face it, a pelican is a giant coffin. 16 kills for whoever shots it down.

also, you'd need hugeass maps to have the concept work. a longsword, seriously? the map should AT LEAST 5 times bigger than sandtrap to be of any interest... and that's asking A LOT to your dear 360.

Well by the time this game comes out in 2010 they could probably easily make it with newer technology

That's assuming he meant in MM, not Campaign...

If you meant MM, then see above. If you meant Campaign, sure, why not? I made a thread a while ago about wanting space battles, much like Star Wars: Battlefront 2. That would rock.

excuse me sir but I definitely didn't upgrade the hardware of my console and I'm confident M$ won't do it for free either. so your argument makes no sense.
they can improve the software (engines, for example) and how they use the horsepower of the console but it's still limited.

also, piloting a pelican in SP would be boring. go there, land, get troops, go over there, drop troops. repeat. because of limited power, you're following a scripted path.
and in MP it'd require A LOT MORE power than what the 360 can do. I mean, texturing a map that big, plus syncing 16 players or more on it? it'd either be impossible or cause extreme amount of lag.

Sorry forgot to put that in the topic. I mean in campaign. Like say your pilot gets shot through the glass or something happens and you have to take the controls and you get to shoot a few badguys with rockets and chainguns. And then you get to land it thats what i am talking about.

You would of thought they would of done it in Halo 3, since it was an end to that story arc

Since they didnt to it then, they most likely will never do it. Its sad though when Gears Fans wanted to do certain things. They gave it to them and bungie continues to disapoint

If there was a multiplayer level where there was a pelican - it could be made to work.

There are two bases - separated by a mountain with caves connecting. One route could be over the cave -

Pros -
gets everyone over and hell - it's a pelican
It's heavily armored

Cons-
Can't aim well from the back
if it blows up, everyone's dead.

  • 06.04.2009 7:47 AM PDT

Im not sure how they could make the story so you could fly a pelican, in the fall of reach book, the one the spartans fly gets shot down i think.

It just wouldnt fit in the story of the book.

And about not flying a pelican in halo 3, when would it really be a exciting time to fly one? Their mainly used as transport dropships, not heavy weapons platforms.

In the Halo book Fall of Reach the Spartans are training while they are kids and they get to steal and fly a Pelican. I hope they have a level where you are training and then you flash to the present and you are fighting the covenant on reach.

People seem obsessed with the fact that the entire game of Reach will be spent on the planet Reach.

It's quite possible that the game will incorporate the whole book "The Fall of Reach" with extra stuff thrown in too. In my opinion, only the last few levels will take place at Reach itself, the rest will just be the build up to the fight.

Well if it does use the whole book not just the battle of reach then i really hope you can do a space battle with the covenant

  • 06.04.2009 8:11 AM PDT

are you guys forgeting farcry 2? it has HUGE maps, i see no reason why the maps cant get larger, sand box flattened onto one level would be huge, i mean you can already have the huge middle layer when you block the guardians so i say why not. Also i agree with above, chances are that only part of the story will happen on reach, halo 3 was supposed to be on earth yet half of it is on the ark. I am one of the people who loves to drive,fly and ride (that's what she said) so i would faint if we could fly pelicans/ long/short swords.

space battles would also be awesome, i cant wait for reach even if it doesnt have this stuff

  • 06.04.2009 8:31 AM PDT

definitely plus longswords are supposed to be hella fast so it would probably get ruined by them bein hella slow

Halo Reach already has the technology to make really big maps and things like that so technology and the xbox is not the problem. Say they took Sandtrap but instead of the area in the middle they could take out the gardians and you could use all the area that would make a good map. you could probably fly longswords in that and definatly pelicans.

16, if it's 16 and Halo's always been a 16 player will the Pelican get a Killionaire on itself or something?

CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT!

I think with the pelican, there is a large potential for something that would improve multiplayer. However, I think that the limitations that could arise from adding it into multiplayer would be enough for Bungie to get rid of it. That being said though, if they do include it, a way to prevent the entire team from dieing in the pelican, the driver could just die and then the pelican crashes. The pelican would then not respawn and it could be used by the surviving passengers as a place to hold out (see black hawk down). It would remain a piece of cover throughout the match.

  • 06.04.2009 10:10 AM PDT

Maybe in multiplayer you could kill a certain amount of people or find a radio, or do something special and you could call in a Pelican to your base and it would bring weapons, ammo, a vehicle, power-ups, and any other stuff.

  • 06.04.2009 10:49 AM PDT

I lie the idea of a pelican i don't see why it could'nt be sed as long as it doesnt respawn and remains a piece of cover like someone esls said. It would require large maps with different structures reachin high into the air so there is something to stop its llines of sight and doesnt become all poweful. It would atleastbe fun n campaign.

it would be cool to fly a pelican but that never showed in the book. besides when the pelican flying the spartans down to reach lost its pilot. i think the only flyable vehicle will be the banshee.
