Description
I once told myself that I would never post any of my "works in progress" yet here I am doing it anyways. I recently discovered the joy of watching other peoples' WIPs improve as time went on and decided that maybe it's ok to post some stuff I'm working on before it is finished.About the concept:
This is the Covenant Poltergeist. If implemented into the Halo series, the vehicle would seat two people including a driver and gunner. The vehicle would function somewhat in the way that a mongoose does in that it's main purpose is quick transportation. However, the Poltergeist can fly like a banshee only it is more maneuverable in the air making it easier to avoid dangerous power weapons.
The driver has no weapon while the gunner can only aim backwards to fire at pursuing enemies as the duo piloting the Poltergeist make their way from place to place.
The gun on the back is a more accurate version of the plasma rifle which deals slightly less damage per shot, but fires faster.
The vehicle itself flies noticeably faster than the banshee and also has a limited boost which can be used an infinite number of times as long as it is given time to recharge.

I had an idea like that, but using the original Ghost form, adding a Concussion rifle mounting point on the back piece attached to a few rails to hold it up, it would've been called the Ghast, since the Concussion rifle shoots burning hot, high accuracy [doesn't arc] blasts [like a fireball spell?].
Your vehicle should have at least 1 frontside gun [1 ghost plasma gun, attached center on it's front], but it's a nice idea.
The back gun should actually be a Focus rifle [halo reach], for it's shape resembles such gun.

Yeah, I like all of your ideas. This thing came about when I was wishing that Halo had a vehicle like the mongoose that could fly. So the purpose was to make a covenant vehicle that could seat two people and only the back person could shoot. Obviously it would need to go through several changes before it was balanced.

I see. [new idea] Why not a Banshee that could seat 4 people? [two in transporting seats (reference Spirit) and 1 on a fuel rod rear-turret]
Design: Banshee + open/close entry ports [3rd has fuel rod turret]
Scale: Imbetween Falcon and Phantom, can fly like Falcon, evade like banshee, and fly around like banshee, but when [lock altitude] used, it won't fly around like the average banshee [see HALO WARS for reference].

It's just a concept of mine, but I'd like it to be in the game.
