You know what I want? Real weapons. F-22 Raptors that fly too quickly for you to shoot at them, and which already took down all your air units with auto-lock missiles. I want smart bombs that can be dropped from orbit, destroy a base in one hit, and have better accuracy than the MAC.
Or, we could make the scarab base. It's like an elephant, but a scarab. Like an elephant, it has a few turrets, and these are all equal to the normal scarab's main turret. The y ability lets it sit down; this causes instant destruction for whatever it sits on. Instead of infantry, it builds bases (do not have to be on build site). It also has landing pads and a swarm of banshees flying around it at all times. Runs on grunts (they pedal the covenant equivelant of an excercise bike, producing power. Once they get tired, they get tossed into the furnace. Finland proved that this worked by running some of their power plants on dead rabbits).
For the UNSC, we take thirty elephants, weld them all together, and make their seventy turrets each built out of ten spartan lasers that run on a power core in the middle (runs on heat, so people just need to give it a hug to start it up. After that, the lasers do the work). Each turret is manned by two spartans, giving each a total capability of 28 stars. When you shoot a MAC blast at it, it will shoot one back.
Finally, screw vultures. Cut off all their engines and stick them on a Grizzly. Sure, it's still a flying brick, but it's even less realistic. And in Halo Wars, that's all that counts.
