like how sandtrap has the elephant as a special vehicle maybe there could be a map with two pelicans that can hold 5 people or a warthog or a scorpian or 2 mongooses and always a pilot and a gunner to operate and fire missles but can be destroyable

No. Pelicans would not be balanced or useful in any stretch of the imagination. Just stand on top of the pelican on Vahalla and make whooshing noises.

I agree 100%.
Campaign? Great Idea.
Multiplayer? Absolutely not.

We don't even know how this plays. Supposely its rumored from E3 that reach is suppose to be a relaunch of the series in a way, so I wouldn't rule anything out.

This game might be a squad based larger battle game, so if it has a 32player game in there, i can see a pelican being usefull

what r u talking about?pelican in the missions are the easiest things to shot down, they always are blown up by bashees,and they only carrier max 6 people on ea side,and their really not that big if u get the chance to just look at them,maybe not sandtrap but sandbox or avalanche! a spartan lazer,missile pod and rocket launcher would take down a pelican in 2-3 shot

the pelican would be could like that one guy said in a 32 v 32 battle and can be destroyed with two spartan laser shaots and 4 rockets from a rocket launcher on a really big vehicle based map

I also agree 100% it would be awesome if they had pelicans in any part of the game

I think the Pelican would be an awesome idea. But I do agree it will be unbalanced. Maybe Bungie can find some way to make it like the Hornet Transport. A weaker Turret and maybe weak rockets as well. Or no rockets at all.

waz up

has anyone thought about maby the same way that the firebombs were in multiplayer? customs only and placed in forge

if the pelican would be on a multiplayer map for a purpose it would be used to reinforce and issue the scorpion and other vehicles and it would be used todrop drop pods to the firefight and be used for ctf is there is ctf-i doubt it- but bungie knows whats right and will give us the holy pelican if we dont beg............

the pelican is one fine flying can for many perposes and has a red arrow above it in indivisuality and besides we should not cry nor wheep- you could play halo ce pelican and its esier to fly than one in the console............

neither dev mode or aimbot devils match the greatness of the pelican. the phantom is not as special-ask yourselfes- why is the pelican better? well for many reasons. the pelican and phantom are way too alike-as if between halo 1 and 2 the covenant took a drawing of a pelican, stretched it out, made a bigger nose and opened the sides.the pelican is better because it looks as if we couls make the pelican woth tech now-it would be possible, just less monuverable and slower and way too $$$.....................

the phantom is worse because it holds fourteen more? because it has six suckers to hold a wraith or 6 ghosts? because it has 2 turrets while the pelican has one? why is the pelican better -REALLY why? you should respect the covenants ideas and how they look and move and speak what if halo was never made, life would be all nintendo, get that in now and join my server on halo pc please and you actually read this- thank you

I have no idea what your point is or what your talking about

A mythic member but I speak my mind to much.

Tho would be pretty cool if the pelican was an AI that followed a set schedule and dropped people at 1 of 2 locations depending on when in the pattern the people were picked up. It would be like a teleporter or a man cannon, just inside a pelican and everyone can still see you.

Just drive a vehicle under the pelican drop stop and what ever is there gets magnitized to it. There would be a few seconds for everyone to press X and hope in. After that, they have no control over what the Pelican does.

Would be nice if the Pelican could be destroyed too, like cutting of the transport systems. Leaving the other team to wait of reinforcements to arrive.
