This may have been asked before, I am not going through the hundreds of pages just to find out. I think that the selection of vehicles is a bit slim, no APC's, Light Tanks, Rocket Launchers, or even some kind of flier like a gunship. maybe it's me but the vehicles are too few in variety.

They probably have lots of other things. They would have artillery, morters, lighter tanks, heavier tanks, SAM vehicles, lots of stuff, but most of arent fun to drive.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

all things considered, with both games you didn't spend much time on earth so it would be pretty hard to confirm whether or not that they only have a few vehicles available to them. they do have a longsword fighter which is their space fighter.

They have fighters, bombers, fighter helicopters(probably) almatross dropships, and probably other tanks plus navies.

What about their actual ships? I have a question about the MAC gun. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a laser? And as a laser, being just concentrated light, it would travel at the speed of light, correct? Then how can the Covenant dodge the MAC guns? The only way for ships to go faster than the speed of light would be slipspace, and not even the Covenant can instantly go into slipspace. Anyone know anything about this?

lol, laser? Its M.A.C. Magnetic Acceleration Cannon. Its a tungsten slug that is like 100 tons that is ejected into space at ultra-hyper-sonic speeds by huge electromagnets. A very very skilled and experience veteran Zealot could possibly figure out how to dodge one when at a good distance, probably by knowing if it is aimed at his ship yet.

Read about the Forgotten Spartan I Program
Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
sir_brilliant: To extend out reach to the stars above!
SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

Where did you get the idea its a laser? Its like the musket of the 26th century. Just shoot a giant slug and hope to hit something.

The MAC gun is a Magnetic Acceleration Cannon it fires a solid shell at near light speeds, kind of like the concept of the rail gun

Its not even NEAR light speeds!!!! Near light is like 90 or 80% of light speed. The largest of thte largest MAC stations have 20% speed of light. The ships have like 10 or less % of speed of light.

What I am meaning is that I would like to see a level in which you could dogfight with a mess of banshees with a UNSC Gunship or atmospheric fighter, also the covenant have an indirect fire weapon so why not a howitzer say self propelled 125 mm unit. How about a MLRS, Light tank thats faster maybe with a 70mm high velocity gun and a secondary 5.56 mm machine gun. For Halo 2 they increased the number of enemiy types and vehicles they hadbut all the UNSC had is 2 pilotable vehicles.I would like to see more for the UNSC.

I don't know but if you look at most of the levels in Halo and Halo 2 they are fought on foot using small arms. They might have other vehicles it would make sense. Perhaps many vehicles are not required for this more evolved form of combat. More vehicles would be fun though.

i think you shouldnt say the CE vehicles too cause then it would not be UNSC's cause someone else made it on CE its only a UNSC vehicle if its on the actual halo ( not saying halo CE isnt real )

You gotta remember that in Halo 1, everything you see from the UNSC came off the Pillar of Autumn. It's not like they had a huge arsenal or armory close by. They do have Longsword fighter jets for in-space dogfights with the Seraphs (Convenant fighters.) I'm sure that eventually we'll get to see a lot more vehicles, even if we don't get to pilot them.

Yes why don't you know?The UNSC has tons of vehicles but they don't let players command these vehicles. Like the Longsword fighter, or the pelican. They should really let us pilot these.

My friend Umali dreams of a Halo that says 'Press E to flip Covenant Dropship'. oh, and 62.mm anti-Guilty Spark Cannons.
