I'm sure many of you have heard of the Mongoose ATV that was designed for Halo, but never made it into the game due to balancing and tipping problems. If you havent seen it, go google it.

I was wondering if you guys want something like it to make it into Halo 3?

Personally, I don't think the one designed for the first halo should make it in. Its a bad design for a military vehicle. It leaves your entire body exposed to enemy fire (sure, MC's got body armour and a shield), but the rest of the army doesn't.

I would like to see a redesigned ATV in the game that has some armor, however minor it may be, atleast in the front of the vehicle. Perhaps if the chasis of the vehicle was widened and lowered, and a better suspension included to be more like a dune buggy, it would prevent roll overs as well as opening the vehicle up for the incorporation of some armor on the front of the vehicle. Hell with it, maybe bungie should make a Dune Buggy instead. It would fit in well in the Sahara

As for its guns, I think two small turrets (slower rate of fire then a normal turret) would be just fine. Also, the incoproration of a boost to help with jumps they could include in the game would be sweet. NOS, Nitro, etc... w/e, just make it awesome Bungie.

Aite, let me know what you think.

it might be kinda cool if it was the human equivalent of the banshee. but yeah, it would definitely need to be redesigned.

i was thinkin about something like the atv but with a frame that can independently spin and turn from the wheels so it could kinda have the same functionality of a ghost. i guess more armor would be needed.

Any of you guys played Far Cry?

Thats got ATVs in it, and you can (attempt) to shoot your guns off them.

But they do suck compared to something like a ghost, which could just circle round it and mow it down.

The Humans defiantly need some new vehicles, not just a "warthog with a different turret."

What about a 1/2 person dune buggy... one person drives, controls two machine guns and the other sits in the back and aims a guass cannnon (180 degrees... front and to either side... can't shoot backwards though... or he's facing backwards and can't shoot forwards... that might actually be kinda of cool). It'd be much faster then the warthog with boost, but be very lightly armored to make up for the fact that it is so much weapondry.

I don't know. It was already insanely easy to snipe people out of vehicles in Halo 2.
