The ''''' | The '''Type-46 Infantry Support Vehicle''' ('''T46 ISV'''), commonly known as the '''Spectre''', is a [[Covenant]] anti-infantry and transportation vehicle.<ref name="EVG"/> | ||
== | ==Specifications== | ||
===Design details=== | ===Design details=== | ||
Like most Covenant vehicles, the T46 ISV utilizes a pair of [[boosted gravity propulsion drive]]s for locomotion and features a sleek, bulbous design. The driver is seated in a lightly armored station at the front of the vehicle; a hatch provides limited protection to the driver's left and right sides, though the front is almost completely exposed. A single anti-gravity generator is mounted on either side of the vehicle behind the driver. A single-passenger seat is mounted above each anti-gravity generator, allowing two passengers to provide fire support.

This weapon possesses a very high rate of fire, though the bolts often ricochet off targets. The turret can rotate 360 degrees and has a large angle of vertical inclination, allowing it to fire on targets at higher elevation, including low-flying aircraft. | ||
==Operational history== | ==Operational history== | ||
The Spectre was first encountered by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel | The Spectre was first encountered by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel at the [[Battle of Sargasso]] in [[2546]].<ref name="EVG"/> The Spectre was used to fill a role between that of the [[Type-32 Ghost]], a rapid assault vehicle, and that of the [[Type-26 Wraith]], a heavy support tank. The Spectre competed in this regard with the relatively uncommon [[Type-52 Prowler]], which was utilized exclusively by the [[Jiralhanae]], though neither held popular favor; eventually, both were largely supplanted by the [[Type-48 Revenant]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/tech/gallery/revenant/110b15d5-7113-4f55-953e-037f8ef6993a?page=2 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Revenant'']</ref> While the Spectre was used widely during the early stages of the [[Battle of Earth]] and during the [[Battle of Installation 05]], it was entirely replaced by the now mass-produced Prowler in the final weeks of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="EVG"/> | ||
After the war some were used by independent [[Sangheili]] keeps across [[Sanghelios]]. | |||
==Gameplay== | |||
===Advantages=== | |||
The Spectre has a stable firing platform thanks to its flat and heavy design and evenly-placed propulsion drive. Its plasma turret is very accurate and has a high rate of fire, delivering a reasonable amount of damage to its target; it is ideal for taking down Banshees, and can be used with success against infantry. It is capable of carrying a gunner and two passengers in addition to the driver. | |||
== | ===Disadvantages=== | ||
One of many disadvantages of the Spectre is the high vulnerability of its passengers to attacks. While the driver's seat is protected by the vehicle's hull, the passengers are an open target to small arms fire and splash damage from nearby explosions. The gunner must also lead his targets when firing at medium to long range, as there is a noticeable travel time for the plasma projectiles. | |||

*The Spectre first appeared in the [[Pre-Xbox Halo|pre-release version of ''Halo'']], though it was removed from ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. | |||
*If the player presses and holds ''A'' while driving, the air brake will engage. The front end will rise, enabling the player to climb some walls. | *If the player presses and holds ''A'' while driving, the air brake will engage. The front end will rise, enabling the player to climb some walls. | ||
*A glitch occurs when two players in the passenger seats have [[Sentinel Beam]]s. If one player fires their Sentinel Beam, then the other player's Sentinel Beam will appear to fire as well, though this will not drain the second player's battery, and will not increase the damage. If the second player fires their beam, the only effect on the target will be from them.{{citation needed}} | *A glitch occurs when two players in the passenger seats have [[Sentinel Beam]]s.
