Ghost variants on Reach? Or similar Covenant vehicle variants?
Reach was invaded by a huge force, and lord knows they had all kinds of hardware to pummel the humans with.
Brutes did not have a huge presence on Reach and may not make a showing at all, and this is mainly because of the holy nature of their mission. They are after an insanely important artifact buried under Reach. Thus this is a mission charged to the deadly and revered hands of the Sanghelli. The annihilation of all human presence is a sub-mission to this.
So, I doubt we'll see much Brute hardware on Reach. But the Elites and Covenant gotta crush Reach with something. So what's it gonna be? Ghosts, Banshees, and Wraiths aren't gonna cut it, and this game is supposed to up the ante anyhow.
Some stuff I'd like to see: Ghost variant with quad-plasma guns and no boost, Banshee variant with beam weapon instead (similar to Sentinel beams), Wraith variant for anti-personnel that sprays bursts of needles that are deadly to infantry but don't hurt vehicles much, and are only short to mid range.
And any fan of Halo knows the fanbase has asked for flyable troop transports like Pelicans and Phantoms. Sure, it might fit into only one gametype on matchmaking but what the hey, throw it in Campaign too and we'd all have a good ol' time.
