For those who don’t know the shadow was This thing it was a vehicle exclusive to halo 2’s campaign. It’s basically the covonent version of the elephant. Similar to the elephant it would hold small vehicles. the elephant had a mongoose while the shadow held a ghost in the center bit. as far as I know it’s the only time Its ever shown up, I haven’t seen it in any of the books. I would love if we could finally use this in btb along with the elephant. Along with that and I really hope this doesn’t get locked for this , if playable elites returned we could have a ctf map where the red team (humans) had an elephant near their base, and blue team (elites) had shadows near their base, both could be balanced well.
Examples of how they could work in game.
Both would spawn with small vehicles (elephant has a gungoose while shadow has a ghost) - Both of them do have turrets (elephant had 2 so maybe the shadows could be slightly better) - Both of them could be the flag point if there isn’t an official base. (In H3 btb when you played ctf the elephants were where you had to deliver the flag too, the red flag could be on the elephant while the blue flag could be on the shadow.)So what are your guys thoughts on this idea. I know its probably not gonna be in H5 but maybe for H6?
Edit: here’s a couple pics of the elephant in case you don’t know.
I remember I would always try to kill the driver so I could try and drive it myself. Lol until halo custom edition I didn’t think it would be possible to drive one.
I think a shadow would be awsome, but it might be a little small compared to the elephant, maybe a new UNSC vehicle would be cool for this idea.

It’s roughly the same size as an elephant but doesn’t have as much walking room as one.

It was in multiplayer too. This is one of the few things I wasn’t happy with. Why did Bungie remove it in Halo 3? Prowler is ugly.

Maybe they can change it up slightly to balance it against an elephant. But the thing Is, we don’t need to make it a covonent elephant copy, which unfortunately is what Halo 5 given the current trend would be more inclined to do.
Let’s take some risks here get some invasion type gametypes back. This would be a good step for that.

No no, not the specter. Lol
The shadow was a covonent transport in halo 2 campaign.

He though I was talking about the specter? Lol nah I’m talking about the Shadow.
It was always funny when people would try to snipe you out when you were driving the elephant, wasting the sniper ammo. The shadow would probably be fun too. I like the idea.

Since you couldn’t shoot the river out of the elephant and had to walk up to him what would be the shadows equivalent? Driver immune to bullets so you have to board and kick him out?

Lol I don’t have mcc, so I have to use my original Xbox. But I’ve said for years ever since I got halo 2 whenever I looked at the shadow I always said. I wanna drive that thing.
