The new ghost is gonna own badly!

Man, it shoots so much faster now and the fact that it has the boost feature just makes it a killing machine!

I dunno how balanced it will be compared to the other vehicles, it seems like it will blow the other vehicles out of the water. I don't think that even adding the launcher to the back of the warthog evens it out with the ghost now.

Perhaps the new vehicle may be able to complete with it, or the banshee since it has a boost feature as well?

Who else thinks that the ghost will be the prominent vehicle in Halo 2?

Note: I definately do not have a problem with the ghost being this powerful, seeing as how the ghost is my fav. vehicle in the original.

What ya'll think?

The boosting is to balance out the new boarding technique. It shoots faster, but does less damage. So better yes, overpowered, no.

ahhhh I turned out to be kinda a cheap type vehical in the original Halo's and got pretty easy to take out, I suspect it will be much the same in Halo 2 you'll get used to destroying them, Also you can jack them too that should help balance it quite a bit. Not to mention Im betting since it shoots faster its a lot weaker too.

How can you be sure it deals less damage?

  • 05.20.2004 6:39 PM PDT

Yes, the ghost will be much quicker than the warthog and tank, but will go much faster. I think its safe to say the same for the Banshee (I'm sure it will be even weaker armor-wise, but faster).

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Ya, and two things balace it: The tracking rockets W/ it having less health and not being able to drive it (or anything) with the flag

Note that while the weapons may fire twice as fast each individual bolt may do less damage then before. Scary though... the battle rifle chewed up that ghost pretty quickly. Also, you're much more exposed then you are on a warthog or other vehicle so you'll be taking more hits to your own body while the guy's in the Warthog have the benefit of the cover it provides.

It will probably all balance out.

yea but i believe that with the boost, you will be able to shake the rockets.

p.s. there is no proof that it will do less damage, although, it would make sense for balancing reasons.

Ttue, but you still can't drive with the flag, which in my personal opinion sucks.
PS Is there any vehicle you CAN drive with the flag? If you can't drive the ATV with the flag it will probably be kind of useless.

It also seems to be very easilly destroyed in the demo..

'Tis a stupid question, but will the Scorpion Tank have a speed boost or upgrade? (that is, IF they take out that outdated hunk of copper and put in a more suitable vehicle...)

Speed Boost for the tank.....I say NO. How would you like a tank coming your way with a huge gun blastin' away and going 5000 miles an hour? :)

What I'd like to do is use the Ghost as a projectile bomb. Gun the engine, fly straight at another vehicle and jam the accelerator before jumping out and tumbling in the dirt.

One of the reviewers claimed that vehicles colliding with walls or other vehicles are damaged. So... I wouldn't mind ramming a tank with the Ghost!

i dunno about this not being able to drive with the flag, so say more about that. can you ride gunner seat in a hog? and i guess you could ride passenger seat, right?

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

My guess for the flag is that Bungie has decided that it should be visible at all times. No more hiding the flag in the warthog. So my guess is that you can only be in passenger seats of vehicles and on the ATV they may have a flag holder so that you could drive the ATV while still displaying the flag.
