could be that they put in a human air vehicle, this would make sense, as they have countered the ghost with ATV, the warthog with the Shadow, and wraith with scorpian, am i seeing a pattern here??? I think the best idea for a human air vehicle would be a jet copter, it has jet to fly forward fast, but it can hover too, it would be three man, because, 1 driver, 2 gunners out each side doors, and the turrets should be LAAG cannons. Wat do you think?

a longsword would be too fast and also too devastating, just think, which would win, a banshee or a longsword?

I think that would be cool but to keep it even with the banshee i think you should have a chain gun and some rocket pods, but i really hope you have dropships im MP

dropships would have to be unarmed, like the pelican. because in sixteen player, landing 8 master chiefs in on one base, aswell as a turret on the ship would be really unfair, a warthog of people is bad enough to fend off!!!

Apache Helicopter + Pelican = THE HORNET

System Specifications:
50mm LAAG mounted on right side of -blam!-pit THE C O C KPIT (STUPID CENOSRS)
2 missile pods mounted on each side
roughly 14 feet in length (Little bigger than a warthog)
3 second reload for missile pods (to make it fair)
Can fire 2 missiles at once
Limited tracking capabilities (aim at something for a second or two, and it will lock on)
Two engines on the top back that go up,down,and opposite each other whether your going right or left, and an afterburner(boosting)
Just as easy to land and take off as the banshee
Basically an Apache on steroids =)

Color Scheme:
Metallic Gray with the emblem: UNSC(Randomly generated number
Windows are the same color as Pelican
Lights on either wingtip

Something like the banshee but humanized (if that's a word): Mini 1 person jet that goes as fast as a banshee and can hover, 1 LAAG gun and 1 rocket launcher. LAAG gun = 2 plasma cannons on banshee, and rocket launcher = fuel rod gun like banshee. It all evens out!
You can kinda swoop bomb using the rocket launcher in the same way you can kinda swoop bomb with the fuel rod gun on banshee

A fuel rod gun es the Covie equivalent of a human rocket launcher.

See my point?

I think that dropships in MP would be awsome.it would be cool to se how a dropship lands near the enemy base and master chiefs start running out and shooting there way in the enemy base. and it would be very cool to control a pelican

Someone said something about the banshee boost. I think they took the Fuel Rod Cannon off for and replaced it with the boost, but they might have changed that or no one knows except Bungie. And a Dropship that could only hold a driver, a gunner, and 4 MC/Elites would be nice, but the dropship would be pretty slow unless in a straitaway, would have no boost, and the hull (where the extra toops would be) would be easily peirced by LAAG ammunition. Also it would be cool if there was two kinds of the dropship. One with the classic 50 cal. chaingun and another with a extremly powerfull but medium range flamethrower. Also if they have levels with vast amounds of water (Zanzibar) and beaches a assault boat and/or a troop transport boat would be awsome...futeristic D-day *drool*.

dude thats sounds freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but just add 1 more thing, a homing missle launcher for the driver to controll just in case the 2 gunners die.

If they had more planes/UFOs flying up in the air we would need something better to take them down with like a flack cannon or something...that would rock. Also artilery or bombers would be cool too but only if HALO 2 supports more than 16 players (at least 22) online and if they levels are really as big as they said they would be in the Game Informer article.

this all sounds very nice, but with the new live play and head set the drop ship pilot can be like '5 seconds till drop - lock and load your weapons - GO GO GO! hit it MC's!!!' + a black hawk style transoprt would be nice, with the 2 chain guns and all, just snip off the rotor blades make it beefy-er, job done

A longsword is like a hundred feet long. That's not it. No helicoptors because thet're not futuristic. It would be something like a smaller version of the Pelican.

About the Banshee-boost, I think they've replaced the brake (A-key). In Halo every viechle had a "special-action" on the A-key, which meant braking for everything except the Ghost, which then pitched up when pressing A.
I think the Skyhawk would be a good idea. 50-cal guns with Scorpion anti-tank missiles would be awesome, at least in single-player. Shoulden't be invincible, though. It shoulden't survive more than a rocket-hit. The new target-tracking feature on the rocket-launcher should be useful as anti-air.
If pelicans are made pilotable, it would sureley be interesting to see how they lay out the controls. Hovering-mode, for example.
By the way, I think I've seen scetches showing a chin-mounted chaingun under the nose of a pelican, but mayby it's been removed.

The Skyhawk didnt have a 50 cal it had 2 75mm machine guns and lotus antitank missles.
