Hey its a discreet detal but in the maw after foe hammer crashes you hear cortana say "theres 1 longsword fighter left" somewhere in the ship. Then at the end you take it out of halo. Anyone else wish it came back in Halo 2?

Also there is a glitch that you can get inside the Longsword fighter without taking off. There is a pannel missing somewhere and if someone gives you a boot in cooperative it is very cool you can explore the cockpit of the longsword.

Please post any ideas you have about the longsword in here. thx.

It is back... remember when they bombed that huge turret thing in the New Mombasa video? If anything its used much more in Halo 2 than Halo 1.

i dont think the longsword is that cool, they need to upgrade it a bit. Also, if u read the book, the longsword he was in was abandoned when they made their way into the covenant cruiser. Now that humans have a covenant ship and much technology, im sure either the pelican or longsword will later be replaced by slieker, faster, and better air combat vehicles. If the new aircraft was small enough for only 1 or 2 people, it may make it into multyplayer, that would be cool.

Longswords seem smaller in the E3 video of halo 2, In halo 1, POA Intro, the pelican fly's by it, and you could fit about 5 pelicans side by side to equal the size. In halo 2, it looks like you could only fit maybe 3.

Oh, and by the way Shadow, that Huge Turret thing, is a Wraith. Because Sgt. Banks says:

"Dammit HQ Is anybody on this Wraith?!" :p

Me too, but i dont think in halo 2 that its drivable. Imagine that...vs a ghost or something...I just think it gets deployed or something.

well if your in a wraith and you miss there should be a four sec. before you can shoot again. so say you miss the ghost then you might get blown up. besides their slow and slugish but they could come in handy to like raid the enemy base. But how will you jack these veachiles? well i think it whould be to easy to jack making it a balanced veachile in MP beacause its soo slow and they said at e3 you can only jack slow or stoped veachiles.

He said "Damnit HQ is anybody on this grid!?"
That huge turret thing is not at all a wraith, its huge. Sgt. Banks called it a Harpoon I think.
