Template:Vehicle Infobox The S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter,[1] commonly referred to as the Forklift, is a civilian vehicle used by Traxus Heavy Industries.
Design details
As a cargo transport, the S-2 is simple and utilitarian in design. Powered by propane, it is usually for lifting and transporting crates and boxes.[2] Throughout Halo 3, however, it was never seen doing its duty, as its civilian operators had either evacuated or were killed by the Covenant.
Production notes
In Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST, it is a scenery item. It can be found on many levels, both in campaign and multiplayer, and is a Forge object.
Along with other civilian vehicles, the Forklift was made drivable by the player in Halo: Reach. When driven, the Forklift can travel fast enough to splatter a Sangheili General.[3][4][5] But, because it is relatively slow, and coupled with its lack of any kind of defensive capability, makes the vehicle largely useless in gameplay. However, it is extremely explosive and, when positioned properly, can act as a player-placed fusion coil within the campaign - an aspect which can be taken advantage of. The Forklift in Halo: Reach originally had the ability to raise and lower, but it was cut (rather ironically) due to being "crazy and pointless"[4], more specifically, it had a physics glitch that would launch models in a high speed and height.[2]
Trivia
- The S-2 can be only seen in two campaign levels in Halo 3, Crow's Nest and the Storm.
- A drivable Forklift appears in several campaign levels in Halo: Reach.
- It appears in only one Firefight map in Halo: Reach: Courtyard.
- Interestingly, the Forklift in Halo: Reach bears the GUNGNIR symbol.
- Unlike in Halo 3, in Halo: Reach, when the Forklift is destroyed, the explosion it creates is actually powerful enough to kill the player, much like the other vehicles in Halo: Reach.
