Up to this point Halo has been a pretty amazing game on the ground. It has had very stable maps with infantry with vehicles being involved a little more a more through each iteration of the game. I do feel that vehicles are important for a satisfactory Halo game, and that in this upcoming game vehicles are more an essence than ever before.
In games where there are at least 10 players (objective maybe) there should be a vehicle that can be used that is not over powered and lets you navigate the terrain in one or other way. These vehicles should not be useful for anything other than transportation (like the mongoose).
In big team battle, vehicles were always on the ground it seems, and maybe aerial combat is necessary in keeping things fresh and entertaining. The Banshee and falcon are awesome to play with, but why are we limited to only 1 in each map? I found this to be a problem, maybe the Xbox cannot handle it. Layers are important, and if we add layers into this new game, the scope of each skirmish will seem far grander.
Banshees are overpowered in my opinion, yet if a new vehicle is made that can make sure that flying it is still fun yet it is not overpowered that will be a miracle all on its own, because it’s quite an impressive feat.
First time I played Long Night of Solace, I always hoped that the Sabers would be used in multiplayer. They weren’t, and it did upset me a little. Now that 343 has Microsoft’s Wealth behind them, I cannot justify not seeing an aerial vehicle of similar amazingnees to be present in Halo 4’s big battles.
I want it to fly like a jet though, have missiles much like the warthog with missiles and would love for it to be very manageable in it’s handling. Not so much that it’s over powered though.
Any ideas on aerial combat that you would want to see in Halo 4?
