You know, who in Halo PC ever uses tanks anymore, only a couple servers, one about all heavy weapons uses them. Tanks are fun to use, and they're great in defensive uses, but the way it is controlled makes it horrible in an offense assult. But still they're fun to use, but why have we all have but forgotten them?

Many people feel it overpowered or cheap, because some believe that there nothing more than spawnkilling machines. In fact, those of you who frequent the servers will find the server named "SPAWNKILLINGTANKWHORES!!!!!" or something to that effect.

But yes, we love the tank. I just wish the machine gun wasn't so worthless; each shot is equal to a pistol's, but it's more inaccurate than the assault rifle!

Last night in the Gathering I put one tank per side on Death Island CTF. I went on a Tank Noob Running Roit. I agree they are over-powered and cheap and generally upset the balance of the game; but once you get inside one all bets are off.

HaloMan321, er, some of the time a (ok a lot of the time) tanks get stranded out in the middle of the map and then one team takes them ALL. Then the other team has a couple hogs, etc but won't stand a chance, and most new people (yes, I saw your signature..) ONLY use it for the whole game. I got the "FREAKIN' UNREAL" sign come up (thats 25 killz) when I used the tank then they kicked me from the game, and sorta thats unfair that I get 25 killz cause I only started to really play MP recently.

I usually do my Lone wolf-Col. Burten technique in ghosts, hogs and 'shees but when there's a Scorp' camper I get killed in 0.00000000000000004 seconds...

they're much better in Halo 2, you can board them and puch the driver's face in, or rip open the driver's compartment and plant a sticky on his face. But it H1, they're far too overpowered. Unless you're in a ghost, i can slaughter any tank in a ghost. I can slaughter anything in a ghost actually...

They're good for defense, and slightly faster than foot, but I only use them for shock tactics (e.g. Oh, look, an empty tank and a banshee is attacking. *jumps into tank, blows up shee then exits again*), plasma nades own them too well.

However, I love serveers with tanks. They make EXCELLENT sniper target practice.
