That would be a perfect response to the banshee threat on earth. But they would have to creat it in a sort of jet way to for quick speed. Maybe put on wings or something I don't know some one give ideas please.

I don't think so.... A helicopter would be like a pelican... no reason it should be controlled. Besides I think Banshee's would be faster.

how about like a jet pack kind of thing, that you can enter and so fly around shooting stuff. and to make it more balenced it could have a regenerating fuel supply so you woldn't be able to stay up forever. And explode if shot. Well, thats my idea flame it if you will but I like the idea of shooting spartans out of the sky.

I think a gyrocopter would work alot better. Like a mini-helicopter for those of you who don't know what one is. It would be a good balance with a LAAG for its primary weapons and a rocket for secondary that takes a while to reload (so use wisely)
don't you think that would be better than a massive helicopter?

What the hell is it with this forum and jetpacks? everyother post I see says there should be a jetback, get off it!

On subject though, why would humans need a helicopter, the pelican hovers and seems extreamly manueverable, but then again, I never seen a pelican with a weapon on it, so that is something else to consider, but helicopters, no.

Pelicans do have weapons, i think they have a machine gun that comes down from the nose. They definately have missiles though.

Truthfully, I dont think they should have anything that they dont already have, the covenant are supposed to be superior, if they wernt, there would be no fun in that now would there?

yes, the skyhawk is on fall of reach when the ODST's are ordered to kill master chief. It shot rockets at him. With the sound of it though its pretty big, it has to go quite far out to turn around and make additional passes, banshees would anniliate it.

Helicopter, what are you alking about?!?!?!?! That would be stone age during Halo. Ther have P E L I C A N S. They hover, they fly, they fufill the purposs of a helicopter. What is up with people?!?!?!?!?!?!?! HELICOPTERS DO NOT EXIST THEN. Maybe a little personal flier with jets like the Pelican but duh no helicopter.

And yet all the Terran weapons are from the 20th century. (ie. they use cartridges for ammunition) And aren't even very good ones, at that. There are better weapons in the real world TODAY then the ones offered in HALO. So I don't think the "It's not futuristic enough" argument holds much water. That logic just doesn't hold up.

I cant believe u dont like the whole idea of flying something human, i mean the pelican is good and all for a drop ship but it needs backup and to be covered and a quick and able to stop and turn on a dime is perfect so i give u an advanced helicopter. pelicans dont look that quick from what ive seen so a plane would not be able to cover it very well. not to mention ground attack some idiot bad guy with a rocket down there firing at a pelican full of men. U need some kind of copter for quick stops and fast goes.

They don't need a helicopter, they've advanced beyond helos into VTOLs, Vertical Take Off And Landing crafts, like the pelican, no blades. I'd like to see a VTOL type fighter though, to counter banshees.
