Halo 4 vehicle idea

Yesterday I was really bored so I decided to make a vehicle for this mini Halo figure that I had purchased; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmSg_KTreW0 Anyhow, it gave me an idea for a vehicle for Halo 4.

The gist of my idea is for an autonomous vehicle that would usher players around the map. But let me explain.

Think of the map Valhalla in Halo 3. At each base, there were Mongooses. Now imagine that when you got into a Mongoose, a little menu popped up onto your screen kind of like the loadout menu in Reach. But in this case, instead of giving you options for different weapons it gave you options for different locations on the map.

First options it would give you is “Manual” and “Auto-pilot”. If you choose manual, then you drive the Mongoose as normal. If you choose Auto-pilot, it takes you to the next menu that has like 5 options: “Top mid”, “Turret”, “Pelican”, “Opposing base” and “Roam map”.

Now, whichever option you choose, the Mongoose will drive you to that general location. If you choose ‘roam map’, it will drive you around the whole map until you get killed or get off. The beauty of it would be that you are not driving the vehicle your self, but rather it would be computer controlled (auto-piloted). So because of that, you would be able to utilize your weapon, even if you are on the vehicle alone.

This would be the first vehicle in Halo multiplayer that would drive itself, and in which you could use your weapon even though you occupy the vehicle alone, because you don’t have to pilot the vehicle your self.

So anyways, tell me what you guys think, and also, what do you guys think the vehicle should be called? I was thinking Autonomously Operated Vehicle (AOV), but I’m open to ideas or suggestions.

Not a bad idea but I don’t think Autopilot would work in the game. Interesting idea, it would lead to many adventures on my part until it kills me or I destroy it.

Funny idea :smiley:

i don’t know about matchmaking but think of all the possibilities for custom games, if you could plot a course for an auto pilot. i can already imagine some crazy stuff i could make with that.

and the video was hilarious.

Well actually, the technology and ability to do this has already been implemented into Halo, just on the Campaign though. You know how in Campaign the other computer controlled soldiers can drive you around in the warthog (and they can even operate the turret)? Anyhow, that’s it. That’s the technology right there.

Basically what I’m saying is that there is already auto-piloted vehicles in Halo, I would just like to see it implemented into multiplayer. The only slight difference would be that instead of how it is in Campaign where you just get into the vehicle and the computer drives you where it pleases, with my idea you would be given options to where on the map you’d like to be driven.

You’re right It is in the game already, just more moderate than what I had in mind.

I was talking about the roaming around feature. Roaming around randomly, all the fun/horror I would have, going into the water, falling off high places, and getting stuck.
It all sounds so terrifyingly good.
