Out of all the online Fps games i played halo has been one of my favorite when it comes to vehicle combat but,I notice that the halo series has no type of sea combat like a speed bout with a gunner or any thing like that.Also you cant swim. so here's my question if the next halo game were to add a btb map were you can have boats and were you could swim in water do you think this could be balanced and would it fit with the game and be any fun?

Fancy joining a group, but don't wan't people too obsessed and serious? Want a group where messing around is a given?

No.

"I see your pan-galactic space fleet, and raise you... a speedboat!"

...yea, doesn't work.

yes it would be cool. I feel that a vehicle in halo would be a little more complex than a speed boat. It would also render some of the oceanic areas of maps easier to traverse without dying.
It would have to be thought about and properly implemented, but i can see it.

PS: I could just as quickly say "i see your intergalactic space-fleet, and raise you an atv".

True, but an ATV fills the role of being able to reach areas (dense jungle for example) that aerial inserts could not. There isn't any advantage when comparing boats with aircraft.

Take a pelican to the desired location.

The UNSC still has a wet navy though. Their aircraft carriers are roughly 3 to 4 times bigger than what we have right now. It could totally happen.

That's the point though. The ONLY feasible use for boats in such a universe is as storage for aircraft.

lol ok guys... in this universe we still drive jeeps and fly helicopters. a boat is not too unfeasible. quit trying to be so boring.

Which is comparable to the current Battleships we have now. They are outclassed.

Battleships are bigger than aircraft carriers?

I think your scales are off.

A jeep is cheaper and easier to produce - not to mention use and maintain - than an aircraft. Likewise, when did you see a Scorpion MBT's gun mounted on an aircraft. Certain vehicles still have their uses and advantages. Boats do not. It's not being boring, it's called logic.

Sea vessels in the Haloverse = outclassed by aircraft

Modern day Battleships = outclassed by aircraft and aircraft carriers

EDIT: An analogy, so to speak.

The UNSC has a wet navy but the amount is very small (as per modern day battleships) as aircraft have become far better. Not to mention the Covenant would sht on any sea vessel the UNSC throw at them.

the closest thing possible would be to make a btb map where its based on the halo 2 campaign level delta halo and have gondolas which you can activate
