Vehicle



Vehicles are a very important part in the Halo Universe. There are many different types of vehicles with various different abilities.

Vehicles can have very good advantages over other players, AIs and other vehicles. They can bombard enemy forces or placements, they can destroy enemy forces and overwhelm enemies. Even though vehicles can be powerful, they have some disadvantages. Some can't go in certain areas that troops can. Some can be clearly seen and destroyed by enemy artillery.

In the Halo universe there are 5 different types of vehicles. Each has a different strength, weakness and purposes.

Light Vehicles
Light vehicles are usually used to travel for certain distances along with fighting infantry units. They are agile and usually carry small weapons. They usually carry only one passenger or up to four passengers. Some have light weaponry and armor which means they can be destroyed easily.
