Ever since Halo 4, the Covenant have been severely lacking in the mid-sized vehicle department. While I would love to see the return of the Revenant from Reach and the Spectre from H2, something completely new would also be a warm welcome.
For those of you who where unaware that the Revenant was originally going to be in Halo 4 But was cut late in development, I’ll direct you to these pictures so you can get an idea as to what it looks like.

Now as you can see, the Revenant in H4 was nothing like the Revenant in Reach. Now while I don’t mind appearance changes, functional changes should not go to this degree on the same vehicle. What made the Revenant in Reach so amazing was the fact that it was a mobile mini Wraith. The H4 version, however, had its plasma mortar replaced with a plasma turret-a gunner position. So, functionally, the H4 Revenant was nearly identical to the Spectre, and almost nothing like the original Revenant! Things like that are not ok in my eyes. If you’re gonna completely change the functionality of a vehicle then change the name too.
Now while the H4 Revenant does have its functionality issues, it looks damn good. It would be a real shame to let that amazing model to go to waste, to hear is my idea for the new vehicle utilizing its model:
I couldn’t really think of a good name for it, and Poltergeist was the only supernatural creature I could think of that hasn’t already been taken, but the name just doesn’t really sit well with me.
Anyway, the vehicle would be a mid-sized assault vehicle that could also carry a passenger. I would photoshop the model changes I would make onto Image 6 but my laptop is -Yoink- right now, so I’ll have to describe them here, and to do so I’ll have to refer you to Image 6.
Notice that large pike on the nose? First thing I would do is cut off the front half of it and concave the newly created flat spot inward. Right there is the barrel of its only weapon: a fuel rod cannon identical to the one on the Banshee. Lastly I would add the appropriate colors and textures to make it look like the fuel rod barrel on the H5 Banshee.
The final major change I would make is the rear section. For this part, I’m gonna refer you to Image 1. Notice that blue/grey table looking thing in the turret position? I would change that to make it look like a seat for the passenger to sit on (the passenger will be facing backwards). The next thing I would do is lower the flood of that area to allow for legroom.
Now this passenger position is very unique in that the passenger has the ability to activate a fully enclosed shield around him to protect him from incoming fire. The drawback of this is that the passenger will be unable to shoot while the shield is activated, and in CTF modes, a flag carrier will be unable to activate the shield while riding in the passenger seat due to the size of the flag.
Well there you have it guys. Here is my new vehicle idea for Halo Infinite. I’m not really a fan of the name Poltergeist so if you have any other name suggestions please comment them. Also please share your thoughts and opinions on this.
Gonna tag these guys because I want this to be seen by the team.
