Subject: Hopefully a Pelican mission?!

If you already live in heaven, Where do you go when you die?

PeliCAN'T

do you know how impossibly hard creating good working physics for flying such a load of bolts would be? And do you also know how little we would ACTUALLY get to effectively use something like that in a Halo game?... multiplayer or not. The thing is just too damn big.

Even if you could fly the god forsaken thing in Halo 3 maps... the only two maps you could ever comfortably fly it in would be sandtrap and sandbox. Even VALHALLA is a bit small for the flying turd...

Having such a large set of wings would force level designers to increase the size of all the levels, campaign and customs, to gigantic (bigger than Godzilla's ass) proportions... making the budget go to -blam!- and turning all the rest of the game, graphics included, into little more than a boring game of tetris

Death to rank junkies.

There are loads of maps where you can fly a Pelican in Halo Custom Edition.

Nvm. Ignore this.

This space is now for rent. Good rates at only $9.99 a minute!

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

I could just see it now: Pick up marines. Drop marines off. Do it again. And maybe one more time.

Yeah.. no. A pelican is a dropship. Not a combat vehicle. Driving one would involve the driver to do what a Pelican's made for: dropping people off.

Maybe you'd shoot some guys on your way in with the turret and missile launcher in the front, but not much more than that.

Yeah... and have you seen the graphics of Halo Custom Edition? if they tried to make a Custom-edition-sort-of Halo game with todays graphics... the poor sucker would just destroy the internet and lag your computers (or gaming consoles) to a grinding, horrific halt...

An unlikely, but workable idea would be like in CoD4. Being the Pelican's gunner in the beginning of the mission, then getting out and fighting.
