When it comes to artillery the Covenant have had a noticeable monopoly. They have had the light artillery Revenant, the medium artillery of the Wraith, and the heavy artillery towers in Halo Reach and Halo 3. Why have we not come across any UNSC artillery in the games?
Even if it is just in the campaign I would love to be able to use the Cobra, even though it technically is just a long range rail gun.
I would also very much enjoy a mortar “turret” that could be used possibly in the multiplayer as well. It would be easy enough to use: a range ramping function similar to gears of war and an explosive radius similar to the Halo CE frag grenades, or possibly slightly larger. This of course would be a fixed turret, no detaching it and hip firing. But it could still lead to some creative forge maps.
Perhaps it is just my love of the Wraith tank that makes me wish for more artillery based weapons/vehicles but I’m curious if there are more people that would share in the thought that this would be an enjoyable addition to the game.
This would be great! It could just be the Rocket Hog turret on the ground that has lobbing rockets.
Thanks for responding. I hadn’t thought of the possibility of the turret using rockets but now that you mention it I think that would be pretty awesome. It would feel much more unique to the human faction if it were to function like that instead of just lobbing explosives like the covies enjoy doing so much.
The lord only knows that answer when it come to halo overall concept and designed, I have too to say if was me making this game I would overlook this very pivotal piece of weaponry.
The UNSC does have artillery.
M-145D Mobile Artillery Assault Platform
440 mm Heavy Artillery
M71 Scythe
M85 Scythe
M95 Lance
M97 Lance
Mark 2488 Onager
Mark 2551 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon
One word. Forky.
But I want a warthog with a flamethrower.

Well yeah of course it does in the lore, I was strictly talking about in game appearances
Im sure there will be many new weapons. Just look at the Hydra launcher
Plasma rhino’s would be kinda cool to see
Do you have idea of the overpowered force a MAC cannon would have on a BTB. People could spawn kill for hours on a base and get multikills out the Yahoo. Not to mention they’d have control of the entire map. That’s like putting an AC-130 on Sandtrap

I hope you know that is not an artillery styled weapon.
Halo: Reach had that one artillery support laser designated target gun. I thought 343 was going to bring it in, and they may yet.
