what if the pelican in multiplayer was AI controlled and there needed to be at least half of the people in the pelican to press a button for the pelican to lift off and if it was taking considerable damage it would pull into cover unload the troops and retreat. also if there was a button on the d-pad that let you call for weak AI reinforcements and a `hog dropped from a pelican or for an evac from the pelican

AI reinforcments sounds really interesting for an extremely large map like that. But an AI pilot would be quite problematic. The AI could have glitches in the programming or mis-interperate its designation and if it had 1 set destination, the entire enemy team could simply camp there until it landed and pick off your team. And the AI could quite possibly do what ALL good AI's do once and a while. Get stuck on nothing. Leaving the entire team defencless and rendering the pelican a sitting duck a well as an easy target.

I think the only way this could work would make it for a specific map sort of like the elephant for Sandtrap. Seeing as you would need to design the map around something like the pelican.

it would have to have a gunner in the back or FPS view from all the passengers.

you should have another vote being pelican in certain areas. campaign i think it would be real fun and forge ya but no actually muliplayer unless it would be 100 v 100 or 32 v32 but with warthogs and other vehicles on the back the would be sweet.

Wort wort wort!

Here is a thing I made: Linkage

Here is a Leet I made: Link BLARGH

I R SAY TEH HIS ASWELL

Oh God yes! PLEEEEEASE! In the Campaign that'd be beast!

  • 07.18.2009 8:39 AM PDT

Yea it'd be da beast

  • 07.18.2009 9:54 AM PDT

Actually, there could just be more teleporters. P.S. The Pelican idea rocks!

campaign it has weapons like rocket and machine guns, multiplayer only have machine guns,(pullin a halo 2) and can hold 8 passengers and 1 drivere, maybe a co-pilot ,too.

they could do what they did with the elephant, put it on one gigantic map, or jus put it oon gigantic maps, i would also like to see it forgeable (two or three max)

"Thoughts are the shadows of feelings; always darker, emptier, and simpler."

I'll give an honest answer: They'd be awesome in campaign maybe, but they are in no way suited for online multiplayer. Imagine the lag from dozens of pod rockets being launched accross the map by a single Pelican.

Picture a Lime with a ninja mask on it with two katanas strapped across its back.

Pelicans in matchmaking= AWSOMENESS! it would be really cool if you could sit in the wharthog thats connected to the back of the pelican and shoot out from there while flying.

  • 07.18.2009 11:53 AM PDT

That sounds reasonable. But I honestly enjoy the idea of making the pelican placeable in forge unlike the elephant. It would make games much more tactical. You could have one large force engage the enemy from the front while the other pelicans fully loaded go behind and flank the enemy team. And it would be a nice touch to have in machinimas

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

Guys... How many times in Campaign have you seen the Pelican crash or fail to land properly? It would be retarded if they put it in MM. Campaign only!

And do I have to stress how large a Pelican is in comparison to other vehicles? It'll take up a good portion of the map and will be giant target just waiting to get lasered.

Well the pelicans already do play. I do not see them driving down the street.... so I think your problem is now solved. Carry on my wayward son.

I was comparing the Pelican to Banshees, Hornets, and every other vehicle in MM. Not some car you see on the road.

Nice.

It all depends on the weapons and armor. It cant be too powerful otherwise whoever has the pelican wins the game unless someone finds a Spartan laser or a Rocket launcher. It can't be too weak otherwise you have a few thousand angry fans on your hands. If you are using a Halo:CE style pelican it would work since there was only a chain gun, no missiles to make it an attack ship rather than a dropship.

it would just be the halo equivilant of a helicopter in battlefield 2, or others, and they worked pretty well

You can ride in the seat out of the map in Metropolis. When the pelican drops the tank off, stand under the pelican, jump, and press X and you're in. It will crash outside the map though.

get out of here stalker

Worst case scenario if there will be a pelican- Flying over a cliff and ejecting when it's got full passengers.
