Ok how come the Covenant has air superiority??? You'd think that MC would at least have access to Close Air Support? But no! He's a sitting duck without a rocket launcher or any anti-air weapontry vs a squadron of banshees! Chime in to vote for what you want!

Well, the covenant are supposed to be a superior race, they should just stick to banshees in my opinion. Spartans could operate "stolen banshees." If humans had an equal counter to every covie thing in the game, than the story-line wouldn't be of Covenant kicking our asses.

there will probably be marine air support because in the E3 demo from last year a dropship looking vehicle drops bombs on that huge covenant artillary gun, so i voted for the marine jet, cause if you have spartans vs. elites you might as well have banshees vs. a marine air fighter......

the marine fighter should only be in multiplayer....

That is called the LongSword Interceptor, it's the UNSC's fighter jet. The Master Chief gets off of Halo in one, and you call yourself a halo nerd....lol jk

There is a marine vehicle similar to the banshee for the covenant. I can't remember whats it's called anymore. I know it has two large fans type things and it's slower then the banshee.

Maybe someone else will remember the name; I think it starts with an "a" or "c". Ah I can't remember, anyways if I do I'll post the name.

Those "bomb dropping marine dropship things" look like they are a longsword fighter.. remember the end of "the maw" ? yep..
Maybe you get to pilot a longsword fighter in Halo 2? Theres ya Marine Air Support!

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Harrier is old. Better use F-22; hovering cababilites, stealth, and super-sonic. Hover then go super-sonic in same flight.

For Halo it will probably look like a mini-pelican.

I doubt you'd be able to pilot a Longsword fighter(in multiplayer, anyway.) That thing is HUGE! It's like the size of 5 Banshees or a couple spare rooms of a house, depending on the size of the spare room. If it was in MP then you should have to have like four people just to drive that thing since it has so much firepower. You'd take one look at the thing and -poof!- where'd I go?

Only problem, Bungie has said that the Pelican won't be pilotable. So that leaves us with the Longsword(unlikely) or some other mysterious human aircraft.

I noticed that too. Weird how things like that happen. I hope we don't get bad luck or something. Wait, I think I hear the universe collapsing...
