It's the Moongoose! Bungie's new super lightweight ATV-like vehicle that will debut in Halo 3. It seats two and will leave any other vechical in the dust. High speed combined with it's low weight allow this thing to fly--literally.
Bungie has a detailed profile of the new vehicle, complete with remarks from real USMC soldiers! Hit the jump to hear from them.
(The M274) is pretty nimble for its size; add to that the fact that it can do ninety plus kilo papa hotel over uneven terrain and you’ve got the ultimate commando hot rod.
Note for those using Ye Olde Standard System: 90 Kilometers/Hour = 55.925 Miles/Hour.
The M274 doesn’t have a radio of its own, isn’t equipped with GPS, it doesn’t even have any gauges. The only piece of equipment more primitive is the crate it ships in.
No it doesn't have any weapons unfortunately, so it's not exactly stacked to match the Covenant Ghost in battle. But maybe what it lacks in weapons, it makes up in speed.
Some fellas piss and moan about the M274’s lack of offensive capability, but it’s not meant to be an AFV! Still; with a brave fella riding pillion you should be able to put out enough disencouragement to break contact with all but the most bloodthirsty bravo kilo.

this will be sick as hell. I loved the halo 2 ghost, so this will be great, hope they have plenty of big levels to use this on.
