Forget the chopper thing, what he means is a VTOL aircraft of some sort that is small and can be a counter to the covies' banshee. The SkyHawk could be it though I doubt Bungee will make it pilotable in Halo 2. But would be cool to have a flying human vehicle for multiplayer battle so dogfights would be more interesting and at the same time make the battle between humans and covies a lot more developed and complex. IMO the SkyHawk would be what w'ere looking for though it might be a bit big...
Skyhawk Atmospheric Fighter
Description:
Crew: 1 pilot +1 gunner Armament: 50mm rotary cannons Secondary: Scorpion missles
The Skyhawk is a jump jet VTOL (vertical take off and landing) air attack fighter. It is armed with a quad set of 50mm rotary cannons, and Scorpion Missiles that are capable of destroying tanks. It's ability to take off and land vertically, like the Pelican, make it useful where LZs have no runway.
It says it has a 2 person crew. The pilot and the gunner. That, sadly already makes it pretty big. At least bigger than the banshee. 50mm rotary cannons. The pelicans chain gun is 70mm so it's a bit smaller than the pelicans, but I don't get the rotary cannon thing. It's a jump jet just like the Harrier. I see it slightly smaller than the pelican. So maybe it can be incorporated to multiplayer along with the banshee. At least I hope. I just don't like the idea of humans using a covenant vehicle when they are supposed to have a well developed military.
