I was recently playing Halo Wars and I thought of the idea, "What if locusts were playable in Halo 3?" Do you think that it would fit into the multiplayer of Halo: Reach? It would not be that hard of a task. It would move a little slower than a tank and would basically have the same controls. Also, the laser would overheat. I am not sure about the hijacking though. Maybe crawl up the legs and pop open the hatch? Do you think Bungie could pull it off?

EDIT: The laser would have the same range as the spartan laser. I am also not talking about the anti-building aspect of the locust either. I think it should be more like an anti-vehicle weapon.

So you want something like a Covenant tank I assume. Well you might be surprised at what my crack team of researchers discovered. Halo already has a vehicle to compare to the tank. You ready?

Wraith.

Bungie could pull any vehicle off, they're awesome like that.

It sounds like a good idea only if they include destructible environments. Otherwise, it's pointless.

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

When you said locust in your title i thought you were talking about Gears of War. Thank god for that.

If that happened I would seriously laugh my ass off

Hmm...

It would be cool to have in the campaign, like you walk out and see it destroying a UNSC base. It might work multiplayer if a gametype involves destroying a certain building.
I don't know how it would work out with line-of-site issues with it's laser.

I kinda hoped no one would assume the GOW locust. I guess I could have worded the question differently.
