USNC Vehicles
Mongoose
A light vehicle capable of carrying two people, it looks like a miniature version of the Warthog. One drives, and the second stands on the back and can fire whatever weapon they have equipped.
Warthog
A Halo icon, the Warthog is a three person wheeled vehicle. One person drives, while another operates the turret mounted machine gun or cannon on the back. A third person can sit in the passenger seat and fire whatever weapon they have equipped.
A new version of the Warthog makes its first appearance in Halo 3. It removes the weapon turret and puts in more seats. It can carry a total of six people.
Scorpion
UNSC Tank. One person can drive and shoot it at the same time. The main seat drives the tank and fires the main gun. The second seat fires the secondary machine gun. Up to four Marines can sit on the outside and shoot their personal weapons, but they lack any armor protection.
Hornet
A lightweight human aircraft which fills the same role as the Covenant Banshee. It is armed with twin machine guns and missile pods. It is piloted by one player, but two more can ride outside. It is overpowered in multiplayer, but its low armor balances this out. Hijacking and sniping the driver are difficult to do so only attempt to take one out if you have a powerful weapon.
Pelican
Human heavy transports. These are available only in campaign mode, and are not controlled by the player.
Covenant Vehicles
Chopper
New to the Halo series, this is the lightest Covenant vehicle. It holds a single player, who both drives and fires the forward mounted plasma cannons. The cannons are powerful and can push vehicles. By tapping the trigger (fanning) you can increase the rate of fire.
Ghost
A light and fast vehicle that allows one person to drive and shoot at the same time. In addition to its forward mounted twin plasma guns, it can also ram infantry using its boost ability. A common shooting tactic is to drive sideways around a target while firing the plasma guns.
Shade
Also known as turrets. These are stationary objects with dual plasma cannons. They are operated by a single Covenant soldier.
Prowler
A four person ground vehicle, it fills the same role as the Warthog or Spectre. Armed with a plasma turret. It is the basically the covenant's Warthog, although the gun on the Warthog is stronger, and the Prowler is generally faster.
Wraith
Covenant tank, fires its main weapon is indirectly like artillery. It also has close in plasma cannons.
In campaign mode, hijacking a Wraith is usually a good idea. Its armor and firepower can deal with most anything in the game. Before you go to hijack one, be sure to snipe the plasma cannon gunner. Without this gunner you can close in on foot quite easily.
- In the campaign mode there are also Anti Air Wraiths which also fires its shots indirectly but the shots take a longer time to arch. (Note: you cannot hijack these. Normally) To take over an anti-air Wraith, you must get on top of it and bash the hatch off. (You should be able to see the Brute in it.) Then, shoot him until his helmet comes off. Get a weapon that is a one-hit kill with a headshot. (Sniper Rifle, Beam Rifle, Carbine, Battle Rifle) Crouch over the brute until you can't see the "Hold RB to board enemy Wraith" after you do this, hold the right bumper. (if you board the Wraith, get off and try again) When your ready, shoot the Brute in the back of the head and let go of RB. You should now be in the Anti-Air Wraith.
Banshee
A lightweight Covenant aircraft. It is equipped with plasma cannons. In campaign mode it also has a fuel rod gun. Although designed for one person, a second or even third player can stand on the wings. Skilled players can use this to transport Flag carriers across the map. In multiplayer mode it is often used to access sniper positions that are otherwise inaccessible.
Phantom
Covenant heavy transports. These are available only in campaign mode, and are not controlled by the player. They usually drop off Covenant forces and start shooting with underside mounted plasma turret. Not only can you destroy the plasma turrets, you can shoot them down.
