The Prometheans are the main enemy of Halo now. The Covenant lost the war and now all that remains of them are a small group of ex-Covenant pirate cultists lead by Jul Madama, they are no where near as big as they used to be. The big scale battles in Halo should now be focused on the Prometheans, the real threat to humanity. But it’s hard to have big scale battles (like the two scarabs in Halo 3, but we should take the focus off the covenant as the war ended in Halo 3) when the prometheans themselves don’t have vehicles. I think Halo 5 should feature promethean vehicles, large ones and small ones, that way we can truly go to war with them. It also opens opertunity for online multiplayer, by having new vehicles.
The Prometheans are a new enemy class, they have their own weapons, they have their own enemy types, they are missing their vehicles.
They are a more formidable force than the Covenant, they need vehicles.
…and on a side note, Halo 5 should also bring back dual wielding…
Do things that can fly, walk along walls and teleport really need vehicles?
And I wouldn’t say the Covenant Remnant aren’t a threat as they nearly destroyed Infinity
I just don’t see a reason for Promethian vehicles. They teleport from place to place…
When you brought up the big battle of the two scarabs, Im sure there is still a possibility of giant battles. Based on the teaser trailer (which means very little because it is only a teaser trailer) That large thing Chief sees could be something we battle in a large scale fight without it being a vehicle.
Anyways, I just don’t see the need for it.

That thing in Halo Xbox One’s trailer could have been a Promethean War Sphinx.
If it’s not used as a vehicle (like a scarab) I supposed it could be a bossfight of some sort.

Thing is that humans won the war, and after Halo 3 they advanced their technology and grew (We are the giants now). The Covenant lost the war, and are small in numbers, the brutes are slowly getting massacared by the Elites (the majority, wich are allied with the humans). Jul Madama, that traitor, he went and hired pirate jackals, some grunts, and hunters, along with fellow Elites to forum a rogue cult. They are alot smaller than the original covenant. And their armor looks less fancy than the original covenant. They are very poor, and more terrorists than an actual army. They don’t have the numbers to go to war with humans again, so they fight us by doing “hit and run”.
They are vehicles in human, dog, and quadcopter form.
Well to give this idea some new legs how about long forgotten ancient forerunner vehicles?
It’d be cool but It’d make no sense, they weren’t designed to need them and think about how stupid they would look, they’d have to look like Prometheans so they’re distinctly there vehicles.
Prometheans don’t need vehicles, and any Forerunner vehicle would be overpowered. I mean they tend to blow up like…everything.

Im fine with that as long as its not a vehicle that could be used in multiplayer since I can’t see promethian knights needing a vehicle for transportation.
Wouldnt mind the hover throne becoming a vehicle in both promeathean and and covenant form
For those who say “Prometheans Don’t need vehicles”:
What if the vehicles that went around WERE prometheans or some sort of AI that can be boarded in the campaign and have their AI/CPU ripped out?
They wouldn’t need a pilot as they’d pilot themselves but they could still be like tanks or air crafts.

Then it would die with its CPU and/or de-res and become un-drivable (usability I’m assuming being the entire point of having vehicles). Indeed this would be the only sensible way Prometheans would have “vehicles,” but we could never use them. Might as well just go for some super-light Forerunner vehicles instead.
It would be kind of dumb for Prometheans to make vehicles instead of just specific new troop types (such as a huge one with a giant canon as a stand in for a tank). And even if they’d have vehicles, why in the world would they make them accessible to humans? They likely just have the AI control the machine directly as opposed to having it press buttons and pull levers. So unless real live Prometheans (and not Composed AI) will appear in the game, it doesn’t make any sense.
On top of that, a Promethean vehicle would pretty much HAVE to be overpowered to make sense. These are forerunners we’re talking about, their vehicles probably have shields stronger than those of a UNSC spaceship and weapons that can clear cities in one shot. So it would only really work in Campaign, if at all.
EDIT: I thought you meant the vehicles should be drivable. I definitely agree that Prometheans should have more types, some specialized against vehicular combat.
Even though they may not need them, and it may not make sense canonically, it would be nice to have some new vehicles to play around with.
Someone that doesn’t want forerunner vehicles please tell me how you expect Prometheans to fight on water…
All this “Stay canon” -Yoink- gets annoying. What about multiplayer? That is what we play most anyway. What, so you don’t want promethean or forerunner vehicles? And no covenant either since the war with them is over?
Then we will only have UNSC vehciles which sucks because I liked aliën vehicles. We can add more UNSC vehicles, but only having one type of vehicles is lame…
> Even though they may not need them, and it may not make sense canonically, it would be nice to have some new vehicles to play around with.
Does it really have to be Forerunner to be new and awesome? I think both the UNSC and the Covenant can come up with with great stuff while still making canonical sense. We can have some really cool stuff (even Forerunner-inspired stuff) that aren’t Forerunner and any idea you may have for a Forerunner vehicle will likely fit just as well in a Covenant/UNSC setup. Prove me wrong and I’ll agree.

Well, the Forerunners have a very distinct and unique design to all their weapons, structures, and units so it would be cool to see something like that in a vehicle form. Also, you know how the Forerunners weapons sort of assemble themselves when you pick them up? Imagine that, but with a vehicle. I don’t know too much of the story or canon of Halo asides from what’s in game but I feel the addition of Forerunner vehicles could be an awesome part of the sandbox if implemented correctly. I wouldn’t want to see a clone of an already existing vehicle but just skinned differently. They could really go wild and give us a crazy concept for a vehicle. Maybe one that instead of a boost function, it can teleport. I don’t know, just spitballing ideas.

It’s not really against canon as much as it seems a completely dumb idea for the Prometheans. I also can’t really imagine a Forerunner vehicle that would work outside of the campaign, as it would have to be overpowered in its nature if it’s going to truly fill the role of a Forerunner vehicle.
