M35 Anti-Infantry Support Platform

The M35 Anti-Infantry Support Platform, commonly known as the Cougar, is a lightweight, fast and highly versatile AFV constructed by the UNSC. It was designed for, but ultimately cut from Halo Wars. Although heavy anti-armor fire would blow the Cougar away quite easily, this vehicle was highly effective in holding off enemy armored vehicles until slower armored units could arrive at the battlefield. The Cougar had gained infamy in several urban tactical situations prior to the deployments in the war against the Covenant.HaloWars.com - Halo Wars Unveiled at E3.
It is a 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 Studios, the Cougar was cut from Halo Wars in favor of other vehicle ideas.HaloWars.com - Halo Wars Monthly Update 02.14.08
