It doesnt matter if we think there should be because Bungie has already said that there wont be (at least the Pelican, but if we cant use that then I doubt we could use another dropship)

Ok but how about this.
Every team starts on a big platform and then you have to ride the dropship to get to the "arena" but this would only be availeble on 1 map not all

"ARENA"??? This is halo not unreal tournament. besides it would be boring to sit in a dropship when you could be fragging away at the other team.

As long as they put banshees in MP then i'll be happy, on the topic of Halo2 MP does anyone know if there'll be bots in it.

Dude, what are you talking about. Pelicans aren't THAT big, and it wouldn't require some complex control system either. Didn't Bungie say(in one of the Weekly Updates) that most of the outdoor maps will be alot bigger than in the first Halo? I think that kinda solves the problem. Pelicans would also offer most strategic possibilities in terms of player transportation. Unfortunately, Bungie already said that there won't be any pelicans pilotable in MP, but I think it could've been done.

Sorry, but I think everyone knows who the real tard is here. The Pelicans aren't THAT big, and if you've paid attention, there not that fast either! Bungie has said that Halo 2's levels will be way larger so that solves the problem with them being too large for MP levels.

Don't you think theres a reason why Pelicans aren't in Halo 2? Because they wouldn't be fun to pilot. You may like the idea but in reality they just wouldn't be fun vehicles end of story.

I guess your right. At least if the Pelican didn't have any weapons(like the LAAG cannon on the nose), it wouldn't be any fun.

I don't want Halo 2 to turn out to be another Battlefield game, I am quite content with what it is offering right now.

nah, no thanks. I like the idea where the dropships drop in extra vehicles when they blow up, instead of magicly appearing. But actually being able to use them; I highly doubt it.

I think it would be pretty cool if every MP game started off with your team in a dropship and the other team in a dropship and each team were dropped off at there respected bases and have to now set up defense and find your enemy.
