The Cougar is a lightweight, fast and highly flexible, versatile AFV constructed by the UNSC that was designed for, but ultimately cut from Halo Wars. Although heavy armor fire would eventually blow the Cougar away quite easily, this vehicle was highly effective holding and fending off enemy armored vehicles while slower friendly armored units were in transit to the battlefield. The Cougar had gained infamy in several urban tactical situations prior to the deployments in the war against the Covenant. [1]

It appeared as a somewhat standard armored fighting vehicle with two wheels up front and two pairs in the rear. It bore a small mounted turret armed with two auto-cannons, as well as a machine gun or grenade launcher on other concept art. There was a windscreen on its forward body, with two side windows to provide a fairly high amount of visibility for the driver, which would have proved useful.

According to Ensemble, the Cougar was cut from the game in favor of other vehicle ideas.[2] Its shape may have proved the inspiration of the SP42 Cobra[3], as its role in Halo Wars was originally an anti-vehicle unit. The Cougar bears a striking resemblance to the World War II armored car, the M-8 Greyhound.
