Man cannon
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Speculation suggests that the man cannon is at your base or near a spawn point. Lets say its a gigantic map, and all the vehicles are gone. A man cannon can toss you in the middle, where the action is. It's also said that you can attack other players in mid-air, even if they are on the ground. WOW THIS IS INGENIOUS....
