On sandtrap in H3, bungie made a vehicle called the elephant. When they made ODST, they made the Oliphant a garbage truck. I think in reach, there should be a war version of the oliphant to replace the slow elephant. It would be 2x the size of the oliphant, and be the same color as the chiefs suit.
It would be closeable, and you could walk around in it. It would also have a turrent, equipped on top of it.

Basically, it's a fast, closeable elephant. Thoughts?

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

I think that real Elephants are faster than in-game Elephants. You know, similar to every other vehicle in the game.

So, basically a fast Elephant?
Why not?

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Actually I would have liked if the one on ODST was an Elephant.

Oliphant is ugly blob of metal that doesn't seem to support any sort of gameplay

Speed is just a matter of balance and tweaking

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

Doesn't Halo Wars have a war elephant?

Were it so easy.

Its called an elephant. Thats the UNSC version already.

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

AGAIN, IT'S TURRET!!!!!!!!

Nice idea, but personally I'd like it to be the Halo Wars version.

Just call me Najar.

The elephant is slow because its armored, it has armament and also carries vehicles and troops, the oliphant is not armored thats why its faster.
But i agree the elephant should be a bit faster so yeah.

  • 11.11.2009 12:43 PM PDT

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

Oh, thought you ment one of those huge elephants in Lord of the rings so I voted no :(

Yeah I agree to a fast elephant, but I think that the elephant should still be called elephant. I also think there should be options like if you pres fire when driving it, there will be a door that closes and a roof that comes on (we can call this power mode) so no one else can get in unless they destroy it...

Believe it or not, but the Elephant is the war version of the garbage truck in H3: ODST.

  • 11.11.2009 12:51 PM PDT

Well, the elephant is the "war" version of euh.. well the elephant!

The could make a version, which is like the one in Halo Wars.
Still, I like the elephant the way it is. although they should give it some more space, in which I mean that you're not only allowed to drive it in a big and a smaller circle around the map, but in any direction around all of the map.

I don't know if the OP is Dutch or if there's a language which uses almost the same word for elephant as the Dutch, but we Dutch people use the word "olifant" for the animal which you call an elephant. ;)

I am not dutch. People just told me that the garbage truck was called and spelled the "Oliphant".

That sounds like a master chief tank! But it has an image of a green block with one turrent on the top of it. Fail!

They should just use the elephant on more maps. The Oliphant is just a smaller, faster version of the Elephant but they are too similar to both be in Reach.
