pelicans would rock in multiplayer but would probably suck in single

That's why the Pelican would if included, be confined to Multiplayer. The Pelican included depends on the amount of Players online will be able to sustain to each match. Ranging from 64, 32 or the original 16. I for one hope for 64, It'd be another Battlefield. Anyway, depending on how many make the final cut, the Multiplayer maps would have to be expanded greatly, which would make the Pelican, etc. able to fly around more freely.

It'd be great in multiplayer. no doubt about it. And it is true that if you have 64 people playing on Xbox Live you HAVE to have a Pelican to get your team (or whoever comes with ya) across the map. Especially if the maps are huge, like Bungie says (i think they said that).
A Ground Transport is NOT a Pelican... an example of a ground transport vehicle would be the Warthog with no chain gun or anything for self defense (Besides the occupants). The Pelican is Air Transport.

Thank goodness for the Edit button.

Yeah. I seriously do hope 64 players in a match is able to be perfected. I'd be happy with even 32 but 16, phh, I could go have a freaking LAN party if I wanted a measly 16 player match. Yeah, Ground Transport is that truck varient of the Warthog with the bars and stuff over the back.

A Ground transport is a vehicle with two or more wheels that makes contact with the ground and held on the ground by something we here on earth call "gravity". Air Transports are vehicles with wings, thrusters, engines, alierons, and elevators.

Do you know what a chain gun is? Okay, maybe my last post was a little misleading but a majority of the time, ground transport vehicles (like the one Halo 2 concept of the Warthog) don't have any significant defense because the areas where guns and rocket launchers would normally be mounted are replaced with comfy seats and ammunition storage racks under the seat.

I just noticed some grammatical errors in my last post!

Maybe im crazy but am I the only one that thought Banshee's ruined Halo PC? Flying in multiplayer is ludacris in a FPS... jeez go play Crimson Skies if you guys wanna fly stuff. I hate getting in vehicles in Halo unless I'm using it to score in CTF. Not to be the one A Hole who rains on everybodies parade, but the only thing I could see a pelican truly useful for would be a Massive XBox Live game where you need to get people across the field, and even in that extreme situation, it better not have guns.

Has anybody but me heard of weapon balancing? Seriously you can't make stuff and just have it unstoppable lol It would just end up with people duking it out for the pelicans, and the people with real skill just camping the noobs running to get in the pelican with a Sniper Rifle.

With respect to all. This is just my opinion :-)

Let Bungie do what they want. As much as I want to fly a Pelican (hence my avatar), I certainly hope that Bungie isn't making their game based on the petitions they get. Good idea, but just let them make their game, it'll be awesome anyway.

uh...

1. Bungie has stated that they don't allow petitions!
2. The Pelican has too many functions, it would be very difficult to implant every thing. that's why it's not pilotable... theres:

a) missiles/chainguns
b) picking up vehicles
c) picking up people
d) rear chaingun
e) it's a big f'n target...
g) people would abuse it in multiplayer and get people killed or do other stupid things...

don't get me wrong, I want to pilot them as well... But I can understand why they wouldn't allow it...

Why thank you, it was a very intelligent statement, unlike yours.

Lol, no offense, but Isn't killing people the point of Halo Multiplayer?
You might want to clarify that, because as written, itt could mean two different things.

Staying on subject, even thought your not allowed petitions I have to say, if it was only for transportation and not for attacking with huge guns blazing from the sky like mad in a situation that you can never get out of unless you stay in your base for the rest of the time while the other team is invading it continuously then it would be a great idea only if it was bound to multiplayer thought because Hunter77th changed my mind with his great point of escaping. Agreeing with someone else which I forget his name, I agree that there should be no guns on the Pelican and used just mainly for transportation, that is, if this does ever happen. I can't wait already for Halo 2 after viewing some trailers, but for this awsome attachement I would wait maybe up to an extra month.

bungie has already said in one of the updates that you'll get to shoot out the back of a pelican in campaign mode and fly one in multiplayer

Umm, as much as we all want the Pelican in Multiplayer, when and when the hell did Bungie EVER say they were going ahead with including the Pelican in Multiplayer?
