Subject: My one possibley great Idea that could turn Halo upside down.

I will find you doctor phil and i will destroy you

This is the idea I have for the pelican, it had been reviwed and revised countless times.
And I remeber posting this for Halo 3, trying to make my little pelican fly.
But it was grounded.
Here are the Ideas I have.

Ahem....
For this new game Reach I would hope to have a very large map with more Xbox Live support, possibley 24-32.
The Pelican will be armed with a 40mm cannon used for offense, and it is controlled by the co-pilot. It would have a slow fire rate but have decent power, it would have small blast damage it would have a rear machine gun providing the passengers with fire support.
The pelican will have a crew of 2, and six passengers. [5 seated 1 rear gunner.]
You could hook up a Scoprion or Hog to the back, and one mongose inside of the pelican.
[Possible Idea, 1 mongoose at the cost of two passengers. and all vechiles couldnt not be used while in flight.]
It would be controled the way a hornet is.


It would be damaged these ways:
Any serious weapons Rocket Launchers, Spartan Lasers, Scorpion tank shots, if there is damage to the engines it will gain or lose altitude and have a harder time turning.
[Usefull to stop a flag carrier from getting away...and realistic!]
Ways to be destroyed.
3 Rocket hits [One to the cockpit or one to the engine to cause failure or serious damage]
2 laser hits [unless in the cockpit]
2 scorpion hits [unless in the cockpit]
1 Wraith shot [becasue we now how hard it is to shoot down aircraft with a wraith]
I have no idea how you would board simply because
1. The Co-Pilot is like staring at you
2. The people in the back would be pretty pissed huh?


When the Pelican is critically damged, it won't blow up in mid air, but depending on the altitude it will flash a red light in the passenger compartment [pipes breaking and sparks add realism and extra warning] to get out and save yourself.
The pilot must eject the vechiles [if they are stored] or they will go down with the ship and be destroyed or heavily damaged.
[Pilot is doomed give him a salute while you bail]
When the damage is done the pelican will crash to the ground in an explosion

It is usefull to get your team from one side of the map to the other, and some strafing and vechile transport.

We could seriously fix the lag, the Kaos engine servers can host 50 players with green pun and great gameplay.
With MASSIVE maps.

Possible Ideas:
Closable rear or side doors for the pelican and phantom to protect the passengers, but it locks the weapons.
The Phantom is just like the Pelican , it fires the same amount of damage, can hold the same amount of people and can carry the same types fo vechiles covenant or human.

Edit
TO THE PEOPLE THAT KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT BEING IN MATCHMAKING! I SAID EARLIER ON THAT IT WOULD BE FOR CUSTOMS ONLY, READ THE WHOLE THING THANK YOU!

Edit
b] THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SAPCE BATTLES, JUST BECAUSE YOU FLY HORNETS ADN BANSHEES DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO GO INTO SPACE. [/b]

Flyable pelicans in Campaign? Yes.

Flyable pelicans in Matchmaking? NO.

  • 07.03.2009 8:24 PM PDT

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

You are all going home today, WITH A BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 07.03.2009 8:26 PM PDT

Oh yeah It's Rayzed.

Doesn't sound bad. Wraith could get a serious kill if it shot right into the passenger space of the Pelican. Driving a vehicle mid fligh is realistic. But if it's hooked t the bottom then you have to wait for the Pilot to release you. You could also get a Shot Down Medal for taking down the Pelican. The guns would have to be weakened for balance.

Check out my youtube vids and subscribe plox :D

if you want a video rendered but arnt pro, message me :D

I really like the idea, especially not being able to shoot as your driving (like how you have to have a co-pilot). Would be cool to play multi flag and the flags are in the pelicans (like elephants on sandtrap).

I could imagine it having its own mode, instead of being in match making.

Yep beastly ideas but if you guys could tell me the flaws it would help

I think the biggest problem would have to be the 24-32 player games which would create a ton of lag. Another reason is if you put the pelican in a map, you would have to make the map a colossal size, like Infinity from Halo:CE. This would make the ground infantry who don't have vehicles have to walk miles to get to the other base. These are probably the reasons Bungie does not want to release its holy grail.

I like that idea alot but the only flaw is would the pelican be splaterring people over and over.

  • 07.03.2009 11:38 PM PDT

WCS III

Suppose in campaign you had to rank up to unlock privliges such as flying a pelican at Gunnerary sgt., could be like COD/ some games where you rank up and earn awards. you could upgrade certain skill sets like speed, armor, accuracy....Or that could get retarded and screw up a possible game perk, still the pelican idea preety good

  • 07.04.2009 12:12 AM PDT

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

gotta hand it to the guy that made this thread that an insanely awesome idea a pelican would add some major insanity to online mode but the sad part is that graphics need a couple years .......maybe even decades to improve also the online laggage would need heavy tweaking to be able to support that many people but hey........its a great idea

a flaw is the driver is a -blam!- and he like doesn't eject the veicles or something like that.

Basically you want a fly Elephant but that can be destroyed. Also for the person that said 32 people would never work, it would if MS wasn't cheap. There are other games out there that allow for 1200 people on a server at a time with no lag at all. Oh also, this same idea has been brought up ever since Halo 2 was released, even before it's release.

I know that I want to have some of those epic fights that are described in the books with Longswords, Pelicans, Seraphs and all the rest. This would be great for the campaign.

In multiplayer i don't think that flight should be expanded much beyond the current methods unless there was a specific subset of game types that took place in space/in flight.

Although if we want to talk about a new way of playing maybe there could be pelicans and dropships that land the players onto the battlefield BEFORE the game starts to gain a specific tactical advantage (like picking where you want to make your base). This could also make the game kinda stupid and Halo Wars-esque, but if done properly it could open up a new style of play that has been unexplored yet.

Bungie has done a fairly good job with the series so far, but I do believe that players are getting bored with the same old shoot-this throw-that mechanics that it employs now.

this topic is not a bad one, but you have to think about balance of the game along with the ridiculous tactics that could turn some players off to the series all together. All in all, props for the innovative idea.

You do realise that you're not texting your buddies, you're typing on a forum? You have time to type. What is the benefit to typing: 'thts crazy ok 1 it lags with 16 wat thinks it will be better with 24 or more', when you cant almost as easily say: 'That's crazy. It lags with 16 people, do you think it will be better with 24 or more?'. Is it simply to save ten seconds of your life? Please, it's not hard to just put a bit of effort in.

When you say you never get lag, you mean you never notice lag. With 16 people, chances are one of them is gonna have a poor connection and foul up the game with lag. It is also unlikely that everyone who complains about Big Team lag has a bad connection.
