BerserkerEst14 Posted July 5, 2014 At RTX 2014, the Gungoose was revealed. It is essentially a mongoose with weapons attached to it, and it will appear exclusively in Halo 2: Anniversary. The mongoose itself is essentially a transport vehicle. Thoughts on the new variant? I think it looks pretty neat :P 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Toa Axis Posted July 5, 2014 It was gonna be in the original release of the game, but Bungie ended up cutting it. Nice to see them bring it back. As for how it works... we'll see. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
RyanW Posted July 5, 2014 Even if it was something that was in the actual full game it's a cool little thing that's not being forced on us in the base game like things in the past. It's a vehicle that we will see in a couple of maps and it's nice to see things that was cut actually be put into this. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Riddler Posted July 5, 2014 sounds like it will be fun. guess that means the last map is going to be a btb map cuz it doesnt make sense only to have it on 2 maps. Quote Share this post Link to post
Edain Posted July 5, 2014 Pretty cool. Needs a new name though. The Badger sounds pretty cool. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post
natsu Posted July 5, 2014 my only thought was this: stupid gimmick but why can't they follow the traditional and expected and name the vehicle after some sort of creature and not replace 3 letters for another? gungoose sounds soooo out of place. Quote Share this post Link to post
Moa Posted July 5, 2014 my only thought was this: stupid gimmick but why can't they follow the traditional and expected and name the vehicle after some sort of creature and not replace 3 letters for another? gungoose sounds soooo out of place. I feel like it isn't a final name, just placeholder. Quote Share this post Link to post
zZunair Posted July 5, 2014 It will be the only vehicle I will use for h2a 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Calvarok Posted July 6, 2014 I hope it will finally make me not feel guilty about choosing to take a mongoose rather than a warthog or ghost. I prefer vehicles I can fully operate on my own + I like the way it handles. Now I can actually contribute to the fight using it, instead of just outrunning my teammates into an explosion.

Infinity Posted July 6, 2014 I'm all for it. It'll become the UNSC version of the Ghost. Mongoose has always been made of Paper mâché I can never make a flag run in it. I would prefer it be named like the 'Assault Mongoose' kinda like we have Gauss and Rocket Hogs. Gungoose sounds laughable. Quote Share this post Link to post
Near Posted July 6, 2014 I feel like it isn't a final name, just placeholder. I really doubt they would change it after showing it off. It's not a bad name it will grow on you eventually. Quote Share this post Link to post
EagleBurn Posted July 6, 2014 I really doubt they would change it after showing it off. It's not a bad name it will grow on you eventually. It's not the name itself, it's that it breaks the tradition of how Halo vehicles are named. Quote Share this post Link to post
BrutallyDigital Posted July 6, 2014 I'm all for it. I'm just afraid if they bring this thing into the game. This looks absolutely terrifying. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post

publicbussystem Posted July 6, 2014 I rarely use the Mongoose when I'm not playing CTF just because it doesn't serve too much of a function, so I welcome this. Quote Share this post Link to post
ZipCity117 Posted July 6, 2014 Instead of adding a new vehicle, it would be cool if you could attach turrets to a mongoose... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
Sitri Posted July 6, 2014 It probably won't even have a horn. What's the point? 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
2pro4show Posted July 6, 2014 It's not the name itself, it's that it breaks the tradition of how Halo vehicles are named. You mean naming them (UNSC vehicles anyways) after animals? It's more of a modification than a new vehicle, same type of thing as the Rocket Hog compared to the Warthog. They didn't give the Rocket Hog a new name. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
Doju Posted July 6, 2014 It probably won't even have a horn. What's the point? Depends what side of the road its driving on 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
