Subject: Can we have an actual Warthog convoy?

"What's up baby, how are you doin'? I hate the sound of my own voice and I been invited here to distract my self from the fact that I wrote all of this garbage."

Armored cars, and tanks, and jeeps, and rigs of every size?

I believe he's going with a large scale convoy...

A convoy is a group of vehicles (of any type, but usually motor vehicles or ships) traveling together for mutual support and protection. Often, a convoy is organized with armed defensive support, though it may also be used in a non-military sense, for example when driving through remote areas.

Two warthogs watching each other's asses seems to fit the definition to me.

We've kinda already had one. Remember the Covenant?
If you want to be technical, yeah, it was in the Covenant. But how Bungie planned he level design it wasn't really a parading force. We just kinda felt like a gung-ho group or vehicles. I don't know how to properly word it, but something like that.

I'm talking about a convoy in a larger scale, like someone said.

You can get convoys of Hogs in H3 and ODST..... It requires a lot of setting up and I absolutely hate it when the Hogs suddenly stop. I spend a lot of time in Campaign bumping hogs to get them moving again, they eventually do but I really had hoped this bug would have been sorted out since it first appeared in H2.
Yup. Failed UNSC management. Same goes for infantry, you just want them to tag along with you to keep an epic atmosphere.

Right before a scarab fight on the ark in H3 there's a whole mess of warthogs and scorpions remember?
I was expecting them to actually drive beside you. Some of the Scorpions don't even move, and when you pass two checkpoints or so their as good as gone. I'm not asking for scripted, linear levels. I just think your allies should keep up.

I would love to see Halo Wars vehicles make appearances in a FPS. Cobras, wolverines, sparrowhawks, grizzly tanks would be pretty awesome to use.

Though for a sparrowhawk and grizzly would be extremely rare due to their power, or have multiple seats. Like one person flys/drives while the other person controls the weapons.


No.. just no.. please dont include halo wars vehicles in reach bungie!

I haven't really played Halo Wars but some of the vehicles did seem cool.

If it works, it works?

(1)the only way to escape death is death itself.
(2) pwn the world bungie
(3) never give in to BS, your always going good in your own way.

those are good ideas, I hope bungie can stick a level like that in the campaign.

  • 11.14.2009 12:02 AM PDT

That would be awesome.

this would be kinda like star wars(forgot name) where on one level your protecting a convoy and reach your destination,then anakin spots a sith lord(again forgot name) and chases after him, then there is a noise and a super droid thing(damn why do i keep forgetting their names) just vaporizes the convoy and it`s only you vs the big giant droid thing

  • 11.14.2009 2:33 AM PDT

i would love a leve like it and it could also work in matchmaking like there is a gametype escort where there is an elephant and 4 hogs and a tank have to escort it to the score point while the defenders try to destroy it

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

the idea of taking a convoy to defend a defense platform would definitely be cool. you could see the lead vehicle get taken out by a fuel rod cannon then all hell breaks loose.

and as much as i like using scorps and stuff, i really would like to go back and forth between vehicles in a single convoy level and use a variety of weapons. well, that might be a little too much like COD2.

It would be cool to see lot's of vehicles going together, a real show of force.

The coolest mission from CoD4 was Charlie Don't Surf because of all the Blackhawks in the beginning, and the mission in Gears of War 2 in which all those derricks are heading to Landown is very cool as well.


Agreed. The best thing a game can do is make something on a huge scale, while still giving the player a degree of control over the outcome. A scene in the game with a few dozen warthogs and 2-3 marines each would make Reach a truly awesome game, just for the ability to play that scene over and over.
