Vehicles in reach are so weak it is ridiculous. Warthogs need to return to their former glory and be able to mow down a team out in the open. The first thing that needs to be done is reduce DMR damage to vehicles. A few team members with DMR can completely negate a warthog, if the team is decent.
The two things I think they need to do are: 1. Make it so the vehicles aren’t using paper as armor anymore, and 2. Add more power weapons to the maps. If we strengthen the vehicles, then we need more things to combat them.

I agree with more power weapons
I doubt they’re going to get fixed. No one really whined about vehicles.
I started fire on a wraith today with my DMR, within a minute of me and my friend firing the wraith was no more. I agree. Any vehicles in the whole game can be destroyed by a DMR or sniper in a matter of seconds. I would suggest making the DMR and sniper way less powerful against vehicles but not against anything else.

Because there were more pressing matters which have now been adressed.
OT: Agree 100% squared. Give the vehicles a health buff. Or better yet make them use your shields for health like in Halo 3.

I 100% agree with OP and the above^
Take the anti tank sniper rifle out and it will be better.
It takes eight sniper rounds to kill a Wraith. So if neither you nor your team can take out the sniper before he fires eight times, or you can’t get behind cover in that time, you deserve getting blown up in your Wraith.
Yes and 4 shots for a falcon or a banshee it’s ridiculous.

But that’s insane. A sniper shouldn’t be able to do that. That’s taking over the Rocket or Laser.

Do you know how fast you can fire 4 shots? You can take out half the health of a wraith before they can react. That is what is ridiculous.
> Yes and 4 shots for a falcon or a banshee it’s ridiculous.
No, it’s not ridiculous. You people just except to get into a tank or banshee and be on the verge of invulnerability. Vehicles aren’t mobile fortresses, not even the Wraith or Scorpion. That’s not how it works.
I’ve seen more than enough people get into a Wraith or Banshee and throw themselves into the middle of the fray only to get killed because they took on whole teams by themselves as a result of being overly confident and somewhat delusional. And then I’ve seen smart people who did not play in a suicidal Rambo style and racked up kills with their vehicles that it was just a beautiful sight to behold.

Nope, it’s not ridiculous. It’s balanced by the fact that the sniper just traded in two thirds of his total ammo to take out a single vehicle.

TO take out a WRAITH. The WRAITH takes much longer to come back. It also makes it so vehicles have to sit back more which defeats the whole purpose.

I am not talking about going in rambo style. In halo 3 you couldnt go in rambo style. I am talking about vehicles being good, and mostly what I am talking about is the warthog. The warthog needs a serious buff. The snipers should not be good against vehicles.

^ This. Every time I’m able to grab a Banshee or either tank, I inevitably hang back and allow enemies to try and come to me, rather than charging in like a rhino. It’s because with the tanks, being surrounded and quickly killed happens in seconds, and the Banshee is exactly like jetpacking–you’re an immediate target. I think giving the vehicles such weak health ultimately relegates them to a support role, which kind of makes sense in a way. Obviously though, there are those vehicular magicians who can charge in, destroy an entire team, and still drive away with over half their health; and the Warthogs, Ghosts, and Revenants make up for it with speed, but I think it would be worse to strengthen the vehicles. In the hands of a skilled operator, it can make all the difference needed to win a match.
Do you jest? Vehicles need nerfed.
Then again, this may be the anti-vehicle player in me speaking. I’ve never liked vehicle combat (even though it’s a staple in Halo gameplay), I simply like the vehicles for fast transportation.
I can deal with the vehicle combat, but when the Wraith and Banshee are so obviously overpowered, things need to be fixed.

LOLno. He can keep his post here and read t he comments.
