Hi peoplz

I was mad when i learned you could not control pelican on Halo wars

Yet the Pillar of Autumn had Pelicans and they carried Master Chief around. What you are saying makes no sense.

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."
I think he's talking about the actual animal a pelican. lol

Pelicans great idea! But you need to be able to fly a banshee like a real fighter plane, doing complete flips instead of just flying straight up, they also need to have a Hawk or Shortsword bomber for halo reach so that the humans arnt just flying tanks.

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'M GONNA CUT YOUR NAME RIGHT INTO HIM!

Not sure how effective a longsword would be in multiplyer? Could'nt really see one realistically being used in a game of CTF? A pelican would work though I reckon.

I hope not in Multiplayer, but hopefully in a level or two of Campaign. Like banshees in Combat Evolved.

In the Fall of Reach it states that one pelican carried more than twenty Spartans, a couple of crew members, and Dr. Halsey right after the Spartans were fitted in their new suits.

I think that Pelican had an extended seating arrangement. Someone has some pictures of what the addition attachment looks like somewhere.

Just like in Halo 1?

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Hey, I have a serious question.

How would you get into the cockpit? How that matter, how would you get into the passenger seats? I mean, maybe not a Pelican, but a pelican prototype?

You know...doors can be opened?

  • 07.09.2009 10:02 AM PDT

Real men use magnums.

seriously guys, let it go. for some reason people have been begging for this and duel wielding swords since before halo 2. i really doubt its gonna happen and i don't understand why everyone wants it so bad.

  • 07.09.2009 10:15 AM PDT

Flyable pelicans would be MLG LEGIT PRO but it would be hard for bungie to program and they would have to program phantoms. the maps would have to be 10 times bigger than the sandbox with the lasers blocked. and bungie will be like pelicans are to bad ass for you to fly.

And I believe the phrase is, oddly as it sounds "sitting down". :O

Well, it's not impossible, I suppose.

But I'm not holding my breath.


No please dont, this war has seen enough dead heros :D
That's from somewhere in halo...did cortana say that near the beginning of Combat Evolved?


Yeah, when Keyes wanted to crash land on the ring (I think).

Also, I don't think pelicans would be that un-balanced...they are pretty slow, have very little weaponry relative to their size, and are very visible.


I dont think they lightly armed:

1 Chin-mounted Rotary-cannon:
40mm Rotary-cannon (optional)
70mm Rotary-cannon (optional)
2 ANVIL-II ASM Pods (6 missiles each)
1 AIE-486H HMG

if anything I think they might be too heavily armed but I think its slow speed would balance that out.

Trust me, a Longsword would destroy that thing. A Pelican is only usable as a transport vehicle, since its hull strength would be too low to go into combat, the cannons are there to protect the Pelican while its transporting troops. I think Longswords usually escort them since they are more properly armed.
