Maybe. halo is alittle too fast-paced for artilery to be a good idea. but if bungie can do it I'm all for it.

How would you aim it. It would be pretty cool if before you fire the artillery, a map of the level with different sections showed up on you screen. you then would choose a section and the artillery would pound it. Just an idea

its a great idea, but i read somewhere from bungie that the games levels(campaign) will span up to 14 miles, but if they can make a multiplay map that big, i am all for it

I have been hoping for destructable maps since Halo 1, good idea Spartan is King. The artillery could completly destroy the enamy bases.

This is not Battlefield 2 Modern Combat, this is Halo 3. I don't know how well this idea would work for a game like Halo...

wat i mean is the Artillery gun is player controlled. The player shoots the gun. The player aims it. The player gets the kill. Oh and it should shoot only once every minute.

Well, I still find it a bad idea but it would sound cool to hear explosions every now and then. It would sound like a war. But no, only if Bungie really knows how to implement this in the game.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Well, that guy got blacklisted, so I'm not sure what he said, but I agree that artillery pieces would be better off in campaign. They have a rediculous range so wouldnt really work in a multiplayer situation. They would be great to set a good military atmosphere in campaign, however, and a sense of 'Hooo boy those Covenant gownna get OWNED!'


Rather oddly enough (this is random info by the way) the Scorpion tank has a configuration much more similair to a Self Propelled Howitzer than a tank, because of the rear mounted turret; MBT's have a centralized turret. So maybe the Scorpion could be fitted with different ammunition types to make it an artillery piece? Or maybe a different configuration. Something like that.
