As the Battle for Earth raged on [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]], with the full support of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, launched a [[Battle of Installation 05|counter-strike]] against Regret who had jumped to [[Installation 05]]. Ghosts were deployed in the same manner as they were on Installation 04, however with the threat of the UNSC attempting to stop regret the Covenant relied on more aggressive tactics against their enemy, using Ghosts in tight areas in an attempt to stop the advance of SPARTAN-117. Many more Ghosts would be deployed onto the surface of the installation later in the conflict; many of them would be commandeered by the [[Flood]] in the [[quarantine zone]] and more would be used by both Sangheili and Jiralhanae forces during the outbreak of the [[Great Schism]].{{Ref/Reuse|H2}} | As the Battle for Earth raged on [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]], with the full support of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, launched a [[Battle of Installation 05|counter-strike]] against Regret who had jumped to [[Installation 05]].

With the uncovering of the [[Portal at Voi]] the Covenant moved all their troops and armor to [[Battle of Voi|prevent]] the UNSC military from getting close to it. They deployed Ghosts in the remnants of [[Voi]] to dispatch military forces attempting to break through their formation and even again attempted to squeeze Ghosts in to close quarters in hopes of stalling human forces. This task was ultimately accomplished. After the opening of the portal and the arrival at [[Installation 00]] the Covenant deployed all their assets in a last ditch [[Battle of Installation 00|effort]] to stop humanity and activate the remaining Halo installations. Ghosts were used wherever possible to halt the UNSC advance towards the [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]]. The Ghosts failed to accomplish this mission and as a result, marked the end of the Covenant.<ref name="H3">'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> | With the uncovering of the [[Portal at Voi]] the Covenant moved all their troops and armor to [[Battle of Voi|prevent]] the UNSC military from getting close to it.

Numerous changes were made to all vehicles with the release of Halo 2, the Ghost being no exception. All vehicles, Ghost included, can be destroyed with or without a driver, a major change from Combat Evolved. Player/A.I. | Numerous changes were made to all vehicles with the release of Halo 2, the Ghost being no exception. All vehicles, Ghost included, can be destroyed with or without a driver, a major change from Combat Evolved. Player/A.I. health is "tied" to the vehicles, meaning if operated by a high ranking A.I., the Ghost can be troublesome to destroy. With this complete overhaul, a major new feature was added; boarding enemy vehicles. This allows you to either kick out or kill an enemy while simultaneously taking over the vehicle. Enemy A.I. are capable of doing this as well as all players. Instant splatter with all vehicles have been removed; you need significant inertia to splatter an enemy. | ||
*Boarding the Ghost has different animations depending on a few factors; who is boarding the vehicle and where are they boarding at. Spartans and Elites who board the Ghost from the front will hop on the left wing and swing kick the driver out. If boarding from the driver seat, the Spartan or Elite with grab on the seat and punch the driver off the bike. Enemies such as the Flood or Drones will not kick out the driver; instead they will continuously melee until the driver is killed. It's best that you exit said vehicle if being boarded. | *Boarding the Ghost has different animations depending on a few factors; who is boarding the vehicle and where are they boarding at.

*Unlike Halo Reach and ''Halo 4'', the Ghost once again has a secondary exploding animation similar to Halo 2 and Halo 3. However, the vehicle won't bounce around as much and the driver's seat stays attached after said explosion. | *Unlike Halo Reach and ''Halo 4'', the Ghost once again has a secondary exploding animation similar to Halo 2 and Halo 3.

*Interestingly, the airbrake feature seems to be absent from Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer. The nose of the Ghost will not lift upwards unlike every other iteration of the hoverbike. | *Interestingly, the airbrake feature seems to be absent from Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer.
