Something human ground vehicles in Halo have always lacked is cover for its occupents. Could we see a vehicle that atleast has armor to protect us, besides the scorpion? We get to play in a fictional universe set the future and the warthogs lack doors and cover essentially. Perhaps we could see a heavy duty warthog that has doors that attached at the top of the frame, thus giving it butterfly doors. An addition like this could have usefullness in gameplay, it would allow for increased damage to the vehicle. Think of modern day military vehicles the matv, styker.
Personally I’ve always wondered why you take damage from small arms fire while in a wraith or scorpion. This isn’t logically at all since you encase in inches thick of armor. A gameplay change I’d like to see is taking damage only when exposed to the outside. Or while in a warhog someone shoots your tailend and you dont take damage for something that doesn’t hit you.
A health bar for vehicles like in Halo CE could be brought back along with this other changes. Depending on the status of the vehicle, damage may or may not be taken (exposure idea). Small arms like the battle rifle or pistol should be ineffective against heavy vehicles, and only taken out via: rockets, plasma, melee, or other enemy heavy vehicle fire.
