vehicle*
locust*
here are all the vehicles in HW and why they can't be in the game :
locust : sentinel beam on steroids + low mobility and shields. a mongoose would last longer.
grizzly : super scorpion. ultra overpowered.
hawk : super hornet with 2 gauss guns. a hornet is OP already.
cobra : tank version of the gauss hog. OP
cyclops : slow, cant jump, cant use guns, cant use grenades. can ONLY melee.
vampire : AA only
gremlins : giant plasma pistol on wheel. good only at stunning vehicles.
there. now forget it.
You're funny z0rgy, most of those are wrong and you neglected Wolverines.
You're just making assumptions about the Locust, it's beam would probably be effective at great range and would be quite powerful.
Maybe you're right about Grizzlies, they're just modded Scorpions anyway.
A Sparrowhawk has two machine guns and a single M6 Grindell/Galilean Non-Linear Rifle (Spartan Laser).
A Cobra isn't a tank, it would be roughly as durable as a Warthog and it would be slower.
I doubt that a Spartan would even fit in a Cyclops anyway.
Vampires do have their extremely long range plasma repeaters too, and there's no technical reason that they can't direct their needles at ground targets (it's just a matter of balance).
Plasma pistols can get rid of shields too, not that incredibly weak anti-personnel capabilities of the Halo Wars Gremlin can't be tweaked to fit the needs of an FPS.
wow, a smart guy. /sarcasm.
I think you really need to play HW.
if bungie didn't include the sentinel beam, they sure aren't going to put a 10 times stronger version of it. that's just using logic.
the hawk doesn't have a spartan laser... instead, ingame, it CLEARLY has 2 white laser beams and a small machinegun, like the one hornets have.
so if the laser beams are even half as stong as spartan lasers, it's OP. if the 2 beams are as strong as 1 gauss bullet, then it's OP too (considering the gauss hog is OP already).
basically a hawk is a hornet with gauss guns (or laser guns if you're hellbent on your idea) instead of missiles and more armor.
the cobra isn't technically a tank, but it has a bulky armor and goes at the same speed as a tank, and it has a heavy mounted turret and is a tank killer vehicle. I said it was a tank version of the gauss hog... which basically meant "a warthog looking like a tank, with heavy armor". again, considering gauss hogs are OP...
vamps can't fire at ground targets with their needler turret because it's located on the upper part of the craft. if it tried to shoot at the ground, it'd destroy the vampire. (and it can't even aim toward the ground). they have their dual plasma guns, but then a vampire would basically be a hovering banshee....
and since you mention wolverines : they are AA killers. their only ground weapon is a grenade launcher, and I don't see a grenade launcher in a halo game, even vehicle mounted.
