Little is known of the Forerunner tank's intended gameplay, though a few details were discussed in the developer commentary. This level was intended to serve as the proper introduction for the [[Gravemind]] character, and feature the Gravemind's tentacles throughout the mission periodically slamming down at the player and moving behind doors like "racing freight trains". The level was to involve the titular "Forerunner Tank" - a large [[Forerunner]] vehicle (or large [[Sentinel]] variant akin to ''[[Halo 3]]''{{'}}s cut [[Strato-Sentinel]]s) which would have been - as described by Jones - "''... awesome, that blows things up, glows a lot from little windows and moves real fast.''". The geometry for the Forerunner Tank was later reused in the level [[Quarantine Zone]] as the [[Gondola]] which the player rides near the end of the mission. Some of the technology developed for the Gravemind's tentacles was to be later reused in the [[High Charity (level)|High Charity]] level, in which the tentacles would reappear and smash through the windows encountered in the mission.{{Ref/Reuse|Commentary}} | Little is known of the Forerunner tank's intended gameplay, though a few details were discussed in the developer commentary.
