The '''Cougar''' was to be a lightweight, fast and highly versatile [[Wikipedia:Armoured fighting vehicle|AFV]] constructed by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. It was designed for, but ultimately cut from ''[[Halo Wars]]''. Although anti-heavy armor fire would blow the Cougar away quite easily, this vehicle was highly effective in holding off enemy armored vehicles until slower armored units could arrive at the battlefield. The Cougar had gained infamy in several urban tactical situations prior to the deployments in the war against the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]].<ref>http://halowars.com/Features.aspx</ref>
 
It appeared as a somewhat standard armored fighting vehicle with two wheels up front and two pairs in the rear. It bore a small mounted turret armed with two auto-cannons, as well as a machine gun or grenade launcher on other concept art. There was a windscreen on its forward body, with two side windows to provide a fairly high amount of visibility for the driver, which would have proved useful.
 
According to [[Ensemble Studios]], the Cougar was cut from the game in favor of other vehicle ideas.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/news/articles/archive/2008/02/14/Halo-Wars-Monthly-Update-02.14.08.aspx</ref> Its shape may have proved the inspiration of the [[SP42 Cobra]], as its role in ''Halo Wars'' was originally an anti-vehicle unit. The Cougar bears a striking resemblance to the World War II armored car, the [[Wikipedia:M8 Greyhound|M8 Greyhound]].
