So a lot of people seem to think the new blocked REQ in the Memories of Reach update is a Falcon. I personally agree.
But some friends and I were talking, and we also agreed that the Falcon, if left in its multiplayer state from Reach (no front-mounted turret, incredibly low armor, slow speed) it will be practically useless against the new Warzone REQs like Ultra Banshees, Phaetons, Lasers, SPNKrs, the Void’s Tear, and Whiplash.
We eventually agreed on a way to balance the Falcon to meet with Warzone’s new standards:
-
Give the Falcon the armor value of every ONI and Ultra vehicle combined, times two, to the eighth power. - Give the Falcon recharging energy shields similar to the Banshee’s. - Replace the side-mounted machine gun with rapid-fire, tracking Nornfang turrets. - Bless the Falcon with EMP immunity and immunity to being locked on to by enemy weaponry. - Give the Falcon cupholders, at least two on each seat. - Give the Pilot and Gunner seats toggle-able seat warmers/coolers. - Present the Falcon’s pilot with Autopilot mode. - Give the Falcon a one-time use special ability which transforms all Covenant and Promethean AI into friendly Mythic Warden AIs. - Install an Active Camo unit on to the Falcon.
Additionally, should there be any special variants of the Falcon (i.e. Corp Falcon), the ONI Falcon should have the following upgrades:
-
Front-mounted SAW turret that fires Kill Balls. - Triple the armor value. - Replace the Nornfang turrets with terrain-piercing Scarab Guns.
Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day.
pls no ban ;-;
Maybe 1 or 2 of those but all would make it way to strong.
Also this is definitely the wrong forum for this.

Too over-powered, plz nerf 343i
The camoed falcon would have to be level 9.

They would have to invent a whole new req level for this… lol
That would be interesting
but I agree on one thing for sure
it would have to be a lot more powerful than the halo reach version if it is going to be a legendary req
Thought this was serious for a second.
Falcon needs the chin gun. Can’t be OP to 343… Look at the Hannibal vehicles, they wreck everything and they added them anyway.
I love Hannibal vehicles. Need Hannibal Falcon
Cupholders would need to be Legendary REQ lol

erm 0_0 i think some of those wouldn’t work
That would still be too under powered.
This is kind of a hilarious idea for an april fools REQ joke that needs REQ 10 to access…
In all honesty though, IF it turns out to be the Falcon, then the question becomes will there be any alternate variants to select from, or will it just be it’s own thing (similar to Phaeton).
If it has alternates to choose from, I could see something like this being the case:
Falcon
Legendary
Req Level 8 Required
Older Generation VTOL aircraft employed by the UNSC, armed with passenger mounted machine gun turrets.
ONI Falcon
Legendary (Mythic)
Req Level 9 Required
ONI’s development on the Falcon project produced an aerial nightmare, armed with enhanced armor, pilot controlled HEDP rounds, and passenger mounted grenade launcher turrets.
Hannibal Falcon
Legendary (Mythic)
Req Level 9 Required
Hannibal Weapons Systems has revolutionized the UNSC’s Falcon project, providing a dangerous variant with increased armor and speed, pilot controlled chaingun turrets, and a passenger mounted Laser weapon system.
Cause you know, we’d all love some Mythic Vehicles too.
Yeah, let’s first wait for newer phaeton variants… the falcon is gonna be the least powerful out of all air vehicles… banshees can barrel roll, phaetons can evade, and falcons can just float in the air with a giant “hit me” sign on it (poor mobility)

this actually seems like it would fit pretty well into the current req pool
Did someone say Pelican?!?!?!
