The Wheelman. The unsung hero of the Halo universe. These fearless and devoted soldiers drive head first ignoring danger while performing insane acrobatic manouvers at high speed, all while their teammate takes the glory. To these forgotten heros, I salute you. Without you, my job would be far more difficult.
The choose particular Wheelman I choose to honor is Gr1mfx. He has shown me the joy of being a gunner. I have learned the hard way that putting your life in someone elses hands is not normally a wise thing. Other drivers I have experienced have always gotten me killed quickly. Whether it be by rolling the Warthog, slamming head on into a rock, or just stopping in the middle of a fight, every other driver has contributed or caused to a quick death.
Every good Wheelman will have his own style, and I’ve learned that I best like the style of not dying. Gr1m maintains constant motion and communicates enemy position to the gunner. While riding with Gr1m, I don’t have to worry about being shot by targeted enemy fire. It’s quite a delight to be able to spend all of your concentration on one enemy and if another happens to warrant immediate attention, your driver is looking out for you. If you win, he wins. I’ve seen games where Gr1m will go without any kills. He sacrafices his stats for the greater of the team/teammate.
So to you Wheelman Gr1mfx, I salute you and I offer you my thanks. Here’s to many more missions with you at the helm. To Gr1m!
