Extreme caution should be taken if you plan on using this vehicle in a low-lying area where enemies can shoot or jump down from above. Such areas leave your vehicle prone to sniping or an opponent coming from above to hijack the turret or driver's seat. | Extreme caution should be taken if you plan on using this vehicle in a low-lying area where enemies can shoot or jump down from above.

The Type-52 Prowler was used extensively in [[2552]] during the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] many Jiralhanae used Prowlers in an unsuccessful attempt to stop [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sangheili]] forces from reaching the Ark's cartographer and citadel. The Prowler was still in use in [[2558]] during the [[Battle of Carrow]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Envoy]]''', ''page 23''</ref> | The Type-52 Prowler was used extensively in [[2552]] during the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]].

The Prowler is a light recon vehicle, much like the [[Warthog]]. It only appears in [[Campaign]] mode on the levels [[The Ark (level)|The Ark]] and [[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]. It has moderate infantry support capabilities, as well as being able to transport four soldiers rapidly across a battlefield. With two Prowlers, an entire team of eight can travel together. A Prowler loaded with a gunner and two riders with heavy weapons is a force to be reckoned with. | The Prowler is a light recon vehicle, much like the [[Warthog]].

*The Prowler does not appear on any ''Halo 3'' map by default, but can be added in [[Forge]] on certain maps. In [[Matchmaking]], the Prowler appears on alternate Sandtrap map variants [[Sand Tarp]] and "Sandtrap Heavy", as well as on the Avalanche variant "Avalanche Heavy". | * The Prowler does not appear on any ''Halo 3'' map by default, but can be added in [[Forge]] on certain maps.

*Prowlers can be very useful in [[CTF]] games, because it can carry four people. The driver could drive to the flag's area possibly splattering a defender or two; the gunner could provide cover fire while the two passengers go in to get the flag. One passenger could cover the flag carrier while they make their way back to the Prowler for a quick getaway. | * Prowlers can be very useful in [[CTF]] games, because it can carry four people.

*Prowlers are an excellent way of splattering if used correctly. The large front end of the Prowler can be used to block enemy fire, giving the driver a clear run at their victim. The large area of the Prowler can also compensate for the slower speed, in that at its top speed it is quite easy for the driver to splatter people and hard for others to avoid | * Prowlers are an excellent way of splattering if used correctly.
