| | The '''Vehicles''' from the [[Halo universe]], available in campaign and [[multiplayer]] gameplay, are a very important part of the [[Halo Universe]]. Many different types of vehicles exist and are shown and sometimes playable in the ''Halo'' games, each with a different set of abilities and strengths. |
|
| |
|
| The '''vehicles''' from the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]] are transport vehicles usually designed for use in combat situations. Many vehicles exist in the ''Halo'' universe, and some can be used in the ''Halo'' games. Vehicles are a very important part of the gameplay and can be used in both [[Campaign]] and [[Multiplayer]].
| | Vehicles have distinct tactical advantages: |
| | *can be used to bombard enemy forces or placements |
| | *can destroy enemy forces and overwhelm infantry enemies |
| | *provide essential support in skirmishes |
|
| |
|
| Vehicles have distinct tactical advantages. Most vehicles have powerful weapons with unlimited ammunition. Their firepower can be used to damage or destroy enemy forces or placements. Vehicles can also be used to transport troops swiftly and can provide essential support in skirmishes.
| | Even though vehicles are powerful, they also have some disadvantages: |
| | *cannot fit in as tight areas that troops can |
| | *can be clearly seen and destroyed by enemy artillery |
| | *can be hijacked |
| | *some weapons can be effectively used against it |
|
| |
|
| Due to their size, vehicles cannot enter tight areas like buildings, where infantry can enter. Vehicles can be seen and destroyed by enemy artillery or explosive small-arms fire. Since ''Halo 2'', vehicles can also be [[Boarding (gameplay mechanic)|hijacked]], and if the border is successful, they can use the vehicle's weapons against the player.
| | In gameplay, only a small number of very unique vehicles are drivable and controllable, most operating in a similar fashion, allowing driving (navigation) and control of mounted [[Weapons|weaponry]] (attack). Such weapons usually have unlimited ammunition available, whether [[UNSC Weapons|Human]] (bullet-based) or [[Covenant Weapons|Alien]] (plasma-based). |
|
| |
|
| ==Gameplay== | | ==Availability== |
| In gameplay, only a small number of very unique vehicles are controllable and usually operate similarly, allowing driving (navigation) or control of mounted [[Weapons|weaponry]] (attack). Some vehicles allow one to do both simultaneously. The weapons usually have unlimited ammunition available, whether they are [[UNSC Weapons|human]] (ballistic-based) or [[Covenant weapons|Covenant]] (plasma-based).
| | The majority of spacecraft and ground units can be seen in cutscenes, though the player cannot control them. Some large enemy vehicles can be damaged by heavy firepower though. |
|
| |
|
| When the player enters a vehicle by climbing into driving, weapons, or passenger seats, the camera switches from a first-person to a third-person view. This improves peripheral vision, and the bird's eye view makes it easier to drive around, with nearby terrain easily fitting into view. When the player has control of weaponry while being driven around in a vehicle, either hand-held weapons (usable while in passenger seats) or [[Turrets|mounted weapons]] (usable while in turret seats), a stylized aiming reticle is displayed much like when in first-person view, locked to the center of the screen and replacing the typical arrow cursor.
| | UNSC Vehicles are made available in campaign levels, when infiltrating or cutting through enemy-held territory. Either kept unused or waiting for a driver, [[Master Chief]] may enter it without meeting any resistance and take control of it. |
|
| |
|
| The player is allowed to use vehicles from either of the two primary factions, [[UNSC]] or [[Covenant]], often turning the Covenant's usually superior firepower against itself. Playable human vehicles are typically grounded and unable to fly. Almost every playable Covenant vehicle has the capability to overcome gravity to some degree and hover or even fly around. Spacecraft and aircraft can be seen in cutscenes, though the player usually cannot control or affect them.
| | Yet, [[:Category:UNSC Vehicles|UNSC Vehicles]] are rarely available within campaign levels, it is a common practice to kill the driver of [[:Category:Covenant Vehicles|Covenant Vehicles]] in order to hijack them. Vehicles that have been stopped by sheer firepower, destroying or disabling them, cannot be taken control of. |
|
| |
|
| UNSC vehicles are usually named after animals (such as the [[Warthog]] or [[Pelican]]), while Covenant vehicles are mostly named after supernatural beings (such as the [[Ghost]] or [[Phantom]]); except for large land units being named after insects (such as the [[Scarab]] or [[Locust]]). In ''Halo: CE'', only the Ghost and [[Banshee]] can be destroyed.
| | ==Factions== |
| | The player is allowed to use vehicles from either of the two primary races, [[UNSC|Human]] or [[Covenant|Alien]], often turning the Covenant's sometimes superior firepower against itself. UNSC Vehicles are usually named and modeled after African animals, while Covenant Vehicles are mostly named after supernatural beings. |
|
| |
|
| The gameplay mechanics involving vehicles have undergone several changes throughout the ''Halo'' games. For example, in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', a small prod or touch by a vehicle will instantly kill any infantry, including Hunters, whereas starting from ''Halo 2'' the vehicle's speed and mass factor in on the amount of splatter damage. Starting from ''Halo 3'', vehicles take collision damage when hitting other objects based on their mass and speed and can destroy one another by ramming. The driver can also take damage when colliding with other objects, depending on the vehicle.
| | Playable human vehicles are typically grounded and unable to fly. Almost every playable alien vehicle has the capability to defeat gravity, and hover or fly around. |
| | |
| ===Allied===
| |
| [[:Category:UNSC vehicles|UNSC]] and [[:Category:Covenant vehicles|Covenant vehicles]] are made available in Campaign levels (depending on which side the player character is on, UNSC/Covenant), when the player needs to infiltrate or cut through enemy-held territory.
| |
| | |
| Either kept unused, waiting for a driver or allowing the player's character ([[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Thel 'Vadam|The Arbiter]], [[Sangheili|The Elites]], or the [[ODST]]s.) to switch with a friendly unit, the player may enter it without meeting any resistance and take control of it. Alternatively, the player may enter unoccupied mounted turrets.
| |
| | |
| ===Enemy===
| |
| Since UNSC vehicles are rarely available within campaign levels, it is a common practice to kill the driver of Covenant vehicles to hijack them. Although it is relatively easy to kill its driver from afar with careful sniping, the preferred approach is known as "boarding" and consists of:
| |
| | |
| #Boarding an enemy vehicle when near its rear or seating area.
| |
| #Cutting through its defenses by throwing [[frag grenade]]s, [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade#Stickiness|sticking]] {{Pattern|Anskum|plasma grenade}}s/spike grenades onto its armor plating or burning your way through with some fire bomb grenades.
| |
| #Killing the driver by [[melee]] attacks (available with any player character) or more grenades.
| |
| #Jumping down from the now disabled vehicle, which automatically grinds to a halt without its driver.
| |
| #Climbing into its driver seat as usual, since the fallen driver's body would have fallen out of the vehicle.
| |
| | |
| This procedure may also be followed while in multiplayer gameplay to take control of UNSC or Covenant vehicles controlled by members of opposing teams.
| |
| | |
| Vehicles that have been stopped by sheer firepower by destroying or disabling them cannot be taken control of. With certain lighter-armored or not enclosed vehicles such as the Ghost, Warthog, Mongoose, and Banshee, the boarding procedure is simpler. You can board it, throw the driver off, and in most cases, automatically assume control of the vehicle, all in one quick action.
| |
| | |
| ===Multiplayer===
| |
| Certain vehicles can be driven in Multiplayer levels. Vehicles can be very useful in Slayer and Skirmish game types. In [[Capture the Flag]], once the player character has picked up the flag, the character cannot drive a vehicle or take control of its weaponry, though the character may ride in a vehicle driven by another character.

| ==Types== | | ==Types== |
| In the ''Halo'' universe, five different types of vehicles exist. The first four consisting of ground vehicles: [[#Light vehicles|Light]], [[#Medium vehicles|Medium]], [[#Heavy vehicles|Heavy]], and [[#Giant vehicles|Giant]]. The last type consists of all [[#Aerial vehicles|Aerial]] vehicles. Each has different strengths, weaknesses, and purposes, which ultimately help to decide which vehicle to use in which situation. Some vehicles are unusable in the Halo games but can be available for use with the use of modified game content.
| | All vehicles fit into two broad categories, ground and air-based. |

| |
|
| Light vehicles are usually used to travel for short distances along with fighting infantry units. They are agile and are usually equipped with small weaponry types. They usually carry up to four passengers. Some have light weaponry and armor, which means they can be vulnerable to heavy weaponry or leave the passengers and driver badly exposed to small arms fire.

In [[Capture the Flag]], if you take a flag, you can't enter a vehicle unless you ride in one, which is why you should ride in a fast vehicle like the [[mongoose]]. Some vehicles can be added to a certain map if a player doesn't prefer the default vehicles. |
