I think it would be real cool if you could fly the pelican and phantom in multi-player.
Heres a Pic i found at 343GS of the Master-Chief flying the pelican. http://343gs.the-junkyard.net/Big_24.jpg

It should be the same with SPARTAN respawn. No more spawn killing!

That would be such an easy target, so that wouldnt help with the spawn killings

With pelicans/phantoms you know how fun CTF would be? you could drop of 5 guys in the back of there base, give your chainguns a squezze and then fly out of there with the flag and BAM you get one point.

They already said that neither will be pilotable in multiplayer.

But I actually think it'd be neat. I mean it could have a handicap. As it, slow flying, one person flies it, one person manages the shooting of the weapons. Then it could carry up to four troops (I know there could be more, but more is just too unbalanced.) and the two troops that are in the back hatch can drop 'Nades out, and shoot out the back, also.

Even though they won't put it in, if they did, they would make it balanced.

i have also seen i the E3-2003 Movie that the pelican that drops off the Master-chief has some kind of gun mounted in the back.

Even though i voted yes for Multiplayer phantom/pelican it would kind of spoil multi mode.

Anyone agree?

There should only be Pelicans if the level is ridcilously big! So you can drop off your troops. It would also add a new layer to capture the flag. I can dream it up right now: Your buddy dropped you off in the rockethog he blasts away at the turrets, you run in snag the flag... but wait your rockethog gets blown to $hit, you think your finished but then a Pelican saves your ass... but a short while after take off banshees come screeching up next to the Pelican pelting it with plasma, the co-pilot rushes to the chain gun and kills them... FLAG CAPTURED!

I think it would be stupid b/c ppl would use it to get some where else where no one could shoot or get 2. mabey as a entrance to start the game but playing and using them that would be dumb.

It would be kinda cheap.

Like everyone said, you go and drop people off to get the flag, then you jump back in and if people are shooting the gun from the back, they could blow anything up that is following and they could win really easily.

Plus, all the new levels aren't made for the flying ships except for the banshee.

I think that there should be a pelican and a phantom in the mplayer maps because if you are going to play teams you could just gather up everyone in the pelican/phantom and unleash hell on the other teams base!!

I think it shoud be computer controlled and it is for insertion of the offensive team only at the beginning of the round

I like the idea were the Pelican drops in vehicles when they are destroyed (and same for the covie dropships dropping in theirs. But I think that actually being able to use them would be fun for a little bit... but it wouldn't last.

i think it would be cool and if you dont thinks its fair it is because there are also phantoms that can shoot and banshees that could easily take out a pelican
