Here are my (and other peoples’) ideas for vehicles in Halo 5: Guardians:
- UNSC Serpent Drone-It is a UNSC-made VTOL vehicle with 1 pilot. The pilot is able to use the minigun and the vehicle is about as fast as a banshee when it’s boosting. It is able to easily move forward, backward, and side-to-side. - UNSC Hippo-It will look like this. It will be heavily armored but it will be pretty slow (slightly slower than the Scorpion). It is also also durable as the Scorpion. The driver can use the missile-pod launchers, which are located ontop of the vehicle, to lock-on to vehicles (missiles are heat-seeking/laser-guided) and then destroy them. The driver has the option to either charge up the missiles so that he/she can shoot them altogether or to shoot them one by one, just like the Mantis. The Hippo has room for 1 driver and 1 passenger on the inside and 2 passengers on the outside (they can use their guns; limited aiming). The “lids” that cover the seats for the driver and the passenger can each be blown off with a well-placed sniper shot. The passengers on the outside can use their guns while they sit on seats that are slightly built-into the vehicle (only the front of the Spartans will be visible/vulnerable). All 6 missile-pods are as powerful as one Scorpion cannon blast. The pod-carrier thing will turn around at about the same speed as the Scorpion’s cannon. - UNSC Gazelle-It will look like this. The UNSC Gazelle is strictly a troop-transporter. It has 5 seats-1 driver and 4 passengers. 4 seats are inside the actual vehicle and 1 seat is on the back for a player to sit off the back. It is slightly faster than the warthog and it is just as durable but it has no offensive capabilities (no turret, etc.). Passengers can use their guns. - UNSC Eagle-It would look like this. It can carry 1 pilot and 1 co-pilot in the front, and then 8 passengers in the bay area. It isn’t armed with any weapons, it’s slightly thinner but has a larger wingspan than the pelican, it can fly as fast as a falcon, and it is about as strong as a Scorpion tank. - UNSC Merganser-This is a 1 manned aircraft that flies exactly like the banshee. It has similar health to the banshee but instead of having twin plasma cannons, it has a single gauss cannon attached to its belly. The gauss cannon is powerful enough to destroy a Ghost in 1 shot and a Scorpion in 4-5 shots. - UNSC A.P.C. (Armored Personnel Carrier)-A bulky armored vehicle that can hold up to 7 passengers (including the driver and gunner). It doesn’t really have any offensive capabilities, its only weapon being a heavy machinegun turret mounted on the back (to hold off pursuers), so it isn’t really a combat oriented vehicle. However, it is extremely durable (around the strength of a Scorpion), with speed close to that of a warthog, making it the perfect vehicle for rushing out and delivering your troops into battle, so you can ambush and swarm your enemy with sheer numbers. This would be a good vehicle if they decided to increase the match size for BTB (12v12, 16v16, 24v24, 32v32), or if they included some other kind of large-scale game mode. - UNSC Hydra-A medium-size UNSC sea vehicle. It would feature a gunner position on each side, both featuring the standard machinegun turret (maybe there could be a Rocket or Gauss variant as well). It would be very fast, like the speed of a boosting Ghost, and like the Ghost it would be great for rapid assaults, as well as for traveling from place to place. I wouldn’t have super tough armor though, so while it would be super fast and fairly powerful, it wouldn’t be too hard to destroy, functioning like a glass cannon of sorts. It would also have two passenger seats on the back, although they wouldn’t be able to use their weapons for balance reasons (similar to the passenger falcon from Reach). - UNSC Motorcycle-It would look like this. It would be a variant of the Mongoose, but faster and with motorcycle handling/physics. Maybe with a front-mounted machinegun. - UNSC Turtle-This vehicle will move slightly slower than the Scorpion (tank) but it will withstand about 2x more damage than it (the Scorpion). It has no offensive capabilities; therefore, it’s purpose is to transport troops onto the battlefield. It can carry 1 driver and 7 passengers. It is slightly shorter than the Scorpion but slightly longer. The width of both vehicles are about the same. - UNSC Bee-This is an aircraft that will move like the banshee. It moves at about the same speed as a Banshee (between the speed of it boosting and not boosting) and it is about the same size. It can only carry 1 pilot (no passengers) and it has two turbofan engines mounted on gimbals at the ends of it like the Hornet but the Bee’s engines/wings start towards the front of the vehicle and they go back and slightly angle outwards. At the back of the vehicle, it has a short “tail” that curves down and towards the front of the vehicle with a gauss cannon attached to it. It doesn’t have any maneuver abilities like the Banshee (no barrel-rolling, etc.) and it can’t boost but it is about 2x more durable than the Banshee. - UNSC Dragon-It would basically be a falcon but instead of turrets, it would have flamethrowers; 1 flamethrower on each side (2) and 1 more powerful flamethrower on the nose of the aircraft. It would be great for fighting the Flood and it would look awesome. The side flamethrowers’ range would be about 6-8 ft and the nose-mounted flamethrower’s range would be about 10-14 ft.(I do realize that there is another post similar to this one that I recently revived.)
Feel free to add more vehicles suggestions/ideas for H5:G
