Poll: Tell bungie what you want!  [closed]
Let us fly the pelican!:  100%
(95 Votes)
Total Votes: 95

One thing i want for Halo 2 is the ability to fly the Pelican. Im not sure right now if it is already being planned for the game, but I do know that Im not going to take the risk that Bungie doesnt know how many people want this. So i figure if nothing else that if enough people vote on my poll that Bungie has something to think about. So vote and then post but try to keep it on topic. Also their is only one option on the poll because its more of a petition then a poll.

VOTE!!!!

P.S. Specifically pelicans in multiplayer would be appreciated

P.P.S. VOTE!!!!

Good set up on the poll. Have you considered a job at fox news? Staying on subject, having a flying bus from which death could be droped one Spartan at a time would be really kickin' rad.

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. "Bungie, The Halo community wants drivable pelicans in multiplayer and single player!" I do believe that with the including this element to the game could add even more countless hours of fun for people. Just think Bungie you are flying in a pelican above the city (multiplayer or single) and all of a sudden you have to take advasive action to avoid fire (either by rockest in multiplayer or plasma fire from banshees in single). You have two choices stay in air and try to engage the enemy or book it down to the service to drop you heavy pay load and marines. Or in multplayer you have the flag, your running out of the base awaited by a pelican floating there with guns blazeing covering your six. You jump in the pelican and speed off covered by two wing man in banshees. So Bungie as a conceren and loyal fan. I beg of you for the sake of the game and the overwheeling joy of many Halo fans, I plead with you to include usable/flyable pelicans in the single player and multiplayer Halo 2 game. THank you, Jeremy T. Clinton (Col Clinton)

Hey I am all for it...

And I will even wait the extra few months it may take to fit it in!

OR - How-about including those "hooks" you all mentioned in the "Can I download new maps or levels" FAQ...
And work on the Pelican, then let us download it when it is ready...

Unarmed? are you kidding? and they aren't any slower than a banshee really! they're like flying warthogs, only better.

Unless the maps in single player show some use for the Master Cheif to be flying them then no, I don't think they should have it. In multiplayer however I could see some serious use for it. Base assults could be much more coordinated and deadly. As an effect though, if a Pelican gets shot up to the point of being destrioed it nose dives toward the ground. If it hits the ground and blows up everyone in it dies. You can survive by evacuating however, but if you evac too soon you'll fall to your death. If designed right it could be an excellent addition to multiplayer.

Damn straight. And on the subject of it being armed, it has s 50mm nose cannon and another one in the back, look at the E3 clip where the chief jumps out, just behind him is this badarse gun...

By the way, I would ask you to remove all reference to the p-word before Stosh locks the thread. He asked us not to put them in, and I think public opinion needs to get back to Bungie on this.

We want the Pelicaaaaaaaaan! WAH!

Halo not just a game but a way of life

HAVING THE PELICAN AVAIABLE WOULD BE NICE. WE COULD HAVE COVERED A LOT MORE GROUND ON HALO IF WE HAD THE PELICAN. BUT THAT IS WHY IT WILL NEVER BE AVAIABLE FOR US.

I think it'd be great to have flyable Pelicans in multiplayer... but in single player... Nah, if you spent the time to think about it, if you were in a hairy situation you could just bail out of the battle, jump into your pelican and zoom off. That gets a little boring after a while. Just being able to fly the pelican alone in single player would probably cut Halo 2's review ratings down. You have to think of what it'd do to the gameplay. Whats better, honestly, being able to escape every situation you come to? or having to think of a way to get out of a difficult situation. The second option is more appealing to me. I mean, sure it'd be great if you could escape in a pelican when your in a bad situation but its kind of like Starcraft. If your Marines are a serious entanglement, all you have to do is send in a drop ship, pick 'em up, bring them home, nurse them to health, and send them back to combat. It gets really old doing that over and over again... whereas on Halo, when your squad of Marines has been destroyed and your shields are down, either you evade and wait for them to recharge or you die and re-think your tactics.
If bungie has put them (the Pelicans) in already, i sure hope they've developed a way to make it fair according to the story and according to the game. I dont want to be able to fly off of the map and see the underside. That looks tacky.

Banshees are a different story. Usually the maps that have Banshees are built different... in single player mode of course.

I want a pelican in multiplayer only. The whole point of being MC is that YOU jump in and YOU kill everything with a couple of marines. Surely dropping the marines o*in would be crap. In multiplayer it'd be cool but with an "on/off" tick just in case. And with a turret rather than a gun controlled by the driver.

This isn’t a political forum. If you want to talk politics, get out of here.

but what you guy need to do instead of say i want a pilican what about you help bungie and think of ideas for it balencing issures and stuff then bungie might think its a good idea

and to you
Unarmed? are you kidding? and they aren't any slower than a banshee really! they're like flying warthogs, only better.
i have flown a pilican in a halopc mod (i know its not the same thing) but its hard to contral slower than a banshee they can fly circles around you and much hard to use than a flying woathog

Bungie it would be very good for the new assault gametype . Listen you set the bomb and the base is gonna blow in 1 minute you run outside and a pelican is their to pick you up and the base explodes
behind you.It would also be good for everything else especially for ctf.
You and your entire team in a pelican towards the base and you slauter them all.
And i really want it!! I like many other drivers in halo need as many veicles as possible for multiplaye an campaign

I dont know if Any said it yet but. If you read the FQA for the site it say's Do NOT post any petition's here. So what you are doing means nothing to bungie. If they deside to let you fly the pelican then they will on there own.
