Forunner Vehicle Names

If 343i decides to put forunner vehicles in the next game, i’d think it’d be cool to name them after music terms.

Reason being, Requiem, the forunner planet, is defined as a music piece for honoring someone who has passed on.

Would this be a good idea? If so, does anyone have any cool names they’d like to pitch?

…Pitch is a good one :smiley:

Lets have a ship called treble and a tank called bass cleff. lets have a mongoose type vehicle and call it the half note. kinda sounds stupid. but nice idea tho

Actually, a Requiem is a mass celebrated for the repose of souls.

I believe this is what 343i had in mind when they named the planet Requiem.

“Light cycle” = tron

If you want to go into naming things think about the previous names for the forerunner tech and then consider the patterns for the covenant and human vehicles supernatural and animals. We can assume that forerunner vehicles are likely to take on the names of gods or their respective military diction. Possible names would include those of greek or roman gods mainly involved with war and dealing with the actual use of the vehicle if it follows the halo 4 naming system or simple names such as cruiser dreadnought etc if following the past naming scheme of the sentinels and monitors. However it could be completely different seeing as the names of the covenant which have to do with predators and rank have nothing to do with their respective vehicles.

Name them after ancient warriors. running with Knights and wathcers here, but anyways

Hoplite,Gladiator… actually those are the only two that i see fitting.

I can’t see Prometheans using vehicles (other than ships) to be honest. Maybe something like a scarab. I can see them using larger prometheans though.

I can see them using variants from Greek Gods and Titans. Seeing as how Prometheans are named after Prometheus. I can see them naming a vehicle a Chariot or a Pegasus.

Well there is the War Sphinx (spelling?) and that’s a mythical creature so who knows. I just hope we get to use one of those, it sounds neat

It is also a musical composition setting parts of such a Mass and does go hand in hand with the Composer if you think about it.

Maybe Kraken? It could be some kind of a tank or something.

i totally forgot about that one :smiley:

The War Sphinx would be a tank. Honestly, I can’t think of any Forerunner vehicle that doesn’t seem uncreative or over-powered.

Cyclops maybe? It could be a Mantis-like tank.
