It can’t be a Phaeton variant… it can’t be…
Anything BUT a Phaeton variant!
What’s wrong with a Phaeton variant?

It’ll never be used by me, and I’ll never see it used, just like I never see the normal Phaeton itself.

Hahahahahahahaha! Funny joke!
Everything. Don’t call it Memories of Reach and cover it with an ONI symbol then reveal a Phaeton- which isn’t ONI nor in Reach. If they wanted to hype us up and have a Phaeton, they should’ve had a Didact/Warden/Domain/ any kind of Forerunner symbol on it instead.
ONI symbol lead everyone to believe it was a Falcon, as did the “Memories of Reach” title. Instead, 343 gave us a big -Yoink!- you and rubbed salt and bleach in the wounds.
Really? I’ve seen at least one Phaeton out of every five matches recently. And in Turbo I saw one almost every match. Personally I’ll probably have it within a week after the update. I have everything now and I have 66,000 points saved.
Just like how anyone who picks up the Falcon would just get shot down by every weapon in the world

That’s exactly why I’m in a complete state of shock. 343i have to be trolling, right? They can’t cover a Forerunner vehicle up with an ONI symbol, can they? This can’t be happening! (Not that I really cared too much for the Falcon, but it’s still one hell of a gamechanger)

well normal phaeton is mythic and rarely drops. this might get more phaetons in the sky. im lvl 127 and only ever gotten 1 phaeton, which gave me 3-4 kills this might make me believe i can actually finish the commendation.
actually almost only take out reqs to do commendations, loadouts are my favorite to run with.

God forbid they give us a variant of a useful vehicle instead of a rehashed useless one. There’s plenty of stuff from Reach in this update.

343 never said that Falcon would have been added. I expected the Phaeton and i am not disappointed.

Ah yes, like the good old Brute Plasma Rifle and all those weapon skins…

Exactly. If you think you don’t see the Phaeton enough in Warzone, You’ll probably never see a Falcon, because it won’t be able to compete with the rest of the sandbox. It’s slow and doesn’t have any maneuverability.
People would see it as a free triple kill.

I totally understand why this would be frustrating and somewhat agree but maybe they decided the Falcon just wasn’t a good option for warzone. I feel like it’s too weak and slow to be viable against lasers and rockets.

As I’ve said before, I had no interest about it being a Falcon, but I’m just shocked that it’s a Phaeton variant…

5 armor sets and Jorge’s gun. Nothing else, so not “plenty of stuff”.
Falcon wasn’t useless, you were just using it wrong.

Did you play Reach? I did. Falcon was the fastest vehicle in the game with decent side-side maneuverability. If you add the chain gun from campaign, along with the turrets and passenger, it can fit well enough to be at least a level 4 REQ.
People didn’t see it as a free triple kill in Reach because it dominated the skies.

It can survive two rockets, add a chin gun, has good firepower with a half decent teammates, and can fit three idle passengers. It is also the fastest vehicle in the game.
Even if it doesn’t fit well in Warzone, there are a couple other places it can go. Because Halo 5 isn’t just Warzone.

Short version- everything
They used the ONI symbol because it was classified, not because it was UNSC. Simple concept
