Wouldn't it be cool if they added a stationary machine gun to the tank that other players could get on and fire while riding on the tank. It would provide awesome support against ground targets. What you think guys?

Actually I wish they had made the turret have a gunner so you could fire the gun while the driver was evading.

Yeah but then you run into the problem of conflicting agendas.

Lol, the agenda of the gunner is to blow the crap out of anything he sees; Tanks, hogs, enemies, friends, Covenant, small furry wildlife. If it moves it dies!

lol. yeah having a mounted gun is a good idea. like if the driver is blasting the crap out of a tank in front and there is an army of enemies in back the guy in the gun could take out the infantry while the driver takes out the tank.

That'd be a good idea. The co-axially mounted machine gun on the tank is next to useless. I don't think I've ever killed anyone with it. I only use it to get a Banshee's attention before I blast em out of the sky.

Well than maybe someone should mod it eh? It is supposed to be a tank and have a huge killing spreeness. Maybe someone could change the tank secondary into a warthog gun then. It has been done on Custom Edition

The secondary machine gun is too inaccurate to be used effectively in Combat Evolved. What Bungie should have done was nerf the bullets when they made it for the Xbox, and increase accuracy. They also should have made the radius of the main cannon much smaller.

you mean, something sorta like this ww2 american m4 sherman? you can see that there is a coaxial mg, a forward hull mounted mg, and a mg mounted on top of the main turret.
