Vehicles
Vehicles are used quite a bit in most maps. Free For All/Small maps usually don’t have any vehicles or just one small vehicle. The bigger vehicles show up on bigger maps with more people. The biggest vehicles don’t show up online, but all of these vehicles show up in the campaign.
UNSC Vehicles
Mongoose
The Mongoose is a small two person vehicle. It is used more for getting around than anything. It offers no protection and has no weapons on it. The player on the back can use whatever weapons he has. The player driving can only drive and honk the horn.
Warthog
The Warthog is a medium three person vehicle. There are three versions which appear in the campaign. One is just for transporting people and has no weapons on it. One has a mounted machine gun on it. The third has a mounted Gauss Cannon attached to it. One man has to drive the vehicle and do nothing else. The next person can get in the passenger seat and use whatever weapons he has but doesn’t have a very good field of view. The last person can use the back weapon. The Machine Gun Turret uses the same machine gun turret you can find mounted to surfaces here and there. The Gauss Cannon is harder to find. It is best used against other vehicles since it destroys vehicles the fastest with a semi auto burst of energy that fires around one round a second.
Hornet
The Hornet is an aerial vehicle that can hold three people. The driver can fire two missiles with LT, use a machine gun with RT, use the Left Stick to move around, and use the right stick left and right for view and up and down to gain and lose altitude. The passenger ride on the side and can use their own weapons.
Scorpion
The Scorpion is a Tank that can seat 2 people online and many people in the campaign. One drives the tank and uses the main cannon on it. Another rides in the turret position in the front of the tank and uses the Machine Gun. That player is more exposed than the other player.
Elephant
The elephant is more of a transport vehicle. It can hold tons of players and comes equipped with a Mongoose on board and two detachable Machine Gun Turrets. Only one player can drive it.
Pelican
Pelicans are campaign only flying vehicles. They are for transport only. They can transport troops or other vehicles.
