I’ve heard rumors of the wasp swarm that made players rage in warzone. I would love to recreate this, and I love, love, loooovve the wasp. Maybe they could make an update for it for some more units?
Being a very big Wasp fan myself, I for one would absolutely love to see these little stingers show up in HW2. It could be argued that since the SOF is ‘getting up to speed’ with latest tech and hardware, the AV-49 could replace the AV-19 tech in the SOF’s fabrication bays. Wasps would have basically the same effects in-game as the Hornet (chaingun, missiles) but some might argue the Hornet still has the edge because of its wingmen. It wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to modify AV-49s for outriders, though.
Maybe we’ll see them, who knows? Bug the devs!

Wouldn’t make sense,the spirit of fire is away from the rest if the unsc who recently developed the wasp so it wouldn’t make sense
Isabel is an up to date AI that has all the new schematics so it’s not impossible for them to be manufactured on the Spirit of Fire.
If they added them, they should make them light air that can be made in your global base as apposed to air pad.
Although they are similar, hornets are vastly superior to wasps in terms of armour, weapons and ability to carry several marines

Exactly what I was thinking; I just forgot to make note of it.

Tradeoff: armor for speed? Wasps could be eligible for another type of upgrade, since the Hornet gets the Wingmen, Wasp could get something that boosts offensive capabilities in some way…I’m just spitballing here, though. All I know is that the AV-49 is a very popular new unit; it would be nice to see it represented in this game.

Flying units in bases are extremely OP, we’ve seen that with the sentinels. The fact that you can dedicate an extra plot for resources gives an advantage. That’s why it is available to anders only.
I hope 343 sees this thread…
That would be cool of they out the Wasp in. AND the Elephant
Before that happens, maybe the Spirit of Fire’s engineers should design a Nightingale with a troop bay and side turrets. They could call it a “Falcon”. It can carry 1 squad of marines (or 1 squad of any infantry) and be upgraded to have grenade launcher turrets instead.
Just a suggestion. At least let the Nightingale have some upgrades.

I agree with you that anders sentinels are extremely op at the current meta of the game. Even when they patch them they will still be powerful. Now I have q possible solution d theory behind this.
Bases allow you to spawn global infantry and scouts, now for the most parts these units are really only effective early game and to cheaply pad out your armies, eg. Adding some choppers to your marauders to give them some extra damage and also soak up hits. The same can be said for grunts and marines, I personally will use them so that the enemy have more enemies they need to focus on which can make it easier for my counter units to work their magic.
Currently in the game the only leader that can spawn air craft is anders, her protector sentinels. Forgetting about those for a moment, global air units should fill the same roll as the infatry and scouts, early units and padding. If they added wasps for the unsc and some small air units for Covent, not really sure what as they don’t really have a light air that I’m aware of.
Doing this would allow players to succesfully ward off early rushes of global units, without needing certain tiers unlocked prior. It would also give players some different starting strats.
With regards to anders who has that passive, id chmage the protector sentinel to an aggressor sentinel, they would work really well. As for any of you that use them in blitz, they have good damage against hogs and scouts, can be taken down fairly easily against aa or even infantry, and they wouldn’t be able to do a whole lot to vehicles.
the aggressor sentinel would be how I envision wasps to handle. Mainly a reskin with some slight weapons tweaking to gibe it a bit less damage than the sentinels, they are forerunner after all.
what do you guys think

That’s the plan, buddy… Waypoint community spammed it up about wanting Wasp variants, and now we’ve got our sweet ONI and Hannibal stingers.

“I already died once, you gonna let me die again?”
Forge disagrees.
Wasp would be cool I’d also like to see the vampire back so banshee wouldn’t need the are cannon upgrade

Just sayin’ man.
I don’t remember flying around in a Phaeton when I played Halo Reach.
If anyone is to have the Wasp, maybe they could bring in Lasky as a leader. Give him Spartan lVs as a special ultimate unit. Maybe Thorne/Locke could be his hero.
I like the ideas that you guys are giving, but I think that the wasp should be faster than any other UNSC aircraft, and an armed huragok should be the banished’s light air. Give it some needler cannons and a fuel rod beam underside, or something of the sorts.
