Hey, many of the vehicles in halo2 seem to have a match for covies and humans. Ghost/ATV Warthog/Shadow Pelican Dropship/Covie dropship Scorpian/Mortar tank....Banshee/human plane? I think it would be cool to have a human equivalent. with like a rocket as the main fire, like the plasma blast on the banshee. and maybe machine gun fire like 2 ma5bs as the secondary....what do you think?

Maybe a single seat VTOL jet that has two LAAGs and two rockets and by pressing B you could drop small bombs, but you only have a limeted number.

That would be cool but way to unbalanced.

I would like the Human one to be 2 person. Would make it a little more than different from the Banshee. Let the 2 person face backwards to protect the back of the plane with some kind of weapon.

cover the sides

Yeah that would be good, make it 180* left/right and up/down. That way you can cover the entire back and shoot ground targets. Probably give him a Laag or a Gauss Gun so he can take out enemy planes.

Since Bungie has been guarding their plot so intensly I can only imagine that they have some other secrets up their sleeves like veichles, weapons etc...

I always saw pictures of a marine ATV or something, but that was a while ago, or perhaps a different game. Correct me if I am crazy.

Well I just like the idea of team vehicles and team work. Brings a little more strategy to the air if you have to work with someone else.

Since the Banshee now does not seem to have a fuel rod gun, it is basically a flying Ghost.

i personally know that most of the time on xbox live teamwork is just a random word in some foregin language, most people on counter strike or rainbow six 3 dont really use teamwork that much, but i see how it could work and the posibilities of LAN, if that makes any sence.

Team work works, you just gotta know the right people, often in Counter Strike it prevails, if your getting whooped, just organise a team rush... or some other team manouver (spelling) it'll give you a win once in a while...

Once again you must be playing the right kinda people.... if you dont know the people, theyre likely to ignore you!

I dont see the Covenant Shadow as a Covenant equivalent of the Hog. I mean the Hog is a three man vehicle that is rather small, whereas the Shadow appears to be more of a transport bus!
*EDIT* I think its possible I've got the wrong vehicle, I'm thinking of the vhicle that MC blows up while in the back of the Hog in the E3 2003 video!

It's gotta be one of those vertical takeoff and landing planes, like a harrier, but cooler.

That one's called the "Creep" if I'm correct?

The Shadow is 1 driver/1 gunner with a plasma turret equal to the Shade...

Yeah I know what we're talking about now. Are there any other pictures of it apart from the Concepts??
And to make this on topic, I think a human plane with two LAAG's would be a little overpowered. I think maybe one LAAG would be enough.

Are the shadows the big tank thingies that are really slow and not powerful? They suck.

they need to make a human equivelent like a two person warthog that flies. Maybe one person but there has been talk of it being the skyhawk from the books but a skyhawk from the description it gave was way to big and way to overpowered for a banshee.

what you want is a jet plane which can verticallly take of like a harrier. it should be a little bit faster than the banshee. it has a chain gun equivalent of the warthog laag on the bottom front, with around same rate of fire and acuracy but with explosve bullets which have the power of about half a grenade each. this is it's only gun as it is pretty good. the bad thing about teh vehicle is it has really -blam!-y armour. around half the strength of banshees.

:D

I hope its some sort of small 2 seated vertical take off and landing vehicle. I'd give it the LAAG and some sort of grenade launcher. Those weapons would be the equivalent of the banshee's plasma fire and fuel rod cannon.

Hasn't the fuel rod cannon been removed from the Banshee, so that it can boost?

The fuel cannon was the best, didn't get to use it much though, don't have Halo PC.
