Of course Halo 3 should have new vehicles. As for topic creator:

-You're right, it's not Battlefield. That's why it's called Halo.

-Boats are stupid as it is unnecessary. Plain and simple.

-Pelicans and Phantoms are unnecessary. It's like the energy sword. Everyone wanted it in. Then really hate it afterwards. Go figure.

-Longswords-no. Too clumsy, just like Pelicans and Phantoms.

-ATV-So what if it's superfluous? Pelicans, Phantoms, Longswords, and boats are superfluous. The ATV might as well just be in there for fun, even if useless.

Vehicles: There should be new vehicles. New Warthogs, new Covenant attack craft, new Covenant flyers, possibly even Forerunner vehicles, and all that good stuff. That's what'll make it different than the previous games with originality. But, there should be some new vehicles that you see, that attack you, but you can't drive it. Based on Halo CE's principle-it gives you a sense that everything's against you.

The 7th has spoken.

Yeah but in the last paragraph there should be new vehicles but only in campaign. And i recognize everybody wants an ATV for some reason so whatever but having vehicles that cannot be piloted but can attack would be stupid.(Like the airstrikes in Battlefield Modern Combat.)

if you guys want a fu**n boat and pelican and -blam!- so bad i think you are playing the wrong game... you shouldnt put in stupid inputs like that... think about it.... the master chief does his best on the battlefield as an infantry man not in some stupid vehicle like a pelican those vehicles are strictly mid to long range transport vehicles to get spartans and or marines on and off the battlefield a multiplayer map is the battlefield so where the hell are you gonna take them..... the most players that should be supported at any one time is 16 other wise the game starts to lag and everyone getts pissed and quits anyway it would be a waste of time and effort to "pull off a huge map" or a "water map" what the hell are you gonna do in a boat thats one of the stupidest ideas i have heard for Halo 3 im glad none of you retards are gonna be part of the Halo 3 team... i think Halo 2 is so good as it is that there is very little if anything that they could do to improve it maybe a new weapon or two but its not neccesary the only thing im hoping for is some new kick ass maps like Lockout, Ascencion, Sanctuary and well -blam!- pretty much all of them... Halo 2 is such a good game as it is why do you kids insist on messing with it unless its for the better

I doubt Halo 3 will support more than 16 players, Halo is all about balance, and with more that 16 players balance no longer exists.


sorry but thats just not true...

if the teams are even numbers how can you say theres no balance?

Wakka Wakka Wump!
No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

pelicans have engines,once that engine goes,all hell breaks loose with the nose diving and the constant swearing from a pre pupescent teen who thinks ur a crap pilot. honestly 1 rocket to a pelican engine would knock the crap out of it. even though 1 engine is gone u may have some control to try and land it smoothly(well as smoovly as possible). now we could use the phantom from halo2 as the covie transport. by the looks of it, it has 1 engine but is balanced out by 3 plasmatic turrets. as usual 1 roket to the engine and the phantom is grounded but may be a bit smoother cause of their gravity properties.

now the human "banshee". stargate has that sick VTOL jet which they have reverse engineered from the aleins technology so the humans could use a smaller version of a reverse engineered phantom or banshee

Alright, to the very first post:

1a) Halo is not Battlefield. This is correct, however irrelevant it may be.

2a) Pelicans would be stupid, I agree.

3a) No ATV? I think it'd be a rather fun vehicle if balanced correctly etc.

4a) Boats aren't really a Halo thing. That's true. However, adding more vehicles to the group wouldn't be a bad thing. As long as they're not all on the map at once, such as the system Halo 2 currently has.

5a) I think you're just using the word "superflous" to sound smarter than everyone. Hey, if you use a word that no one knows, they can't respond against you, can they? Wrong. Did you ever consider that in making a better game, the game developers would add more vehicles? Silly.

Subject: Solution

I've found the solution to the Pelican problem... Add in the Transport Warthog that was a render for Halo 2. Then there is no need for a Pelican, and it's not big and awkward.

And also, I personnally think a Motorcycle would work better than an ATV. Just have a gun on the front that is as powerful as an SMG, make it as fast as a Ghost, and be able to have someone ride on the back that can shoot in a 360 degree angle, then it would be balanced.

And while we're at it, I think all "shotgun" seats in vehicles should be in First Person, like Halo: Combat Evolved.

I'm out.

I think that the Pelican would just rush the game too much in any map smaller than about 20x Containment.

You see, every pilot of the Pelican is going to be so mad that they can't take it everywhere, you're not going to be happy no matter what.

Classic Rush? I want to play a game that lasts more than 5 minutes long.

I disagree... its a new "Era" now for gaming and I don't see any reason why Bungie couldn't make it balanced. Come on, if Bungie hasn't let us down yet then why start now?!?

  • 07.23.2006 8:07 AM PDT

I go by many names, Shinigami, osiris, thanatos, Ares are but a few. But my name is not important for i am god and i am coming for you.

i am a master of my trade with these two hands i create great works. What is it i do?? ... well lets hope for your sake you never find out.

Like guns?? so do we, join Halo Armory and you can too

i would like there for there to be anew kind of vehicle as you will then have to learn how to use it and incorporate it into strategies. mostly though the thing that would make me happys is if they made the armour on existing vehicles work, things like making the scorpion and wraith immune to small arms fire (come on it is a tank no shoddy staitonary turret that fires bullets or smg's should be able to take down that gaint.) things like that would make me happy :P

also the pelican could be incorporated into the game if they made it so that it still had the 2 machine guns but both needed to bo operated by personel, 1 in the cockpit via screen and the other in the back used by a passenger, no rockets, 3 rocket shots to kill and could only carry say 5 people.

the longsword though couldnt feasibly be put it, its a fighter that is used mainly in space so it would be going sooooo fast it would be past the battlefield and away before it got time to shoot.

well thats my opinion.

Everyone is saying no to a pelican. I say if you havnt tried it, shut your mouth. The pelican is awesome to use, and one with a rear turret would be even better. I played with one from HaloPC and it worked marvelously- carrying teams at a time into enemy territory, or destroying one with a wraith was good fun. Simply make it die in 3-4 rockets and its a well balanced large transport. But its auto turrrets and missiles should be removed. Picking up tanks would be cool, tho...

Vehicles I would like to see in Halo3:
FuelRod equipped Specter
Mongoose
Transport 'Hog

My 3 reasons

Longswords wouldn't be clumsy just hard to see whats in front of you. So make it that it would be first person or just a smaller longsword. It would be a great air support and bomber.

Pelican would be great for dropping of team mates, weapons or vehicles at a base.

Mongoose would be cool I just can't (and I hate to say it) imagine it in a multi player game custom races would be good for it.

Halo 3 will at least support 16 players we all know that, but a map that can hold 32 or 50 players would need new vehicles to keep the action intense, I don't know about anyone else, but I would have the time of my life if I just survived a ambush of enemies with 3-4 of my allies left alive, only to have a enemy pelican drop some more people off close by, or have 2 warthogs and a TroopHog coming down the street with reinforcments. We can't stay in the 16 player, 2-4 vehicles on map age forever, we need to get out there and fight the massive scale battles as well, thats how I feel at least.

I think they had the right idea with two different kinds of warthogs halo2. But they should take it another step in halo3.

Current vehicles:

Warthog: 1. Gauss. 2. Chaing-gun

Scorpion

Spectre

Banshee

Wraith

Ghost

_______

Notice anything? The warthog has two different versions, but nothing else does. I think they should add variations for every vehicle.

Halo3 Vehicles:

Warthog: 1. Gauss 2. Chaing-gun

Scorpion: 1. Shells + mini-gun (2). Shells + mini Gauss

Spectre: 1. Laser turret (2). Plasma (like the plasma turrets in H2) (3) Fuel rod

Banshee: 1. Plasma + boost (2). Plasma + fuel rod

Wraith: 1. Plasma + boost (2). Plasma + mini-plasmas on front

Ghost: 1. Plasma + boost (2). Small, Quick firing Fuel rod

_______

The numbers with parentheses around them are new ideas.


______

As for new vehicles, they should also have those. However, they will not have pelicans or boats. They won't.

1. An ATV was originally going to be in Halo 2, as well as different versions of the warthog.

2. On a large map, like twice the size of Sidewinder or Coagulation, vehicles such as the Pelican and the Phantom would not be "superflous".

3. Halo may not be Battlefield, but it has battlefields.

4. I do agree that boats would be "superflous" though.

5. You like saying "superflous", don't you?
