UNSC Air Vehicle: "The Sparrow"

Games Other Halo
1

I kinda thought up a cool idea for a vehicle for halo 4.
“The Sparrow” is a much smaller version of the longsword and built for air to ground combat.

*It’s pretty much a harrier jet built into the halo fiction.
*It’s a single seater like the banshee and can fly double the speed of a non-boosting banshee.
*You can switch between third and first person during flight by pressing down on the D-Pad.
(This should be for every vehicle!)
*It has two flight modes that can by toggled by pressing “B”. One is vertical flight where it just hovers for take off and landing when you’re in a tricky situation. The other is full speed flight. You can take it off with a boasting start like real jets as well.
*It has two firing mode that can be toggled like the banshee using “Y”. One is a high speed machine gun much like the one on the falcon and pelican from Reach. The other is where you can fire two missiles that can lock on to heavy-ground units (wraiths and scorpions)and other air-born vehicles.
*You can to the same tricks as the banshee with “A”.
*It will look like a normal jet but more ridged and has a green/black UNSC paint job.
*It will however have much lighter armour than a falcon/hornet and would require skill to aim it at your target.

If you are still thinking this is the halo wars “sparrowhawk”,
the “Sparrow” would be more speed based and agile through spinning and flipping in the air. It will act more like the modern day jet.

So that’s the Sparrow.
Does anybody like the idea of this?

Or you could have the Shortsword fighter return…

isn’t the sparrow the Hawk from halo wars ?
besides the point I think is a good idea and should be implemented into Halo 4

I really want to see the UNSC using some forerunner ship.

I’m sure there’s already a vehicle from Halo Wars called the “SparrowHawk” or “Hawk” and is similar to what you have just described.

And by the way…YES!

Halo Wars Sparrowhawk.

That is what should appear in future games.

This or the Shortsword would be an amazing Air-vehicle.

Depends on the scenario, I believe the Shortsword is only a low-altitude bomber, so it’d work if you were just blowing the hell out of ground forces. The Sparrowhawk is a close air support vehicle, like the Hornet but better. For aerial combat it would need to be either a Sabre or Longsword, just the Longsword has the plus of being a bomber as well.

UNSC have a new ship already ripped from Forerunner technology called Infinity

We also now from Glasslands that the UNSC has found a whole bunch of new Forerunner vehicals and that im sure will be reversed enginered. And according to Frank O’Conner, Glasslands has some direct involvement with halo 4. I think its safe to say we could defo be seeing some new vehicals and aircraft in halo 4.

There’s also the Broadsword, seen in Halo 5. Then the SparrowHawk, Longsword, and I may be mistaken but isn’t there another called the Vulture?
