Halo Custom Edition is the answer to your prayers as of now. Flying a pelican full of marines from a base in a mountian half way across a map about the size of any Halo 3 campaign map to drop them off in a hot combat zone never ceases to please. : ) Definately check out some Halo Custom Edition maps like "no way out" (on halomaps.org of course).

I'm really hoping some of the levels in Reach will be large enough to let us fly around in pelicans and drop our fellow players and vehicles into battle for some multiplayer epicness. Bungie has teased us with this vehicle for so long that Reach has got to have the scale to let us stretch its wings?

there is no point for a spartan to fly a pelican, so they probably wont implement it. MAYBE in multiplayer? idk

wish you could call palicans to pick you up in multiplayer to get the drop on your enemy.

I'm sure that pelicans did not evolve on reach. Plus it would not fly, seeing as you will be a spartan wearing almost a half of a ton of armor the little feathered rat wouldn't be able to lift you.


I am going to assume that you are joking and actually have played the Halo games and were not so incompetent not to notice that the Chief flies in Pelicans all the time. Also in the books.

That said, I would like to see some freakin Pelicans "stretch their wings."


He meant the ones that carry babies, not the ones that carry tanks :P

Don't get me wrong, I love Pelicans. But would that really change the game at all. I mean, everything Bungie puts in their games has a big impact on gameplay. I mean, I know in Sierra 117 you see those Pelicans -blam!- the Phantoms, I guess for me it just isn't a big deal. But I can see how other ppl really want it, because Pelicans are Bamphs.

  • 06.07.2009 6:24 PM PDT

In Halo CE Custom Edition you can fly Pelican and yes I know its a mod but still it fly good. :P

The slater that has started will cost countless lives.
The slater that has started will create untold story's.
The slater that has started will not end with a bang.
The slater that has started will end with a unheard whimper
in the night.

How about just using a Drop Ship as the means of spawning in the game with the Drop Ship flying over the battle and the plays using the chain gun and power-ups on board to deliver death from above + new transport but at a cost the sky's must be friendly first.

  • 06.07.2009 6:33 PM PDT

I WOULD LOVE THAT BUT! ........ bungie never going to let us have pelicans

  • 06.07.2009 6:36 PM PDT

i think flying a pelican would be tight, but sadly some epic little noob would ruin it, because they would fly it off the edge, and it would work amazingly to splatter people with (team mates or enimies) so it might not work for that...
but i would love to fly a pelican.

i c wat u did ther

Anyway, I don't know to be honest. I would LOVE it if we could, but if we can't, I better at least be able to pilot a Longsword fighter. :)

Yes this is what i'm talking about if it can be done in a mod then surely it can be done in Halo Reach. I played custom edition and drove the pelicans/longswords/scarabs and they were pretty fun to play. You can't say Halo doesn't need a drivable pelican. Its something a lot of people want. This small vehicle addon would be amazing on a big map on CTF.
So PLEASE put this in the game.

Who else thinks Bungie should change Brig. Generals to look like this?

-Slindish

It is such a useless thing to implement into the game... i mean, why bother?
Thankfully, it will most likely never happen.

Why is it useless? As I said in my previous post it would fun to play on a big map. It is a transport vehicle and you could transort your whole team across the map. This is definately something to implement into the game.

The nerd knows

No, matter how much I'd love to have flyable pelicans, I just can't see the point.

Single player wise, what would be the point? They have hornets for that already.

Multiplayer wise, to make it practical they'd have to raise the maximum players, think about it. Your entire teams boards the pelican, enroute to the enemy flag, a little red light locks onto the engine. Several seconds later, the pelican explodes into a fireball and the enemy scores a killing frenzy with one shot.

It would be cool to play, and if Bungie can find a way to make it work I will love them even more for it, but I just can't see how it would work.

Dude your forgetting about the thrust and power a pelican might hold in it's a advanced engines. So surely it is possible

Wth? Pelicans can carry spartans, surely ou watch the cut scenes in ALL the games?

  • 06.08.2009 3:54 AM PDT

Damm it !, can`t a man have a biscuit !

Ive been hoping that Bungie would provide BTB with Pelicans or Phantoms since Halo2, on a massive MP map purely designed to get players working as a team and get themselves deliverd to the combat zone...or course the opposition have to defend...!
so many possibilites they maybe they thought we couldnt cope
