I have calculated and compiled [b]a list of the top straight line speeds of every vehicle in Halo 3[/b]. They are measured in squares per second, or [i]sq/s[/i], where 1 square is the width of one of the squares on the grid seen in forge on Sandbox.
I am confident saying all speeds are accurate to within 0.5sq/s. For comparison, a spartan runs at a top speed of 2.5sq/s.
Vehicles with boost have their speeds both with and without using boost.
Banshee (no boost, drifting) - 4.5sq/s
Banshee (no boost, flying) - 7sq/s
Banshee (boost) - 19sq/s
Chopper (no boost) - 7.5sq/s
Chopper (boost) - 9sq/s
Ghost (no boost) - 5sq/s
Ghost (boost) - 9.5sq/s
Hornet - 9.5sq/s
Mongoose - 9sq/s
Prowler - 8sq/s
Scorpion - 5sq/s
Warthog - 9sq/s
Wraith (no boost) - 4.5sq/s
Wraith (boost) - 8.5sq/s
Hope this will be helpful! (somehow :P)
EDIT: Mutoid Log was kind enough to convert these into more familiar units; km/h and mph:
[quote]Banshee (no boost, drifting) - 49km/h, 31 mph
Banshee (no boost, flying) - 77 km/h, 49mph
Banshee (boost) - 209 km/h, 133 mph
Chopper (no boost) - 82 km/h, 52 mph
Chopper (boost) - 99 km/h, 63 mph
Ghost (no boost) - 55 km/h, 35 mph
Ghost (boost) - 104 km/h, 66 mph
Hornet - 104 km/h, 66 mph
Mongoose - 99 km/h, 63 mph
Prowler - 88 km/h, 56 mph
Scorpion - 55 km/h, 35 mph
Warthog - 99 km/h, 63 mph
Wraith (no boost) - 49km/h, 31 mph
Wraith (boost) - 93 km/h, 59 mph[/quote]

Edited by WakelessSea9804: 7/22/2015 11:59:55 AMWhat about pelican (which you fly in the hall 4 campaign) and the vehicle in the halo reach demo (it flys in space) If you can't find a way to get the pelican for measuring of size then you can use the crashed one in halo 3 on the map with all the sand
-
I'm pretty sure the warthog has a higher top speed. It's definitly got a higher speed than the mongoose.
-
Very Nice. Now I am not overly fond of vehicles, but I like to know how fast they move so I know where to target a laser or something.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] iM Nihilistic [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Helbino What? I thought it was faster too... I'll have a race, be back in a few.[/quote] The mongoose accelerate faster, but the top speed is the same as the warthog.[/quote] Sorry to get my nerd on but actually, the mongoose DOES accelerate faster, but if you put it next to a hog, the hog will eventually drive faster. Take it from a goose pro
-
Now you times the speeds by 2 to get the actual speed due to the fact that the spartans have very high reflex speeds the world around them moves slower.

ALL ZE NUMBORS HURT MA BWAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Heart Shaped Box Who cares? Vehicles suck.[/quote] you suck! Incredible job both of you i have always been too lazy to do it myself, but thread saved
-
are you sure that a Ghost without boost moves slower at 35 mph than a chopper with no boost at 52 mph? In the game, the chopper seems to be much slower than the ghost
-
Banshee (boost) - 209 km/h, 133 mph WOW with the inability to use weapons in this mode, BANSHEE IS USELESS lol
-
Are you sure about that? I always thought the hornet was pretty slow, not faster than a Hog surely..... And the Banshee outstrips it every time. :S
-
HSB, you're just a nuissance. And I'm quite confident you do it on purpose. Vehicles don't suck. I do quite well when I decide to use them. Anyway, thanks for the info on the vehicle speeds. That is a fairly useful peice of information to know. Especially when someone challenges you to a race.

I realized the hog was faster a while ago...but i feel like it should be the other way around, this way the hog just has everything on the goose.
-
how is a hornet the same speed as a ghost? I coulda sworn I out ran that hornet when I was playing capture the flag..

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jonathondeane hmmm... I always thought the mongoose was faster than the warthog :\ You learn something new everyday :)[/quote] Mongoose has higher acceleration. Warthog is faster at top speed but a bigger target

Very cool, I was always curious to know which was the fastest land vehicle, and I guess it's a boosting ghost, by a hair! GJ
-
glad you recalculated these since last time.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mutoid Log Good. Now you could have known the width of one square using the pan-cam coordinates... but IIIRC, it's 1 WU. So we get the Warthog speed to be 98.7552 km/h... yeah that's about right. Multiply each speed by 10.9728 - round to 11 - to get the km/h speed. For MPH, multiply by 6.8, or 7.[/quote] @Mutoid Cool, but what is a WU again, I've heard of it regarding pancam...
-
Very nice list--must have taken time to create You seem very intelligent--glad to know it exists in this forum again! Could you please put them into MPH? I'm american, and that's about all i understand, lol

This is over my head. Good job anyway.
