A/N: Right, so this is my first crossover and after reading SO MANY, I wanted to contribute to the community. So for those Authors who I have given reviews for when the next chapter is out, prepare your keyboards because my motivation sucks! If you play Call of Duty or Battlefield 4, You MIGHT RECOGNISE a Gadget for the Ground Vehicles. HINT: They're the same thing in both games, but with a different name! J NOTE: HEAVY AU and false PMC Restrictions because I really don't know what PMC can have and what it can't have. So there will be ghost laws that don't actually exist. This chapter will detail GROUND VEHICLES First and subsequent chapters will either be Naval or Aerial. Depends on my Mood and Motivation.

HOWEVER, Lets begin my First Codex!

Vehicle History: The MR460 "Tiger" was developed to provide adequate fire support in Urban Environments to combat enemy Heavy Armour, Aircraft and Infantry units. The weapons that the Tiger has would usually be mounted to Tank Destroyer instead of Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle. While the MR460 has been equipped by all divisions of the UNSC, it has proven to be most effective in the hands of UNSC Army Rangers and ODST's. The vehicle is invaluable when carrying additional Ammo and Supplies, as well as being able to transport 3x 5-Man Fire Teams whilst keeping up with the high mobility that those units are renowned for.

The Missiles have interchangeable Warheads to allow easy logistics and the ability for force commanders to rapidly swing the battle to their favour.
(A/N: Visually based off the UNSC Fox Cannon with Combination of the United States M142 HIMARS Munition Size. The Missile Rack was of Russian Influence since I didn't want to equip it with 6 Missiles, but rather with a more Generous 38 Missiles)

Vehicle History: The M70 Force Application Vehicle was the much awaited replacement of the venerable M12 FAV "Warthog". Learning from lessons of the Human Covenant War, the UNSC more protection such as adding on doors, heavier armour and T/APS. The Multi-Layered Hard-Light Shielding was added after the Discovery of Forerunner plans of the improved versions that the UNSC now used on all of their Aircraft and Vehicles.
(A/N: Visually based off the Cougar MRAP and Coyote in Service with the United States and British Armed Forces. Front of the Vehicle is visually similar to the Halo 2 Anniversary Warthog's Bonnet. The Rear Compartment houses the Primary Armament is similar to the Coyote's but the Troop Compartment is further forwards than the 25mm Rotary Cannon. I'll try to get a visual for you guys if you need one.)

Maximum Speed: 86MPH (KPH)
Vehicle History: The CSV440 Truck was designed to replace the ageing CSG Military Trucks built by Sinoviet. Requirements for such a vehicle were as follows, The vehicle had to use an existing Powerplant to make maintenance simple, the superstructure had to built from armour, rather than building it then slapping armoured plates on top. The CSV needed to have an enclosed cabin and weapons station to protect the occupants. TITAN Security Armoury won the contract based upon one other feature, overlooked by its completion, added a rail loading system. Reminiscent of 21st Century Aircraft like the C-17 Globe Master VI, C-130 Super Hercules and A-400M Super Atlas to name a few, they utilised the system to quickly convert the aircraft, just carrying Humanitarian Aid to a Natural Disaster into being able to bolt hundreds of seats to help deploy Paratroopers very quickly. This meant the CSV and its trailers could be carrying a a fuel tank or after a minute, a 40 Soldier troop bay. This allowed UNSC Commander lots of choices for the best way to move its cargo easily.
