Hunters have been with the covenant for who knows how long so it's quite possible for them to be in halo wars

Also the spartans you see in this game are probably the mark 1 prototypes since their armor is bulkier (READ the fall of reach book)

And mongooses rock if anything they could be used as an early form of warthog like if you start creating a base then you get 2 mongooses and then as an upgrade you could get the warthog

That makes it the best of both worlds.

No mongooses. They would be useless, I'm sorry.

I agree, they are only any good at taking out vehicles. Plus, they would be way too easy to take out. They would need to be constantly moving in battle, and unless there was a function to do that, like the y ability, then you would have to be controlling them. So, the rest of your army will pretty much fail because your concentrating on controlling the mongoose.

Mark 1 was never used by Spartans, they used ODST armor, then upgraded to Mark 4 which is what they use in Halo Wars.

Hunters were not met until later in the war, but are in probably due to a retcon.

And Mongooses would be useless as Joeber and Spartan said.

No. They are also extremely good at stealth and reconnasiance (sp) missions. And at taking out vehicles. And at transporting sniper teams.

They could always be constantly moving by themselves (when near an enemy) so that you dont have to control them. But you can also move them in general directions. (idk if you get what i mean)

Also a possible idea is the ability to upgrade the warthog to a "fleet" warthog. This would add two mongooses driving aroound with it, toting rocet launchers.

the warthog is better the mongoose

we only saw them in halo 3 was because they were low on supplies

a warthog can carry the same(more actually) amount of peope

can be upgraded to have a rocket launcher

and i dont think a mongoose would stand a chanc against a ghost

1) They serve different purposes.

2) False.

3) So?

4) As can a mongoose.

5) A mongoose with a rocket launcher or splazer rapes ghosts. Dont believe me? Invite me to a game in halo 3, ill bring my buddy and you can get in a ghost, we will get in the mongoose and show you the truth of the matter.

1.true, but on the front lines, might as well paint "taget" on it

2.i meant more so

3. well, if you are going by transportation, the warthog can do the same(and protect its cargo)

4.but it wont have a chain gun on it

5.so, it starts with a rochet launcher?  I would assume if it was in, it would have to be an upgrade.  seeing as how it would just be th one guy driving the goose, the ghost would just tear it apart

1) Thats why you dont use it on the front lines.

2) Whatever.

3) Mongoose would be cheaper, and is much faster, and with the right armament can also protect its cargo.

4) So? It makes up for that in speed. Give me a mongoose with a good driver and a rocket launcher or splazer and i could take out a warthog.

5) Of course it would start with a rocket launcher.. Otherwise what would you use it for? Upgrades could be: Additional mongoose per squad, Faster, option for sniper squads, etc...

mongoose would have no point in being there the recon vehicle is the worthog that can be upgraded with a chain gun turret then a gauss turret and then a rocket dude in shotgun

fine it got a rocket but they wont be homing because the rocket in halo didnt home so the vehicles could just move out the way ok the sparten laser might have a better chance but still would not have a role that would give it a unconditional place in halo wars

sorry but i feel that the goose would be a wast eo time putting into the game ok it fine for fps but in stratagy what advanatges does the goose have that other vehicles cant do better

EDIT: if the goose had a sparten laser on u could with the hig and give thre shotgun a laser instead of a rocket

you can have a mongoose start with a rocket launcher, that would be extremely unfair to the covenant player.

that is true that is why the hog does not start straight off with the turret on the back other wise people would just invest inload of hog straight off and then send them into the enemy base and kill them in a matter of a few minutes at most if they retailiated with something fast enough but the turret was removed to extend the gameplay

Really didnt understand what your trying to say. Proper grammar and spelling next time please.

Also from what i did understand i pretty much already argued against and won many of those points.

But i gotta go to math now. Ill continue this debate later

1. if a mongoose had a splaser then why not give the guy in the side seat a splaser as well thus having the turret and the laser

2. the rocket would not be able to home in because in the original halo the rocket couldnt so it would be difficult to attack a vehicle

3. the mongoose would be a wate of time incorporating into the game because there is no need for it all the roles have been filled with the other vehicles

 

there we go im sure u can read that
