I think pelicans (human dropships) are great and was wondering if it was just me or did anyone else want to fly them? a bit like the wraith (covenat tank) It would be especially amazing over xbox live, how much fun would it be to transport your team to the other base and have them jump out the back? Also the fun in nose diving it into the ground to kill an enemy! and ther can be a gunner in the back. So who wants to fly one?

You better be able to fly pelicans 'cos i have been looking forward to this all the time since i started hearing roumers about it. if they dont put it in i am not going to like halo 2. i always dreamed of flying pelicans and getting out of sticky situations by carrying my team mates out of the battle and then firing from the turret in the back to give them support. if they dont have it then it is a must have to put into the game, so if anyone who works at bungie is looking at this thay have to put it in!!! please put it in, i beg you!! :(

Heh... Well, they most likely need some type of human flight-oriented vehicle to counter the Banshee in Multiplayer, something with speed. Banshees are nice, but slow, if you think about it. Perfect target for a scorpion tank. Heh. It'll never happen, but a mini-Longsword Fighter would be cool.

I know that we wont be able to in campaigns but it would be cool to be able to fly them in multiplayer, if not some other aircraft.

it would be nuts to use them in multi. that would be so intense. Even though if you landed near some one with a flamer... pretty much a free 8 kills.

Please let us have pelicans it would be so much fun and a vehical selecter so you can select what vehicals are on the map in each game also there should be a weapons selector!

yea but as someone said (Stosh?) When you talk about flying into someones base kicking ass then eveacing wit ht flag you seem to forget that the enmy will be firing. A pelican is a huge target very slow and one rocket and you got a killtaculer. The tactic of dropping in taking flag etc will be so obvious that whenever someone sees a Pelican it will be liquidated out of the sky. Although the RAF is better than the army MC is a soldier not a flyboy.
And yes Frankie did say Pelicans are NOT in halo 2.

your probably right but what about the render of him sitting in the pilots seat of a pelican and also the E3 demo of him being dropped in, in a pelican but dont forget as you said its a big target and remember what goes up must come down! ouch

Main problems with flying a pelican, a) walls
b)grenades and rockets
c)the pilot getting killed and people fall out the back

Multiplayer would be more wild and even more team oriented if they were in!! God with this many complaints I thought Bungie would of said yes to it.

Pelicans in Halo 2? I don't think so. I can't think of a situation where you'd need to in the campaign, and having them in multiplayer is just ridiculous. I think they should stick to the AI driving the pelican.

Pelicans aren't much fun to fly...
They are to vulnerable in multiplayer.
