You cant fly the pelican. It wont happen.

  • 04.15.2004 8:50 AM PDT

Yeah, duce is right. Bungie has said several times that, despite the fact that you can actually enter the pilot area, you can't actually fly the pelican in Halo 2.

Still, anything can happen in six or seven months!

well then what would be the point? the neat thing would be if say... (totally reaching here) you could get the pelican to come in and give kinda like air support or get it to drop you off at a new location. If you cant fly it, at least be able to man th guns or somethin.

I'm also fairly sure that you can't fly the pelican, although it would be freakin' awesome!

Well they say in the FAQ's section that there will be flying vehicles so will it just be Banshee's again or more, different ones?

I' ve heard you can't fly, it bummer. But for multiplayer it would kick butt. I really wanted to in Halo 2.

There were rumours in the UK OXBM about being able to pilot it...

Just imagine being able to ferry warthogs and ppl in a HUGE mp map?

Yes, that'd be nice wouldn't it? Maybe ask for an ATV or two.
And In Reply To All: People are hoping for human aircraft in the game, and I'm personally hoping for a new Covenant aircraft, like the Covenant Seraph fighters from the books.

i think that the human bannshe should be made first then whatever
else because the humans need a 1 man craft.

actually I dont think it would be cool to fly it in multiplayer, why would people want to be all in one ship, it is easier to be transported, but it would also be an easy target.

I have a mod for Halo PC thart turns Derelict into part of AotCR for multiplayer goodness. Each team gets one Pelican, and it works out pretty good. They're a little slower than a banshee. bu they have heavy armor, and the only truly effective way to kill the passengers it fire shots directly into the cargo hold. The passengers can also fire out the back. I think that its a lot of fun to use, and pretty well balnced as well, so I don't see any good reason why Bungie can't include Pelicans.
