Might be kind of a stretch, but green skull pointed out in his most recent video that it sounds like a fire vehicle was teased in this months infinite blog.
“Although, we are working on a new vehicle that is looking pretty hot. This new vehicle will sit nicely between the Warthog and the Scorpion in terms of power level so it should ignite some new discussions on what vehicle to take to a mission. We just got our initial concept which really lit a fire under the team to get it into flighting, so stay tuned!”
If his assumption is correct, this would bring an entirely new dynamic to vehicle combat to infinite!

Maybe a stab in the dark, maybe not. I guess we’ll see it soon!
With their new focus on damage types I could see that happening. There will be an electric grenade, why not fire as well? And in a vehicle? That would be very interesting.
Looking for BTB 2.0 it could be a kind of more specialized vehicle like the Cobra or Wolverine
I’m assuming it will be like a revenant style vehicle with either a firebomb or a flamethrower, hell maybe both.
Are we thinking about some Spirit of Fire tie-in?
Kinsano, anyone?

Yeah the ‘between Warthog and Scorpion’ is what has me intrigued. Warthog is at its best vs Infantry and at medium-short range, Scorpion is at its best at longer ranges and against vehicles.
I’m not entirely sure if the ‘flame’ thing fits here though. I could certainly see that for a Banished vehicle in that point between ghost and wraith, but for UNSC it seems a little out of kilter (although obviously Kinsano does establish precedent).
A flame vehicle would be very weak against long-range fire - it would be a very-role specific vehicle.
Fitting between a Warthog and Scorpion for me would be either an UNSC-type Brute Prowler-style vehicle with a grenade launcher (still requires 2 crew for high DPS) or something like a single-crew scout vehicle - either a slower Cyclops type with a heavy machine gun (e.g. Halo 5’s ONI-turret with explosive rounds) but a glass cannon or a faster wheeled vehicle
flamethrower warthog confirmed?
