It's been brought up 800 times now, you cannot fly the Pelican SP or MP.

CRiM you gotta be kidding, just because you can't fly a fat piece of junk such as the Pelican will hardly effect your overall experience, it would be wicked however if you could shoot them down in single player as well as covie dropships

Yeah, Just think about flying it, If they were half useful in MP I'm sure Bungie would put them in, but all they are is a giant piece of crap that is really slow.

Edit: How would the passengers get out? And that means people can fall out while its flying too, oh yay.

the pelican would be one of my fav. vehicles,.. can you imagine piloting a pelican with 8 other players in the back and a passenger on the side, as you try to land in one piece at the other end of the map while 6 elites try to gun you down on the ground. It would be a sight to see.

I must say I was extremely dissapointed when I heard that you could not drive the Pelican. It would have been like a flying tank with its duel chainguns and HE Anvil rockets...drool.
Maybe you will be able to call in a Pelican for support in SP. They could make a strafing run with their weapons and drop off a squad of fresh troops. That would be some consolation since they are not driveable.

Man, I hate people like Crim who try to make Halo what it is not. Halo is a first person shooter. Some people say we should be able to fly, have jetpacks, commandeer starships, and control your marines like it is full spectrum warrior. Halo was a great game because it made the simple things awesome.
They need to keep halo 2 simple and basic just like halo 1. Adding all of these bells and buttons is only going to make the game worse.

Halo is not a flying game and flying the pelican has nothing to do with the story or the missions. It will change halo too much, halo is a FPS people, deal with it. Their not gonna make halo into a flying game.

Well if bungie didn't add any new features to the game, then it would just be Halo 1 with different levels.

no, new levels, addition of duel wielding, better graphics, new storyline, more vehicles, more weapons, and much more
Do you see sequels to other games completly changing the entire theory to it?

just think how much stratagey would be put into multiplayer if you could drop into someones base on CTF. They could have anti-air to counter but the pelican could have a gun on the back like it does in the comic strip and you could try to take out the anti-air with it.

The pelican is WAY too big. If you got in the c o c kpit it would take ages for the camera to pan out to the appropiate 3rd person view. You would barely be able to move and manouevre.

All its good for is to transport soldiers from A to B. Perhaps bungie have already made some sort of flying warthog with 3 passengers that would be soooo much better than that deadweight pelican.

BTW I love the pelican but i dont see any advantages in piloting the thing.

The pelican DOES have a turret on the back so perhaps theres some sort of on-rails aerial shooting going on. Where you the gunner instead of the pilot. That would be so much better than piloting anyway

Thats a load of crap arc impulse. Halo2 is introducing loads of different features based on the original halos gameplay mechanics. Like introducing boarding gives us more strategy and more variety with vehicular combat.

Dual wielding is an evolution of the normal wielding system and further makes the game great. What he was trying to say is that bungie should focus on what they've got and be creative and innovative with it and add more variety to the core gameplay. Not add some cheap thrills and mini-quests like playing taxi with the pelican.

Bungie know what makes halo great and thats why you cant pilot the pelican. END OF STORY.
