The Halo series is known for its exciting firefights. One of the contributing factors behind this mayhem is the many different types of vehicles featured in the franchise over the years. From the powerful Scorpion tank to the agile Banshee, each vehicle found across the series offers players different uses in battle. However, perhaps one of the most recognizable of these vehicles is the Ghost.
A Covenant vehicle introduced in Halo: Combat Evolved, the Ghost has been a mainstay of the series ever since its release. Used to counter UNSC vehicles such as the Warthog and Mongoose, the Covenant vehicle features a set of energy cannons. In addition, these one-man attack crafts boast an impressive gravity propulsion system that allows drivers to reposition during a fight. Seen often in multiplayer matches across the series along with making numerous appearances during campaign missions, it’s no wonder that the Ghost has become iconic. Recently, one fan decided to show off a real-world version of the Covenant vehicle.
In a Reddit post, a user known as dragon-den-cosplay shared a video of drivable Ghost. In the clip, several Halo fans cosplaying as Spartans took turns checking out the vehicle. In addition to featuring a seat for one person, the vehicle was driveable with 3 wheels located underneath the structure. After checking out the Ghost, several of the Spartan cosplayers decided to take it for a spin around a parking lot. One of them even attached a flag to the back of the vehicle, a reference to the popular multiplayer mode Capture the Flag.
The Halo community on Reddit liked this new ride shown off by dragon-den-cosplay. With over 3,300 upvotes, fans enjoyed the attention to detail on display. Using vivid purple paint, the creator managed to copy the iconic look of the vehicle. In addition, the design of the Ghost featured 2 front-facing energy cannons similar to those seen in the games.
Besides this new real-world Ghost created by dragon-den-cosplay, fans recently received another chance to drive a Ghost as part of the Halo Infinite multiplayer preview. During the second weekend of the test event, players had the opportunity to jump into Big Team Battle matches. Along with the Ghost, several other iconic Halo vehicles such as the Scorpion and Warthog were playable during the multiplayer preview as well.
Fortunately for players, they won’t have to wait long to see more of the Ghost as Halo Infinite launches on December 8. It will be interesting to see if this new game in the series brings with it any new vehicle designs that dragon-den-cosplay might attempt to make drivable in the real world.
