plus it fits in with the sahara desert that we'll like be playing through in the first half of the game.

I can imagine it now. MC has just landed in Africa in the midst of a huge battle after having just narrowly escaping Truth... he heads for a bunker... picks up some gloves from his old armor, since the new armours gloves where destroyed(maybe he clug to the side of the ship and road it into the atmosphere... its get incredibly hot... probably not like this... maybe he got burned fending off a plasma thrower) finds the old AR (it'll be updated for Halo 3, don't worry), grabs the M6D pistol and then spots the Hedgehog in the corner, thinks to himself sweet... if cuts off as he walks towards it and then cuts to him running over some Brutes using the boost and then we get to play...

it probably wont go down like that, but who knows

it would be pretty easy to make a dune buggy considering it has already been made in halo custom edition all they would have to do in enhance the graphics and add a turrent to the back of it also fix the part where whenever you shoot something explodes under you (it was made for a stunt track) but overall i think its a good idea

Anyone have any other ideas for a good human vehicle to add to the game... besides a small aerial vehicle. I was thinking about a large helicopter, almost like a flying warhog. It'd have two mounted turrets in back, one pilot seat and one passanger seat. It could be sleek like a tomahawk heliicopter with side boosters for aerial manuevers (to avoid rockets, etc.)

I think they need to add new boarding options as well, such as being able to jump on a vehicle rather then having to wait for it to try and ram you.

I'd like to point out that a hedgehog is what Sonic is...you know the fast blue Sega frontman. By putting the name in there it would basically give unnessesary tribute to Sonic, and such a tribute is probably something that Microsoft doesn't want to do.

I like the idea. Well researched, well thought out, well said.
A+ *gives little gold star*

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

A Hedgehog, I do not know what that is but it sounds like something from a Sonic game.

Unfamiliar territory has become familiar.

Dude if you can get someone to make a model of this in 3ds max or so on im sold.

You heard me right. Halo 3 should introduce a possible new human vehicle thats smaller, faster, and lighter then the warthog....and its nickname should be the hedgehog (you got a better name, post it).

The Hedgehog would be a one person vehicle approx the size of a Dune Buggy. In fact, its chasis would be based off a dune buggy. This would prevent tipovers (the main problem with the Mongoose ATV) since the base would be much wider.

It would feature a tradition dune buggy cockpit (with side armor rather then open) with two submachine guns mounted above where the driver sits that are controlled by the driver. It'll feature approx the same amount of armor as the ghost/spectre.

it could also be converted into a two person vehicle with a turret mounted in the back.

The gunner would be located facing backwards in a sitting position and in control of a mini gauss cannon, a full size mounted turret, or a new weapon that can turn 180 (so only left and right... can't face fowards). the gunner would have a small shield mounted behind him to protect his head, since that would be the only part of his body above the frame of the vehicle (this shield would be integrated into the vehcile to be aerodynamic). The shield makes up for the fact that the gunner can't turn 360 degrees

For enhanced gameplay/ tactics and fun, it will feature a boost system.. i'd say its NOS, but the warthog runs on hydrogen fuel-cell electric motors, so lets just say its got a flux capacitor (yes, I know, its from back to the future, but capacitors deliver massive bursts of electric charge in a few seconds... alright, lets call it an UltraCapacitor, UltraCap for short) that gains energy from regenrative braking, so you can give it a temprary boost of speed (unlike the shee and ghost which have unlimited boost). The boost will need to be used for jumps on certain campaign missions as well as MP levels, as well as tactics, such as avoiding rockets, and make up for the vehicles small amount of armor.

and for fun, it could be painted electic blue, and turn gold when you collect enough rings and emeralds... jk!

thanks captain obvious. As long as its not blue and needs to collect rings, I don't see the problem. I actually think its pretty ingenius, since people will think of it as a fast, small and tough vehicle. As for supporting Segas frontman, why would Microsoft care... Sonic has been on the xbox for over 3 years now (sonic games from the genesis appeared on windows based PC's almost 10 years ago), and Sonic helps to sell xbox's and Im sure when they release another sonic game for the 360, it'll help microsoft as well.. Sonics not the competiton... plus, lets be realistic, if it wasn't a game and it was real life, and you already haad thewarthog and you designed this vehicle, wouldn't you call it a hedgehog? be honest with yourself... sonic certianly does tribute, hes one of the greatest video games charcacters of all time.

I don't think you could get any smaller, faster, and lighter then the warthog.

ATV ATV ATV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

An ATV would be extremely fun to play with. While it may not seem practical, I would prefer to zip across long maps in one, than walk. Plus, jumping it would be so much fun. I do NOT want human versions of covenant vehicles. I want different vehicles, with different attributes. Not just the same exact thing with an extra seat tacked on.

I want some sort of ariel human vehicle, we all know there is the pelican and longsword, but they are much too big for practical combat. They need something small like a comache helicopter, minus the blades and add some jets? Also, the idea of a boat like scooter that was cut out of HL2 sounds kind dorky, but fun (not to mention fuel efficient! YAY MOPED!)
