I mean in multi-player and then when u are over the enemy base order all your allies to parachute out and get the flag and then pick then up at a extration zone, but these maps in H2 will have to be HUGE like the sive of Halo to make the ultimate Level!!

Parachute? No. That is not the point of a dropship. Go over, insert them and then extract them. that would be fun. But I thought Peilcans were unavailable in Halo 2.

Dropships will not be flyable. And the maps won't me massive, so far sixteen players have been confirmed for online play (maybe it's not final, I'm not sure of course).

Naw man. I've got the PS2 also, but I'm only going to have one system online. Guess you know what that is.

May I remind you that the pelican is a gigantic target? rarely is it used to insert you directly into a conflict, as it would be incredibly easy to pepper it with plasma grenades... It would be fun, yes, but I don't think it would really be practical.

my god now planetside is a game.... i loved making 'hot drops' in my galaxy over the enemy positions....

.... now though, can't afford the subscription because of many things... wish they could put it on LIVE or summit though as that would be AMAZING

Yeah, Pelicons definately are not meant for the use of paratrooping. The Pelicon is essentially the extremely advanced version of a helicopter. I doubt you will ever see men making combat jumps out of a chopper or a pelican. The only 'paratroopers' in Halo are ODSTs and they dont even use chutes. Anyways as some guy above me said, the Pelican is a transportation and deploying vehicle.

Hi im new! ahmmmm.... Anyway, yeah it would be sweet to like hover over a dropship in a banshee, and then jump onto it,crash through the windsheild and kill the pilot and stuff. Oh and it would be cool to be a marine in multiplayer.

I think that you should reconsider that statement after looking at this:


EDGE cover 10/2002

Unless i'm much mistaken they are pelicans there with paratroopers and warthogs dropping wit funny little parachutes lol. I doubt that Bungie would do something like that with out meaning to include it in some way into the the actual game as it would get sum ppl annoyed lol.

Excuse me! the maps of course will be big with flying vehicles and all! Besides bungie has already hinted you might be able to fly them (most likely in multiplayer) And explain all the pictures of Master Chief sitting in the -blam!-pit piloting the pelican and him snooping around inside of one. But this is definetly a topic JUST to think about, nothing is absolute. And Im talking to XiroKe

It would be amazing to fly the Pelican only if it was bound to Multiplayer because if it was in single player it would be easy to escape when things get rough. It should only be used for transportation purposes though, the turrets on the bottom should be disabled and it should have armor considering the hugeness of it. If the pelican isn't flyable then they should make some kind of air transportation like that modified Warthog as i've noticed, all air vehicles that you can fly can only hold one person.

Yea Ace you bring up a good point. Notice how in Halo 1 the -blam!--pit of the D77 was closed and now in Halo 2 it is Open. The door has been removed now causing easy access to the -blam!- pit. Like you also said it does have a picture on the site of MC in the -blam!--pit of the D77. I hope it is but so far everything is speculations until it is said by the official source, BUNGIE!!!

Frankie mentioned in one of the weekly updates that the pelican has a brand new design... (as you seen in the E3 demo) but he also mentioned the interior having a joystick in all.
To get to the point he said that you will NOT be able to pilot it
