After playing "Halo Wars", I grew in love with one of the UNSC's most powerful vehicle: the Vulture. It is an uber-unit of the game. It is very resilient and packs alot of firepower.According to the "Halo Wars" official site: "The Vulture is one of the UNSC's most powerful units. Basically a highly armed flying assault tank packed to the brim with weapons. The UNSC Vulture is the largest aircraft fielded by the UNSC. It is designed to deliver massive damage to enemy ground troops after air superiority has been achieved. It is slow moving but carries an impressive armament of two twin-autocannons and rocket silos that can be used to deliver a devastating barrage to enemies in a wide area.Crewed by highly trained UNSC pilot and gunners, the Vulture is an expensive unit and is usually reserved for difficult or lengthy battles. Being slow, it is vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire and enemy aircraft, but it is surprisingly resilient." Here are some images:VultureClose-UpIn ActionJust think about it. Would you like to pilot a vehicle as powerful as this in "Halo Reach"?[Edited on 11.06.2009 6:33 PM PST]
It's much to large to pilot by yourself, but a 5 man team stationed in different positions (pilot, gunner, secondary gunner, navigator, etc.) would be truely amazing.[Edited on 11.06.2009 6:35 PM PST]

Yes!

Hot freaking damn, I want one of those. Especially when Ive always wanted to feel like a spartan pilot or so (Ive always been pretty damn good at driving vehicles of games like halo or red faction guerilla but ironically not on actual racing games.. o_0)

You can't pilot them. You need a crew of six to fly one, plus those things are so freaking huge. They would take up the better part of the map.
Marine Corps. Semper Fi.Posted by: Wikked NavajoeMy problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.
To be honest, I would prefer a Grizzly but a Vulture would be hella fun too.
Posted by: Wild Smurf 14You can't pilot them. You need a crew of six to fly one, plus those things are so freaking huge. They would take up the better part of the map.Huge, but not uber sized mind you. Should be about the same size as the Elephants on Sandtrap, if not, a little longer.

A Vulture is about the length of a Scarab.

Exactly, which would then make a Vulture larger due to the smaller proportions of all Halo Wars units, correct?Have you have parked a Grizzly next to a car on The Docks? Holy crap...

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.
It would make for a great Campaign mission. It would be a unique Co-op experience if each person had a different obligation to pilot the unit. I don't think that it would work very well with multiplayer though, could be cool.

It is pretty damn slow and has a decent amount of armor.

Falcon Punch! I WANT THIS NAO...maybe as a campaign level or something.. all the other flight fighting is to slow... or forge it... those racetracks would be sweet
definitly. but should be a team effort to just to do fully opperate it like 1 to pilot and opperate missiles, 2 double turret seats, and some other kool features:]
