We don't even know if there will be 4 player campaign, so definitely not whether you play as spartans or marines.

Who cares about flying the lame pelican?

Its Halo 2! There's better things to do (and use memory on)!

Would be cool, they should make a mission when you have to insert marines to an infantry regroup spot then you fly around and land to flank covies.
You should be able to get shot down.
They should have a level when you have to escape with marines by flying away from attacking covies!

Im sorry Drez but if thats what you really want then maybe Halos not for you.

Seriously, chaperone'ing (spelling??) marines?

C'mon how lame is that? This is Halo were talking about. You are the sole survivor, you are the last hope, you are on the battlefield fighting like hell.

The USMC (Is that right? I've never read the books) has pilots...Master Chief has better things to do.

i dont know about flying the pelican, but i would like to see levels where you can ride the pelican (and you are actually supposed to) in the middle of the levels instead of just getting in one to finish the level

If you read the manual MC is a master of every vehicle and weapon. What if there are no pilots around and you have to help escape with some marines?
If halo is not for me than why the hell is it at the end of the game you escape using a wart hog and at the end you fly away with a longsword? It seems like a great idea to me to fly a pelican! Halo 2 will be the perfect game, so you should be shot for saying "Halo is not for you" to ANYONE. That is like denying someone freedom of speech! Taking away Halo is like taking away breathing.

Haha I guess I see your point, and you see mine. It would be fun, it just doesn't seem like it would fit right.

Aout the marine rescue....I hope they just have that as a cut scene, haha.

Why would you want to fly the pelican. You are the one who is supposed to be dropped in, not the one doing the dropping. And its not like they need you as the uber-pilot or anything because they would just get an AI to do it if it was goin to be that hot of a drop. However in MP the pelican may work decently well.

Yes, but it has already been said that you cant use it in multiplayer

I was just saying i felt it would work better for MP than SP, i know it isn't gonna be used as far as we know.

read the weekly updates....frankie said there were no pelicans, but he said he was just watching a air dogfight....so other flying vehicals are possible

Halo 2 multiplayer is going to be way too nuts for pelicans.

Haha, that sentence sounds very funny out of context. But anyways, think about how much stuff is going to be going on in MP? Soooo much. Adding a pelican seems rediculous to me, the levels would have to be GIGANTIC to neccessitate, or even make use of, an unarmed drop ship.

This is Halo guys, if you're in a Pelican everyone on the other teams is going to shoot rockets at it (with tracking), stick grenades to it, snipe it, and shoot it down with tanks...and your whole team is dead. Halo 2 looks much more action packed than some game were you use a dropship in a multiplayer match.

I think you guys are just fascinated by the idea of it, without actually thinking about the practical applications of it...and quite frankly I think it would suck.

Good point I thought of that, which is why I was just thinking of using it for SP missions only at certain parts of the game...well I just thought it would be cool
