thanks mod, you could have just edited out the name calling and scolded me in a pm, but noooo you delete the whole friggen post, whatever ill start again.
Boats ARE still usefull everyone.
1: covies own the air, so flying all the time is a BAD idea.
2: pelicans are only usefull for LARGE troop deployment, but on the other hand a jetski(one person) or a catamaran(2-3 people) are quite fast and usefull in deploying small amounts of people to an island.
3: a dual motored boat/jetski could smoke a pelican so if your going to go over water boats will be the vehicle of choice.
4: yes covenants have hover tech to go over water, Humans dont, there is not always a ghost/banshee waiting around for you to jack.
5:low-key, as in boats dont draw tons of attention unlike a screaming banshee or a whooshing pelican, therefore if your playing an island hop-CTF game boats are much more usefull than flying.
6:Instant exiting, if your flying hopping out while moving is BAD, but with a boat you only have water to land in, much safer if you see a rocket screaming towards you and you want a hasty exit, unlike a banshee/pelican.
7: jungle maps, flying is quite useless when the trees prevent any kind of liftoff/landing. but if there is a small river running about the map a small river boat will be quite usefull.
