Other than the Grizzly which is the late John Forge's non-standard Scorpion upgrade (ie unique to the Spirit of Fire) and is basically just a heavier and more powerful Scorpion anyway (so it would add little variety and would just be unbalanced) I would like to see some Halo Wars units in Reach. It would add legitimacy to that game for the idiots shouting "Halo Wars is not canon!" despite having been shown many times how their arguments are null and void.
You forgot the Rhino, true in Halo Wars the only Rhinos were the experimental ones outfitted with captured Wraith Plasma Mortars but most Rhinos are still howitzer tanks that launch metal shells.
Other nitpicks:
It's actually called a Sparrowhawk, Hawk is just a verbal abbreviation. And it only has one laser, which is basically a Spartan Laser but shoots a white beam for some reason, probably different heat or energy output. Sparrowhawks also have machine guns.
Technically the Cobra's lockdown just allows it to fire it's 110mm heavy gauss gun, without locking down the recoil would flip the vehicle.
A Locust's main gun is like a scaled down Scarab Gun.
The UNSC would classify a Vampire as an Air Superiority VTOL. Basically this means an aircraft designed to destroy other aircraft and generally not effective against ground targets.
Halo Wars isn't cannon.
Go ahead. Show how Halo Wars numerous plot holes and discrepancies are "Null and Void".
I wouldn't mind seeing the Sparrowhawk, but I hope they keep Reach mostly infantry fighting.
Ok, I'll bite:
The Spirit of Fire couldn't report about the Flood because they were adrift in Space after the fight at the Shield World.
Regret didn't actually say that Humans are the descendents of Forerunners (Even if he did, Ripa still died).
Ripa is overly ignorant, causing him to underestimate Forge.
It wouldn't make sense that we never encountered the officers of the Covenant (Elites) for almost 27 years into the war (retconned that little fact from the Book).
And, to top it all off, Bungie even said it was.
