When I heard that news I was excited that there was ten new weapons which I believe is more then any other halo game, so logically there should be more vehicles added too right? wrong. Here’s the stats on new weapons and vehicles added in per core game.
Weapons
Halo 2:8
Halo 3:6
Reach:6(7 with target locator)
Halo 4:10(new enemy class)
Vehicles
Halo 2:3
Halo 3:4(5 with AA wraith)
Reach:3(4 with saber,not counting civilian vehicles)
Halo 4:2(new enemy class)
As you can see despite a new enemy class halo 4 only adds 2 new vehicles, the lowest of the series. This means that this new enemy class won’t even have the basic vehicle requirements, a speed vehicle(ghost,hog) a tank(wraith,scorpion) and a flyer(banshee,hornet). This is really disappointing in my opinion because it means that not only will we not get the basic needed vehicles for the prometheans but we also won’t get a single new human or covenant vehicle unless there’s only one promethean vehicle. Sorry people who were hoping to fly a pelican or drive a mech or scarab. One of my favorite parts of each new halo game is the vehicles. With this new enemy I was hoping for AT LEAST 3 new vehicles, I expected 5. Disappointing 343,but the games not out yet, add some more vehicles!
I’m sure there’s a story reason why the Prometheans don’t have as many vehicles. And keep in mind, there are lot’s of vehicles in Halo, and many of them are returning. In the long run, it will be almost overwhelming I would imagine.
I don’t care about old ones, all the halo’s add the old ones(well,most of them) I want to see awesome new vehicles. I’d rather only half the old vehicles returned if just two more new vehicles came in.
Yeah, it’s a bit low, but I have a feeling these 2 new vehicles are going to be HUGE. Like something we’ve never seen before. I kind of doubt one will be Covenant, they aren’t the main enemy, they’ll most likely bring some basic ones back for them (Ghost, Banshee, Wraith, maybe a Spectre or Revenant). One will most likely be Human (hopefully not the Mammoth), and another (maybe the same one), which Frankie said is going to be pretty amazing, when he said we wouldn’t be able to operate a Mech.
Hopefully we’ll see something Forerunner… but it will most likely only be one.
i agree i am saddened by the fact that there will be only 2 brand new vehicles but if they play there cards right (restoring older ones) then maybe only 2 are needed but i would have like many forerunner vehicles only to see there technology even MOAR!!!
> the two new vehicles are already revealed , they are the mammoth (new elephant) and that cyclops vehicle seen in the E3 campaign trailer
i don’t think he confirmed that you could drive the cyclops. If those are the 2 new ones then that REALLY SUCKS. I need at least one new promethean vehicle.
> the two new vehicles are already revealed , they are the mammoth (new elephant) and that cyclops vehicle seen in the E3 campaign trailer
Ummmmmmm nope. The Cyclopes mark 2 is not driveble(?). Frankie already said that. I think that would be a little to large for MatchMaking in my opinion. And has it actually been confirmed that it is called the Mammoth and it can be driven by You?
Honestly, maybe the reason we’re only seeing two is that 343 will reveal more in the coming games. Or it could just be we have so many returning vehicles that the need for more is not there.
All in all this doesn’t bother me one bit. They’re more important things for developers to worry about then the number of new vehicles. Tho if it helps we are getting plenty of new weapons for you to enjoy.
While new weapons and vehicles may be fun, I feel like too many make the game feel watered-down. I would much rather have the devs stick to a smaller number of classic weapons and vehicles than spam the game with new crap that has never showed up in the story line before.

if you think about it the reason why there is so much for Halo 2 is because that is where everything started opening up such as xbox live. But they said all the classic vehicles will be returning so can’t wait to see what those are
Perhaps those vehicles aren’t usable? I mean if the burning up thing is widespread, perhaps the Forerunner vehicle disintegrate as well? Come to think of it, what if previous vehicles in the Halo franchise are NOW usable?
The Warthog
Guess (am I spelling this right)
Rocket Hog
Transport Hog
Ghost
Spectre/Prowler (type or both)
Banshee
Falcon
Hornet
Shade Turret
Chopper
Wraith
Scorpion
Revenant
Mongoose
Albatross (thing in Halo 2, spelling it wont I think)
Pelican
Spirit
Phantom
That’s a lot of vehicls.
And a lot of these are confirmed and pretty much sure to be in Halo 4

I was not talking about the cyclops mark 2 on adrift , I was talking about the smaller looking cyclops seen in the campaign trailer.
