The Warthog jeep is a troop transport that can cary a driver, a
passenger, and a gunner. There are two models actively used in the
Halo games, the gauss warthog and the chain gun warthog. The gauss
warthog launches high speed explosive projectiles that are awesome
against vehicles, and will instantly kill an elite or another spartan
in multi player, if you can score the hit. The chain gun warthog
is exactly the same in design, except for its gun sprays hundreds
of rounds a minuet out of its three rotating barrels. The chain
gun hog is better at taking out small groups of enemies.

The
Scorpion tank is.....well.... a tank. When you get inside, you take
less damage, and have a massive main gun that will blow anything in
its detonation radius away. The tank is also equipped with a chain
gun that can be fired at the same time as the main gun, and both have
infinite ammo, so why fire only one at a time? Watch out for borders
though, or you'll end up being meleed to death in your seat! |
The
ghost is the standard covenant light assault vehicle. Only one person
can ride in it, but it is very fast. It has two main plasma cannons,
as well as a boost function (pull the left trigger) which speeds the
ghost up. Boost is great for getting around fast, or for just running
helpless victims into the ground. If your fighting against ghosts
while on foot, always aim for the gas tank. The gas tank is a football
sized circle that sticks out of the ghost, just below the left wing.
Shoot it a few times with a battle rifle, or once with a sniper to
rip it open, instantly blowing the ghost to pieces. |
The
Wraith tank works similarly to the Scorpion, except it has no secondary
weapon (it has a boost function instead, just like the ghost) and
its shots fire like a mortar, going up and falling down on your enemies,
rather than firing in a strait line. Get behind a hill and rain fire
down on your opponents, its safe, and fun for the whole family! |
The
Banshee is the only flying vehicle available to players. Its weapons
are the same as the ghost, as is the boost. Besides being able to
fly, the banshees extras include the Banshee bomb (only available
in campaign) and Ariel tricks. By holding down A and pressing a
directional button, the banshee will roll or flip in that direction.
This is great for dodging rockets, or for getting a new angle on
an enemy.
A+Left :: Roll
A+Right :: Roll
A+Down :: Back flip |
Specters
are the Covenant form of the Warthog, with a rear gun, a driver, and
two passenger seats. The specter gun probably looks the coolest of
all the vehicles, throwing rapid streams of plasma everywhere. The
specter has a boost function, and if you hold back and A, and then
boost, you will pop a wheelie! this is useless, but it looks pretty
cool. |
