Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

firefight
enemys land on deck or come in covie boats. The place where you can go in for cover will have spawns, healthpacks etc...

Why would they need boats?

all my BASES are belong to YOU!

lmfao covie boat. XD
But yea unsc doesn't realy need those warships. the ones in longshore are old and abandoned. which is why they are in a port in old mombasa.

actually, the unsc navy is just spacecraft by the looks of it. proper boats are probably just used commercially by civilians who cant buy spacecraft. it woulnt be very practical in battle, since ships are only really useful against ships. spaceships could fly around them

Awesome isn’t just a word. Awesome is a way of life. Awesome is a way of war. Teamwork matters the most. Lone Wolves jeopardize the missions. Teamwork is key. Resistance is futile. The covenant fear us, not the other way around. We don’t fight for Earth. We don’t fight for Reach. We fight for the good of mankind because we are A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

Isnt the navy, a different part of military? UNSC stands for : United Nations SPACE Command, so it has nothing to do with the navy I think, but I like the boat idea.

the UNSC navy is essentially the fly boys and those guys on the big ships in space, not a naval force. Also, at this time space is somewhat referenced like water, and slipstream space is like when there is a current or strong wind.

And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives: not men, for flags.

Yeah, the UNSC Navy is considered their space-faring vehicles. Thus is why they use several of the same classifications of current warships.

I could see boats being used for commercial use. In a future where you have dropships that can travel out of the atmosphere and such, which can travel over water much faster over water than a boat could cross, then they are rendered pretty much useless by the military. Now, I could see aircraft carriers, or mobile water command stations, but as far as warships, I don't see them having a place in Halo.

Any maritime forces that the UNSC has probably fall under the jurisdiction of the UNSC Army. These forces are probably limited to small carriers that serve as mobile surface bases to transport, supply, and launch aircraft and have some protective armament.

simple... you can only have so much anti air on ground... you put anti air navy ships that covers the ocean as well... navy also good for long range artillery against tanks... cant get close enough to shoot the boat because tanks cant go on water... well most tanks I wouldnt think

Thank you.

GUYS, its a NAVY of SPACE. SHIPS.

ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) for instance seems to have jurisdiction over lots of stuff and that wouldn't make much sense if they were limited to water.

The UNSC clearly has a navy, so why not include it HALO:REACH? (navy includes boats and carriers as seen on longshore) Cariers have docking platforms for small boats at water level and can deploy boats, stairs lead to the deck from the docking platform. You will also be able to go into the carrier a little bit for cover.


campaign
In one(1) mission, you have to protect a carrer as it delivers a special cargo of some sort.

firefight
enemys land on deck or come in covie boats. The place where you can go in for cover will have spawns, healthpacks etc...

multiplayer
2 carriers docked along side with catwalks between decks and boats to drive around. Some catwalks are covered.

will go into more detail later.




BEAST that would be sweet

...space is the new sea. They've been using the navy since HCE. But yes, I think it would be interesting to have water craft for multiplayer or campaign missions, but if all they do is stick a big boat in the ocean that you fight on (like the cruisers you fight on in space), it would be pointless.

If you want to know the best tips for playing halo Reach.
Look no further than Winter Contingency

Any body here ever play star wars battle front 2? If so remember space battles?

Space battles+Halo= Awesomesauce

Also Like the post above this one says the Navy in the future deals in Space ships Remember in Halo 2? when Hood says about Keyes, "The Navy has lost one of it's best."

I've always thought no purpose of water vehicles in Halo but I made a covie boat for the heck of it a long time ago in BK N&B

scroll down a bit for the covie boat, a lot of other custom halo vehicles there too.

They wont use horses, boats, helicopters (ROFLCOPTERS especially), etc. because they are 500 years in the future, the stuff i mentioned above will be easily destroyed or killed easily. Because the Covenent have armor melting plasma weopons and BIG GUNS ie: fuel rod, gravity hammer etc.
