Dab1001/Pitch 2: Electric Boogaloo

The Mongoose is a light human ground vehicle first introduced in Halo 3. It is a small vehicle with no form of armament whatsoever, which can carry one driver and one passenger, and is best used for transporting players around the map or level quickly, rather than as a vehicle for combat.

*Needs better name. General idea is to distinguish between wheeled vehicles and anti-gravity vehicles, since they play and behave differently.
