EDIT: Mr. Higby! Clarification is required!

That's fair enough. Then I return to ATV.

All Terran Vehicle? :P

The TR secretly develop all the ATV's to be fitted with remote explosives.

Actually if you want to get technical, apparently there's an actual ANSI standard definition for what qualifies as an ATV (who knew?).

If this Wikipedia article is to be believed, they qualify an ATV as, "a vehicle that travels on low pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control."

That sounds like the vehicle we're talking about, don't ya think?

EDIT: Of course, that's a purely American definition.....

Actually keep the name ATV and add jet ski's & snow ski's as a customizable option. So then it truly will be a ATV!

Quad just sound funny. I prefer ATV.

But i wont use any of that names. I always refer of them as a Fury, since it was deadliest variant, and i will call them Fury in PS2 too.

have you even watched the webcast?

ATV stands for AFTERBURNER TURBO VEHICLE!!!!

Whenever my outfit runs a Basilisk/Fury night, it's called "ATV Deathrace" because all three vehicles fit into the category of ATV, just like Reavers, Mosquitos and Wasps fit into a certain category (albeit a tiered one).

Something like 'Roadrunner' or 'Cheetah' could be cool. Raptor?

Can't believe that wasn't thought of previously.

My vote changes from ATV to Hamster

[Hamma]

I think we should come up with a more creative name outside the box.

Maybe we should call it the Dyson..

[SuperMorto]

Quad just means 4, and ATV means all terrain vehicle. It is neither! Its a 4 wheeled bike.

I'd love to see the wraith back in, i wouldn't mind a phantasm too (if they removed the gun)

Stealthed vehicles were well balanced in regards to their movement, the phantasm just got abused because some asshat decided it would be a good idea to put a gun on it

The Phantasm has a gun? Did they put it back on?
