Yeah a Pelican would be awesome! And to balance it make them highly destructible and put at least 4 turrets to a base.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

It would be a dream come true if you could use Pelicans in H2. But, look at it this way. How many people will be playing? If 16 is the limit, what's the point of them really ya know?

If you could, I think one person would fly the pelican into the other teams base, kind of like a suicide. People could "design" interesting air crashes. Hey, it's not september yet?

I like the idea of dropping the team in at the start. But it would be pretty cool if you had to parachute in, not helljump "parachute"

Just the Phantom, though they would make it able to be sniped by another player.

pelicans and phantoms would make sense because halo 2 maps are 5 times larger than the biggest halo 1 maps

the pelican has a chain gun on the front and back (the one at the front is always tucked away though)

Come on people, don't you remember the cry of fans for a Banshee in mutiplayer, and how that turned up on its first try? Sure, it was fixed for Halo 2, but still. A Pelican is WAY too cheap.

Bungie could easily find a way to balance it, perhaps by making it fairly slow compared with the banshees. The Phantom would also balance it. The tank is not that balanced except for that its slow, so why not a Pelicam?

i think in outdoor maps when i vehicle is destroyed, a pelican should drop one in


I think that this would be a really cool idea. Bungie hasn't said anything about that, have they?

Actually, i think in foremost my opinion, that the installment of the pelican/phantom, will be highly critic upon that many ground rules will be broken upon, IF Bungie was to add the pelican into MP then their would almost be no point in worthog transports, and the pelican of course will have a pasenger limit, correct?

So in other words, though their might be a limit, players will find a way, (always!), like hopping on the back of the pelican and whiles its flying sniping from on top. Or even going as far as putting vehicles on top of it.

Balance is key in Bungie projects, and this will make it off key.

That pic is a fake. It's just a pelican cockpit render with a Cheif cut and pasted from the warthog pics. His hands don't even touch the controls! Oh ya, as for the MP, I trust Bungie to make it right.

I dont know.... if it were really lowd and really slow i could see it happen and also only in huge maps (if there are any)....AND if they dont make it friken invincible....BTW some people might still take the worthog becuz its damn fast....also the pelican/phantom shouldn't have any defence exept the players in the back or else it would be a flying tank.....

Yeah, but the pelican shouldn't just have the laag(light anti air craft gun), it should have the haag(heavy anit aircraft gun) :). They should actually have a better form of the pelican, because you can snipe people out of them with a clear shot. You need luck to hit someone out of a closed Phantom, because you can't see your target. So, there needs to be a door on the back of the Pelican, for safe passage.

I like the idea of pelicans and Phantoms in multiplayer.But I'm stuck on the idea of droping from the pelicans in parachutes.Isn't that wat ODSTs do.Please correct me if I'm wrong.

OR, yeah, just open up the back of the Phantom or something so it's even.

I read that in certain situations that backup will be called in(like mortar and sniper support) along with pelican drop offs. So they would problably be giving fire suppresion while doing an insertion.
