that would be awesome, on a team based game instead of randomly spawning some where everybody should be dropped off by a dropship and when you die you wake up on a ship heading to drop you off where the battle is.

That would be so awesome

No, they have not. They said the AI controls everything. We however can not drive dropships. At least that is the last thing Bungie has said about it.

I dont think they have ever confirmed nor denied any statements about pelican flying. Frankie sometimes talks about flying vechicles in the Updates. We will have to wait and see. I sure hope so, and all the losers out there that dont want to fly pelicans are nuts. i mean think of the stratagy!

They have actually confirmed that Pelicans won't be fliyable in MP.

I'll never forget PlanetSide with the huge Galaxy transport ships.... you need huge maps for them to be decent though,

That would be sweet. In multiplayer anyways, there should be Banshees (fighters) Phantoms (Heavy Fighters/Bomber) and Dropships (dropship) for the covenant and Longsword fighters (fighter), ?some kind of heavy fighter/bomber, and Pelican (dropship). That way each side gets a light fighter, heavy fighter and some sort of dropship. Then say have landing pads at each base and man..that would be the sweetest damn thing ever.

Btw if we had to many air units, i would suggest modding them so they were easier to kill instead of needing atleast 20 well placed shots. This would even the battle with ground based forces.

Those Pelicans are by no means "light" lol! they're probably as big as Pelicans, if not bigger. Seraphs are the Covie equivalent.

Halo is a pure FPS 1st, 2nd, 3rd 4th.... get the idea?

FPSs with space combat use it as a way to expand the gameplay cuz it's so boring, i just hope Bungie doesn't have to resort to that.

dont get me wrong that is cool but something about it makes it look like computer graphics rather than xbox graphics. I mean computers are always going to have better graphics than consoles. But I dont know if the graphics are going to be better than the E3 demo but it definatly looks different.

hey, just look at the new lvl for halo ce called streets_of_earth_city, it has a pelican and it does everything we want(carries people, can be flown, and it even animates Master Chief in the front seat).......its prety cool and it on the first halo. This means that Halo 2 could probably do this.

Yes, and at the same time no. Pelicans could be useful transportation to the enemies base, but they are a rather large vehicle (and they have no weapons I might add - making them defenceless <.<;;). Pretty much the only positive thing about them is that they are good transportation for your team, other than that, useless (except for the fact that you can run over people :)

well, ya that is true. But making the pelican with a lot of armor would be good. I'm to tired to argue in a peacful manner so im just gunna relax for a while.

No pelicans in MP, and no flying them in MP, couldn't be made to work well enough. And for you that don't think the pelican has weaponry, all the men in the back, i imagine, will be able to fire out the back, and watch your halo 2 e3 03 video, when Master Chief is getting out of the pelican you can see a mounted machine gun right there.
