Qoute "I can probably tell you about the new Pelican model however, and it's a doozy. It's fully bump-mapped, impeccably detailed and features a real 3D -blam!-pit, complete with joysticks.[color=red] You can't fly it of course[/color], but it looks so much better than first time around." -Frankie
Thats from the March 26th Weekly update. So you can't fly it.

I don't know where you got this pic, but i don't think its real, its nowhere to be found on bungies website, so i'm wondering where on earth that came from.

No offense to anybody and of course, I could be wrong.

peace.

It's a real pic. However, it doesn't begin to prove that we can drive the Pelican. We see the Master Chief at the helm of a Longsword in the original Halo, and we can't drive that, now, can we? I'm sure this is just a cinematic, mostly because Frankie told us that we can't drive the Pelican.

yeah, thats how its done, proof that it isnt drivable, i couldnt be bothered finding the exact quote.

But it couldnt be a fake picture, it looks "too good" for anyone to fake!

Hah! If you could pilot that thing, the noobs would be coming out of the woodwork, everyone would just start ramming everything that moves

Actually they use the exact same graphics engine for both the normal gameplay AND scenematics. They just have custom animation for the more complicated movements and moves that aren't used in the normal course of gameplay. So there! Shows what you know!

BTW, i think that the pelican will probably be driveable, or at least be more used within the levels not just at start and end, so that you can man the rear gunner position and there be a use for that.

Master Chief's job starts when the Pelican lands and he jumps out ready to kick the Covenant so hard they starve to death before they stop rolling. He doesn't NEED to fly the Pelican...that's not what he's for. Just because you're the most important person on an airplane doesn't mean you automatically become the pilot.
