Quick question; How drunk are you right now?

Drunk on Game Fuel maybe, otherwise no.

This is serious, wouldn't riding a Drone be SiCK?
which one, red or blue?

Peace is a lie,
there is only passion
through passion i gain strength
through strength i gain power
through power i gain victory,
through victor my chains are broken,
the force will free me.
Rule of two.
There should be two. no more no less,
one to embody the power, and one to crave it.

Ride them? no i dont think so but i do wish you had to fight them more then the three time i can think of in halo 3 also seeing engineers would be nice

but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

Press RB to saddle drone.

Press LT to melee

Press B to plant grenade
(Boxer controls of course)


this would be hilarious hop on one and beat it down like the Prophet of Regret!

That would be awesome. Heck, we should be able to do that with Grunts too.
Great thinking!

As cool as it would be to fly around on a drone I find it would contradict what it says in the Field Armory.

They always travel in groups of four or more, are well disciplined, and extremely aggressive. Drones are best described as irregular troops their high morale and fierceness may be biochemical in nature.

So I'm not sure how a ODST will be able to get on the Drone then let alone fly it around the city.

Only if you could have a second player able to board, in the way that you can have a gunner on the mongoose, to operate the picnic table.

Well you see, with the Drone's capable claws, you could easily pick up a fellow ODST by the shoulders and have him drop land mines, or anything similar really.

And to odmichael, agreed! These Drones have a very high potential to deliver the goods. A lot of people seem to worry about the controls however, which is a shame. I mean, the left analog stick could be which direction the Drone would move in, it would be the horizontal controls, and the right stick would be for up and down movements, the vertical controls. Holding RB would get you on the Drone of course, and holding RB while on the Drone would have you get off. It would almost be like a mount in The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, except, more like Yoshi.

  • 06.22.2009 12:58 PM PDT

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

Yes, but will there be drone tricks, like barrel rolls and loop-de-loops? Also, what about a speed boost?

The bold/underlined words show to me that this only supports the Drones and their flight capabilities. As far as traveling with four or more, you could easily demolish three and leave the fourth stuned, on the ground, to yourself. To heal your 'Droshi', you could bring it to the Optican MediGel First Aid stations around the city. I don't want to go too far out in thinking that these sporadic creatures are rather easy to manipulate, much like the Grunts and how they were forced to fight along side the Covenant, or the Jackals and how they are able to sway to whichever side gives them the most benefits. Just keep the Drone in constant action, and heal him when he is low on health (Almost like in the Pokemon series, but that is a whole new idea/system/game)

No speed boosts that I know of, I feel like that would be asking for too much from the Drones. I haven't really figured out the physics behind doing a 'loop-de-loop' on a Drone yet, but something tells me that the risk for the ODST to fall off is way too high. Maybe through the use of the left and right triggers, you could have the drone do quick aerial sidesteps. I feel as though the Drone would render the driver unable to use weapons, much like the Mongoose.

as much as i love your passion, i don't think it would be sick.

i mean who in their right mind would ride a giant bug a 100ft in the air that has ripped people apart.

Yeah. His spelling and gramma' was good. So maybe it is possible to get high on pure love of the game. Maybe i should try that some time... *Sniffles 3 times, twitches 2 times, and then just stares into space*

It's a good Idea don't know if it'll pull through.

Hehe, nice one Slayer. Sounds like a good idea. I tried pressing "RB" next to a drone on Crow's Nest by the way. I beat it to death.

=S

Just dawned on me, instead of using the SMG to stun the Drones, you could easily use the Plasma Pistol. In Halo 3, when a vehicle is hit with a Plasma Pistol burst it gets stunned/gummed up for a short time. Why couldn't a Plasma Pistol burst do the same to a Drone?

I see this being fully possible, even canonical.

Get owned.

what are you smoking?
