They should keep the Gause and have a warthog with a rocket turret on the back

i think there should be a kind of futureistic helicopter like the bangee it could be used in multiplay this would be the equivilent to the bangee.

I really, really want dropships in halo 3.

Hey, they worked well in Custom Edition.

Rocket hog would be too powerful.

A helicopter's rotor would be too distracting.

Dropships would totally change gameplay.


So I don't see any of these things happening, though I like the idea of more options. The popular suggestion of the 4 wheeler, though without a weapon I don't much see why you'd want to use it.

I think I'd most like to see them improve the vehicles we have, the way they did between halo CE and halo 2. Better control, better physics, more balance between covie and human.

they should definately bring back the dropship in halo 3, i loved shooting the covies before they even got out of the ship. Even if the new AI means they can do something about that it would still be cool

Oh no not the same all over again. I really want to see more vehicles, and to be able to actually drive 'em. The 4-wheeler or quad would be nice to have to balance Covenant and Humans though. A Ghost counterpart, swifter and more agile than the ghost but without a weapon on it. So you'll have to use the hand-held weapons you normally carry, exept maybe rocket launchers since they require 2 hands to use them. But it would still be outrun by a ghost using boost.

But what I really missed in H2 was, indeed, a human flying vehicle. It doesn't have to have a rotor, humans have already mixed their technology with Covenants (Mjolnir battle armour) So the human flying vehicle could have Covenant anti-gravity technology, and a turbofan at the back preferably.

Drop ships would be nice to have as well but I fear they are to big and take up too much processing ability to have any chance of making the game.

If the MP matches and maps are big enough, then I suppose dropships would be plausible, either the Pelican or Phantom.

We don't need a human flying vehicle, but if they must, it should basically just be a smaller Pelican, using vector thrust to move. Blades just don't make sense against the Covenant plasma weapons, and they wouldn't be usable in space anyway, so why bother?

Something swifter and more agile than the Ghost, but using wheels? That makes no sense. And without weapons, why would I want this over the Ghost? It's plenty fast enough while boosting.

My only wish for vehicles is that if they put a vehicle in the game, I want to be able to pilot it. Unless it's a capital ship, of course. Oh, and making the physics more realistic would be awesome, too.

I like the idea of a human vector thrust personal vehicle, because as of yet they really haven't shown any fighter jet type craft at all. The longswords are the closest I can recall and they're anything but a fighter.

What about a variable weapon selection for the Specter?

The Longsword is the human fighter, like the Seraph for the Covenant. At least, to my knowledge. It certainly isn't the equivalent of the Banshee. I just don't think a human Banshee is needed, especially if the game were to support player piloted Pelicans.

What do you want on the Spectre? I agree that the gun on it sucks, but I don't know with what to replace it.

Hmmm, I'd take a plasma cannon at this point, but what about a fuel rod cannon? Or would that be too powerful? What about something along the lines of a sentinel beam type weapon? That has a steady stream of energy instead of a rapidly repeating beam of easily reflected energy? A very toned down version of the wraiths cannon? Say with about the damage of a gauss hog but with the arc and explosion we're used to from the wraith? Hey I'm throwing out anything here. Bungie could just come up with something entirely original as well, who saw the guass hog coming?

The fuel rod gun could work, but it would have to fire slower than the Gauss cannon, as it's an area weapon. When I read beam type weapon, I thought Hunter. How about something along those lines? I guess the animation may be draining, but they could tone it down. I don't think I like the idea of artillery on a light vehicle.

I'm pretty sure this would never be in Halo 3 or for that matter any Halo, but I would like some type of a compact helicopter that would be to some exctent "arcade like" so it doesnt move like a real helicopter but gets around fast enough to be a challenge for the banshee and it should be able to fit 3 people, A drvier, and 2 gunners, (that beingsaid it should also have to turrets like the wart hog on each side.)

Wait, you want a helicopter for 3 people with machine guns on both sides? I don't think that's feasible at all. One rocket would take it out. A vector thrust vehicle would be more plausible, although I think that overarming it is a bad idea.

Yes Conan9845, your right but I think they should still put that and many other vehicles in at least for custom games that could turn into a fun game. Its coag and all u have it 2 helicopter and 4 atv's and your flying threw the air and your pilot gets shot by a sniper and u start spinning down wards and then crash on top of your team mate that was flying across a ditch in the atv. : ) yea I know not to Halo like but still it would be fun for custom games. Not just the helicopter but they should ad alot of different vehicles and weapons just for customs.

Well, if there's any common ground here, it's that I wholeheartedly agree that they should have so many options in MP that I want to throw up at the prospect of making a match.

some kind of hovercraft would b cool with driver seat, gunner seat and passenger seat.
or some kind of helicopter.
i rekon u should be able to earn airstrikes and call them in, but not sure how to earn them.
AIRSTRIKES RULE!

I believe they did have some type of an airstrike that was never completly put into Halo 2 (correct me if im wrong) but I remeber seeing a video on the internet where they had found it on the disk but used the Bomb for the skin of the detonator and where ever you would aim it it would shoot a giant fire ball from out the sky and would obliterate every thing where it hit.

What exactly would make the hovercraft different from the specter?

Why would you want a helicopter when most of the important battles of this war take place in outerspace where a helicopter would be useless?

Airstrikes... um... besides the point that this would be completely anti-halo. I'll point out that in the campaign they'd be impossible considering the terrible position the humans fleet always seems to be in. In multiplayer... well besides still not making any sense, it would take the focus away from the meat of halo mp. Killing people.

Airstrikes aren't very Halo, in my opinion.

If they are going to have water, then they should have a hovercraft that is the size of the Warthog.

I like the sniper line in your sig, by the way.

Why not make it the size of the scorpion? Give it a couple of naval cannons and a flak cannon, give it some vector thrust hover instead of a ineffective air skirt.

I don't think it would have an airskirt anyway. But if it's vector thrust, and armed in that manner, they might as well make the Pelican. It's not that much larger than the Scorpion.

I really hope the ATV makes it in this one. I dont even care if it has a weapon mounted on it. All it needs is to seat 2 people, the passanger would be able to shoot there weapons off while the other drive make it well armored and or fast.(or mount 2 upgraded smg's on the front.)

Ooooh, why don't they just put a cannon on the dropship?

Why not just use the Warthog?

If they have the Pelican, they can put a gun on the front. It can be controlled by a passenger.

true the warthog is actually just as good if not better. Never really thought of it that way, its just always been wow i want to drive the ATV but I really have been just driving something similar. But also I always thought of a smaller human vehicle that was fast would be cool. Just for kicks.
