, infantry would be able to dodge it because they move quickly and because they can get underneath the radius of the turret so it can't hit them, but a gauss cannon would make the elephant overpowered.

Especially given that the turret or the Elephant can't be destroyed, and that people can spawn at the elephant.
It should also be spawnable in forge, and on more than one level, and on said levels it should be right next to where you start so its a viable option in slayer, as it is now the elephants are never used except for capture the flag games because they are a ten second walk in the wrong direction and away from the natural combat flow of the map.
