Why in the game are only one air vehicle for the three factions?
What vehicle do you mean?
I think the OP means the Phaeton, Banshee, and Wasp.
There’s only one air vehicle for each faction in Multiplayer (not counting variants).
Personally I’d like to see some other vehicles come back, like possibly the Vampire from Halo Wars, along with several other air and ground vehicles that I think would be a blast to drive.
To put it simply, and to give the Doylist answer (thanks to a fellow Waypoint member for the new vocabulary term!), it provides an easy way to balance game play if 343 keeps the multiplayer vehicles to just one air vehicle each. If others like the Falcon were added, you’d need to include a similar vehicle for each faction, which could muddy the sandbox and only be useful on massive BTB maps.
If you think about it, each faction kinda has just one of each type of vehicle for the most part. Well not Prometheans, but Covie and human vehicles mostly have a single counterpart that serves a similar purpose:
- warthog/ghost - scorpion/wraith - wasp/banshee
Idk wish there was more though
