i like the fact that it's real AI driving the dropships, not just scripted events that are timed.

Didn't bungie say that the pelican is still unpilotable for a player?

I don't think that the phantom is going to completely replace the dropship, maybe just better for a drop-and-go or something.

I really like the Phantom over the Dropship though. I think it might replace they do the exact same thing. It would be pointless to use the old ones now that they made phantoms destructable dropships would have to be. I really think they should replace Phantoms with Dropships. I heard the Humans have a smaller attack jet.

The levels are so big no dought(spell) thry will have the phantom maybe not the pelican though but posible

Also i t came to me in a dream. Alright a armoured heli copter. with a LAAG or rocket thing on the back so two people could piolet it. The driver could drop bombs(not that powerful though. Could carrey troops to drop at enemy base.SWEET

we only saw brutes come out of the phantoms...and we know that the brutes are seperate from the rest of the covies because they are royal guards, not so much military figures. Maybe the Phantoms are royal dropships...specifically for Brutes...or maybe Brutes just didn't fit in the other one.

They will probbaly even out multiplayer like this


Human = Covenant

Warthog = Ghost
Tank = New Transport Vechiel
New Jet = Banshee
Phantom = Human Dropship
New type of Human Turret = Gun Turret
