Weapon or Vehicle?: Vehicle Name: Longsword (C709 Longsword-Class Interceptor) Creator: Human Type: N/A (You Need a gunship or fighter category) Description: Repeatedly described as a space fighter or interceptor, intended to engage enemy fighters, dropships, and boarding craft in route to their capital-ships, Longswords have also been seen in a variety of roles, making for an extremely versatile craft. It is relatively inexpensive to produce. They are capable of holding their own even against technologically superior fighters used by the Covenant, using missiles and cannons to deal tremendous firepower (without having much in the way of defenses) and with a skilled pilot, may even be superior to the Covenant fighters, and escorting UNSC dropships as they deliver their passengers/various cargoes to planet surfaces or larger ships. They are also used in attack runs against Covenant capital ships, delivering high-yield missiles, Shiva nuclear warheads, or even free-floating Moray space mines, to or near their targets. Sometimes, they are used as bait, such as the case with Captain Wallace. They can also be used in planetary environments by functioning as fighter-bombers, destroying ground targets from the air, and escorting larger capital ships such as Frigates, Halcyon-class Cruisers, or Marathon-class Cruisers in their own assaults. (Optional) Image (Handrawn or Computer Generated are acceptable): Weapon or Vehicle?: Vehicle Name: Albatross Creator: Human Type: N/A (You Need a carrier or dropship category) Description: From its general design and structure, it seems to be a dedicated cargo dropship for vehicles, crates, weapons and raw supplies such as hydrogen for the ground units in the field, rather than possessing any combat capabilities. It appears suited more towards ferrying supplies to a planet's surface once a landing zone has been secured, as vehicles such as the Pelican have a more aggressive nature and can also double as gunships. The Albatross has a large cargo bay. It is capable of transporting multiple vehicles and other heavy weapons at a time. Once it has landed, it lowers three metal ramps holding the bay, allowing its cargo to be unloaded. Both times the Albatross has been seen, it can be used as a makeshift base, indicating that it may also serve as a mobile field command post for the UNSC. (Optional) Image (Handrawn or Computer Generated are acceptable): Weapon or Vehicle?: Vehicle Name: UNSC Frigate Creator: Human Type: N/A (You Need a carrier or dropship category) Description: The UNSC Frigate is a starship classification in the UNSC Navy. Although it significantly lacks the amount of armor, armament, and firepower compared to its larger cousin, the UNSC Destroyer, the Frigate is smaller and thus more maneuverable. It is cheaper to produce, allowing greater numbers to be fielded against the Covenant threat.

Did you really just try to post that RIGHT after I explicitly said that I would NOT add any more categories until other sections were completed? You're really thick, aren't you...
When new ideas replace old ones, are you going to put the old ones somewhere or just leave them on the page where the user posted them?
When new ideas replace old ones, the old idea and there creator are put in the Honorable Mentions section at the bottom of the first post, along with the permalink to that post.
Weapon or Vehicle?: Weapon Name: Spike Assault Rifle Creator: Brute Type: Standard Rifle Description: Fires spikes similar to the Spiker, and has the dual blades on the end as well. Spikes fire faster and go through the air faster than the Spiker, however. Also, cos' I feel like it: Weapon or Vehicle?: Vehicle Name: Basilisk Creator: Brute Type: Juggernaut Description: Low flying serpent-shaped vehicle, about the size of a scarab. Has a front spike cannon, and can be taken down by firing a large explosive (rocket launcher, tank shell, etc.) in between the joints of the different parts of the vehicle. Can also be grounded and walk around because of retractable legs.
Don't worry, I know what your talkin 'bout. A few weeks back, some guy at Microsoft HQ was watching an actual demo of Reach, and decided to snap a few shots with his phone camera. The pictures showed an odd looking BR, a Sparten Laser, and the same "Needler Carbine" that iDieAgaain was talking about. You can look at the pics Here, or you can just Google "Halo: Reach Screenshots".
Cyclops Spoiler Vehicle Creator: Human Type: One-Man Description: UNSC Bipedal Exoskeleton. Can repair units, buildings and vehicles. Attacks by melee. Grackle Spoiler Vehicle Creator: Human Type: One-Man Description: UNSC Motorbike. Equipped with nitrous (Left Trigger) and can fire a dual wield-able weapon (Right trigger).
are there any weapons on the Grackle? and I was thinking about Juggernauts, and I finally settled on what fits the bill for Juggernauts: A Juggernaut would be any large moving vehicle that also acts as a mobile base platform, extreme offensive capabilities optional but preferred. So, this means that the Elephant would be considered the Human Juggernaut. However, I really don't like it, and I'd prefer it if someone could come up with a better Juggernaut than the pathetic Elephant =/
On the grackle? Not really. I'm thinking maybe give it extreme speed, nitrous as a comparison to ghost's boost, otherwise just give players the ability to fire dual-wield weapons from it.
Alright, do me a favor and turn that into the post, I don't wanna take credit from you and I need to permalink it. Just use the form I provided in the first post.
Ok, Done. Added Cyclops too. Advice for people making up vehicles/weapons. Using Sketchup is easy to make good vehicles or artillery weapons. Using Pimp My Gun is very easy to make a realistic weapon design for Humans.
Weapon or Vehicle?: Weapon Name: Bomb Rod Creator: Human Type: Grenade Launcher Description: This weapon sits on the operators shoulder and is held via the rotatable handle. The weapon fires large shells (shown below the gun). These shells at close range can deplete an enemies shield if the target is hit. Otherwise the grenade will bounce and stay still, a few seconds later detonating in a frag 'nade like way. The Bomb Rod has a 4 shot clip but has a very long reload time. To reload this weapon it has a slot (middle of gun) which pops out. The cartridges are then inserted one by one, each time a new cartridge is inserted the slot rotates to reveal an empty slot. Once all slots are filled the slot clicks back in and is ready to fire (if the reloading mechanism is interrupted it is like the shotgun, whatever you have already put in the gun is usable). Also, when a shell is fired the slot pops open, pushes the empty cartridge backwards which then flies out the opening at the back/top of the gun (its that dark grey area at the top of the gun). I actually drew this weapon a few months ago because I was bored. I only found it recently floating around my house.
Juggernaut-Class Armoured Personnel Carrier Spoiler Human "Juggernaut" Vehicle Description: Thrown together extremely quickly, so no textures (except for models off of google warehouse). EXTREMELY HEAVILY ARMED AND DEFENDED. (Except for the driver's glass! Weapon fire goes through it for some odd reason). If your in a mongoose and driving fast, the Juggernaut's cannons move slowly and will miss you, mac cannons disabled in gameplay obviously, and all cannons have EXTREMELY LONG RELOAD. No machine gun turrets, or nothing effective on anything small such as infantry. About the size of a scarab's main body. Armed with 2 heavy dual-quadro Magnetically Accelerated Cannons (Explosive Area of about 2 small flats on top of each other) and 2 heavy mortar turrets. Uses two tank treads, which take 3 or 4 rocket launcher rockets to destroy (although it moves as slow as an elephant, and has half the turning rate). Since I made it in a hurry, it won't be quality. This is the basic design. Maybe someone can improve on it? Combat Knife Spoiler Human "Melee" Weapon Description: Standard Issue, no matter whether you're a marine, Spartan or ODST. It can be thrown, but is inaccurate when thrown. Very dexterous, one third the reload of Energy Sword, and half the damage. MG99 Heavy Turret Spoiler Human "Heavy Turret" Weapon Description: MG99-style (Think MG24 but advance through time) self-supplied (Inf Bullets/No Reload like most turrets) Heavy Turret equipped with self-supplied Grenade Launcher. (Again thrown together quickly.) Use these like "Placeholders" until someone has better ones. Also, I'd like to see a Brute Chainsaw for Heavy CQC.
Congratulations to: -dreaddraco2 for the Human Juggernaut-class "APC" and Human One-man Vehicle "Grackle" -Flameblad3 for the Brute Standard Rifle-class "Spike Assault Rifle" -Crypto nv for the Human Grenade Launcher-class "Bomb Rod" your entries have made the list!
Weapon or Vehicle?: Weapon Name: Qaud Tracer Creator: Covenant Type: Heavy anti-vehicle Description: Similar design to the sentinel beam but the handle is that of the beam rifle (hand goes into the weapon). The front has 4 rods which extend out. These rods all have glowing undersides. The weapon has a 3 second charge time, after which a strong beam shoots out from the weapon. The beam will last for about 5 seconds, or until you let go of the trigger. The weapon acts as a sort of EMP which also adds a little additional damage. This means that Spartans/Elites are hardly affected by the beam. I tried drawing a picture for this weapon but I couldn't get it right. If I get the picture right I might post it up here. Technically that Gauss Turret from ODST as in finding the YouTube- Halo 3: ODST - Mombasa Streets - Finding the Gauss Turret can be counted as a Big Turret for humans.
Congratulations to Crypto nv, yet again. Your Quad Tracer has made it onto the list. As for Flameblad3, your Basilisk almost makes it onto the last for the Brute Juggernaut class, but it doesn't seem like it has enough firepower. I mean, Brutes are known for their vicious weapons, but the only weapon that their biggest vehicle has is a spike cannon on the front? Just add some more weapons worthy of the Brute Juggernaut, then I'll probably add it on.
Ok, here's the updated basilisk. Weapon or Vehicle?: Vehicle Name: Basilisk Creator: Brute Type: Juggernaut Description: Low flying serpent-shaped vehicle, about the size of a scarab. Has a front spike cannon, and can be taken down by firing a large explosive (rocket launcher, tank shell, etc.) in between the joints of the different parts of the vehicle. Can also be grounded and walk around because of retractable legs. Also, in addition to the light front spike cannon, there is also 4 large AA automatic spike turrets on the top of each of the segments. These turrets are prone to quick overheating. The Basilisk is capable of space travel, but only when launched from a carrier in orbit, but only for short periods of time, an hour at most. This better? Weapon or Vehicle?: Weapon Name: Lightning Gun Creator: Human Type: Oddities Description: The lightning gun is similar to the Hammer of porn Dawn from Gears of War, in the fact that it requires an aligned satellite to work, and it can only be used outside. However, the satellite fires a bolt of lightning to the target location instead of a laser. The device that targets the location that the satellite fires at is called the Lightning Gun.
Are we posting fan-made vehicles/weapons/equipment, or canon vehicle/weapons/equipment? If canon is your pick, add the good ol' Spirit dropship from CE. I'll edit this post if I think of other canon things to add to the list. EDIT: Ha, already thought of one. Weapon Name: Hard Sound Rifle Creator: Human Type: I'd call it a Super Weapon, only because it's Insta-kill. Description: The Hard Sound Rifle is a sonic rifle developed by ONI assassins to kill targets quickly, silently, and without a trace. Leaving no entry wounds, it's perfect for any skilled marksman. Now, although it's a sniper-esque weapon, I would call it a super weapon because of its lethality. And yes, it's canon!
