i think the human air vehicle should be something like an apache helicopter, and should be three man, one driver and two gunners out each side door of the chopper, also it should be a jet copter, that would rock. That way it wouldnt be too fast and it would be completely different from the banshee giving the game more variety. I also think that in halo 2 the rocket launcher tracking should be kept to only air vehicles as they are so hard to hit, its too easy tracking warthogs and ghosts, and what chance will a tank have!?!?

How about using the pelican itself? In the books it has a 50 or something MM cannon. They just didnt use it in the game b/c they were short of ammo(also so you have to fight not mooch off pelicans)

i think they should have plane with a propeller on each wing ( stubby wings) and then it would be a small craft MC could easily manauver and it couldnt take alot of damage at all but is camoflauged.....and so u can hover in the forest and it wooould have a single gun..AA of course that would be a small tracking rocket that would lock onto enemy aircraft fuel tanks....so u can do maximun damage with small craft and small ammo...which generates less heat....it would also have a parachute type of thing...................this is random: i think they should have a level in halo 2 where u take the role of a helljumper and go to earth in one of those pods and land in the middle of a meeting with the prphets ..then u come out with two badass smgs ...tear thro the prophets then all thes brutes and elites come out and u set an explosive on the ground then run and get into ur escape anti aircraft vehicle....then have an air fight...then land and take out the brutes and elites froma distance....really far away and u have a -blam!-load of ammo....but there are like 100 of them....of yea and eventually u meet up with ur spartans ( kelly is still alive )

Plus, rotors on helicopters are too easy to shoot out, easily disabling it.
(since vehicles in Halo2 are destructible)

...kinda but the shot to slow.. i mean if you tried to shoot a banshee it would usualyy miss...these surface to air turrets probably shoot a little faster..and they're probably more powerful

Or you could just have a lead on the target that your shooting at.

I think it would be cool to have a helicopter for a human "banshee"... that way it could hover, like the banshee, without it being too unrealistic (a plane hovering... I mean come on). Then you could have a passenger seat where a marine could shoot and have mounted machine guns and/or rocket launchers that you control. I think it'd just be cool to see all the dust being kicked up from the ground with the helicopter lands. I dunno, that's just my idea....


Oh yeah and human anti-aircraft turrets would be cool. But wasn't that what that thing in the E3 demo was? When MC was "covering" that marine and shooting jackals with the turret... those could probably be used for anti-aircraft.

no helicopters it would suck they would get their rotors shot off and crash a human fighter jet that could hover that would be good i mean it is 500 years from now it could happen
