Do you want the Revenant Back?

I am just curious, I do not mean we cannot have a new vehicle aswell, but it was a cool concept, and I liked it.

I would love if the Revenant came back, maybe a version that has a giant needler turret on the back instead of the plasma mortar. Sort of like a ground version of the Vampire.

I liked the revenant, it was a good fit in the halo universe and I think many people in the halo community were wondering what would happen if you mixed a ghost with a wraith.

A 2-seater where the driver gets the gun? Yes and please. Sign me up. I would love to see it make a comeback… I would say that about most weapons and vehicles from Reach…

Let me ask myself: Do I want the Revenant the return in Halo 5?

Hell the -Yoink- yes I do.

Over the course of the first Halo trilogy, there have been two counterparts to the Warthog: the Spectre and the Prowler. Both of them, at the core, are just reskinned Warthogs. The Spectre is just a Warthog with a boost an extra seat. The Prowler’s only difference from the Warthog is its turret and its extra seat - you can’t even strafe with the damn thing!

However, Halo: Reach introduced the Revenant as the Warthog’s counterpart. It had a completely different function from the Warthog, and you used it in completely different ways. Even better, the Revenant upholds the distinction between vehicles: UNSC vehicles give the firepower to a passenger, and Covenant vehicles give the fun to the driver.

Revenant > Spectre + Prowler

This. No matter how much cooler the spectre looked.

This sums it all up perfectly, I think.

The Revenant was a wonderful vehicle, unique in both look and function compared to other vehicles in the game. It was a blast to use, I’d even go to the extent of calling it my favourite Halo vehicle in the series.

Nobody can deny that Reach had great new weapons and vehicles, it’s a real shame to see that 343i cut almost all of them out for Halo 4…

I loved all of these vehicles, but I don’t believe any of them appeared in matchmaking where you pit them against other players. The Prowler would have been a natural for Sandtrap.

I would just as soon see every vehicle that ever appeared in any Halo game show up in Halo 5.

Can the revenant climb mountains?

Spectre wins! :smiley:

Rocket Revenants?

I like to see the Revenant return.

I would also love to see the Brute Chopper return. That was awesome.

I hope the next Halo includes many of the Halo War vehicles as well. The Locust would be great to see and many others.

Only if they tone the aim assist on the passenger.

And reduce the boost amount to something inbetween the Wraith and the Ghost.

Actually, I wouldn’t be too quick to decrease the boost. With the Revenant, it’s essential to be constantly moving around your targets due to how the vehicle gives its damage.

If you decrease the boost, you erode the hit and run tactic that the Revenant excels at.

Definitely need more vehicles in the new installment, whether we bring back old or issue in new vehicles, Im all for more. I thought the Revenant was fun to use.

And IIRC, Revenant’s boost could take it from almost take it from base to base on Hemorrhage.

None the less, it’s a more durable and more damaging vehicle compared to the Ghost. Ergo it shouldn’t have the same boost length as the Ghost lest you give no reason to pick the Ghost aside from “It’s the only thing that hasn’t been destroyed yet.”

If you reduce the boost levels the Ghost gets the huge boost bar so it can focus almost exclusively on hit and run tactics, since it has crap health, while the Revenant is more standoff-ish, but still hit and run based, thanks to it’s larger health pool.

Revenant(Variants)>Spectre(Variants)>Revenant>Prowler>(Variants)>Spectre>Prowler.

The Revenant was the best. It’s make sense canonically too, looking at Jul’s gear.

I’d like to see the plasma mortar brought up to Gauss cannon power while a Needler turret (get rid of that awful plasma turret) will be the Covenant counter to the standard Warthog turret and a down sized version the AA wraith’s Fuel rods for the rocket equivalent.

Personally, I kind of want to see an entirely new covie vehicle for this game. My problem with the revenant was that in a 1 on 1 with a warthog, the warthog always loses. It just had so much more firepower and maneuverability. Id be happy if they brought back the Prowler :slight_smile:

Not about who wins, rather see both return. :wink:

It wasn’t perfect in Reach, but it was a good addition to the Covie sandbox. It’s a shame it was hardly on any maps.

I’d like to see it return, but with 3 mortar blasts before a brief cool down (Halo CE Rocket Hog) or the needler turret idea from one of the earlier posts. Something to make it less of a “baby Wraith” and more of a monster on its own.

The passenger auto-aim should go though.

Given that it almost made it in the final build of Halo 4 it’s pretty likely it’ll be in the next game. http://www.halopedia.org/images/5/53/H4-Revenant-Cut.jpg
