pelicans dont turn on a dime remember well since you guys hate the helicopter idea what should we use for human flying weapons to match the banshee and long swords arent included they are too big.Speaking of flying weapons i wonder if seraph fighters will be in halo 2 if u have read the books they are in there.

first of all helicopters are pretty advanced pieces of technology utilizing a lot of engineering to allow for flight. i dont think they are useful in space or other planets but it would make sense for them to be on earth i mean if we are still using guns that rely on "old"technology then why not choppers

thanks that is what i am trying to say copters are working for us now really well now why would our future not try to pursue to try to make them better. We need them for halo because they would make the game better

i think I've posted this somewhere else, but I think the "helicopter" should be akin to the tank. Have a machine gun and a rocket that needs recharging (possible guided), but it would be slower than the banshee. I don't think it would use rotors anymore though.



and the pelican also had that machine gun next to the bay doors if you watch the e3 2k3 video

YEah its like a make off the stealth bomber and the pelican is a make off some other plane that the wings turn and they have a propeller in them. Its in Ghost recon island thunder if anyone has ever played it. Bungie could make a helicopter that is futuristic and advanced with speed. helicopters are very fast most people dont realize that. The apache is super fast. I really just think that halo 2 needs some kind of human flying thing.

I've made this arguement before.

I don't think the Spartans need an "equal" to the banshee. The Covenant are supposed to be a superior race. If they were all equal than the Covenant wouldn't be on Earth now would they? Spartans could just have "stolen banshees."

Ok the humans have to have something to fly agianst the banshee. SOmething futuristic. It doesnt have to outdo the covenant flier just something for the humans. U cant say that 500 years after now they wont still have some sort of one man plane or copter going around. I mean they still have 8 guages with shot gun rounds. That isnt going to advanced right? The warthog still has wheels and axels and window. SO maybe bungies idea of the future isnt so well future wise. And we need a one man flying machin to counter act banshees. something cool. SOmething fast a plane or helicopter that is made future like. that sounds great

I'm thinking of a jetpack, not the sterotype jetpack mind you, but something that encases the whole upper body and has a mounted machine gun and rocket launcher, jets would be placed above the shoulders at a 50 degree angle, think about it, 'K?

I'm posting this on my dream vehicals thread so dont go there and flame me It is my idea after all.

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.


Why were they sent to do that?
It's MasterChief, Earths only savior!

After they created the mjolner armor or how ever u spell it. They had to test the master chief to see how fast strong etc. So the brought out one of the marines best because mc already beat the **** out of every thing human. SO they sent in a helicopter which would be a good add into halo 2. I forgot about that part in the book.

it sounded more like a mini-jet thing than a chopper to me. they sent it after the chief to test the mark V armour and the A.I capabilities but ackerson wanted an 'unfortunate acciedent' to occur while testing so he ordered a skyhawk after him.

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.

Weigrahf I am with you there. SkyHawk Jumpjet all the way.

Besides a jetpack would suck (it is not a Halo like item) and a helicopter is a major step back from the already exsisting technology inside Halo.

Skyhawk could work but i think it is a little too big for multiplayer at least
