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

the flaw is you should be able to drive it with 3 pepole in it including co pilot and passenger beacuse a retard would take it and not do anything and also be able to pick up veicles and bungie should also make the servers bigger and try to make the lag less lag so we could all enjoy imagine like tanks 3 tanks attaking the base a pelican come in the air drops like 4 troops then enmy warhogs come attempting to kill the reinforcement and they falil and the pelican goes back to base to pick up troops and a warhog which the driver can attach and detach and on the way the enemy come with a phantoms to attak their base and the pelican guy adiveses their teamates alot of enemy is coming to their base and start running the new aa turet.



Recon Pelican- This Pelican is Black and smaller then the others, and has no deffense system meaning. No turret in the back and the pilot cannot control any turrets. But also it is alot faster then the others and does not show up on normal radars.

* Bombing Pelican- This Pelican has a Missle Pod in the back instead of a turret. Also The Pilot does not have any turret system but instead has bombs drop. They will be similar to rock launcher but with a bigger blast radius and they have a extreme arc. This Pelican cannot hold any passengers. And it moves alot slower then all the other making it the slowest Pelican.

* Normal Pelican- This is the standard Pelican with a turret in the back, co-pilot, and pilot. The Pilot does not control any turrets but the co-pilot does. Holds 6 passengers.


The Stealth Phantom- This will be the match for the Recon Pelican, But it is dark purple. It will have the ability to go invisible for short spurts wich the pilot controls by pressing LB. It will be slower then the Recon Pelican but the invisability will make up for it. It will not be shown on normal radars, only enhanced. The weapon racks will also be equipped with Brute, and normal Plasma Rifles, and plasma Pistols.

* The Bomber Phantom- This will match the Bomber Pelican. The Two Turrets on the side wil be equipped with Fuel Rod like Turrets. Similar to the onces on the AA Wraith. But the Plasma will Travel just as fast as a rocket launcher but as much damage as a Fuel Rod Gun. Making it not OP. The Turrets will fire Plasma bullet every second. The Phantom will also be green, as seen in the campaign level The Covenant. It will also be equipped with Fuel Rod Guns, Beam Rifles and Carbines. It is also the slowest Phantom.

* Normal Phantom- Same as the normal Phantom with all the features including vehicle pick up/ drop off, 3 Turrets and passengers. Just like all the other Phantoms. It will be purple and be equipped with Carbines, normal Plasma Rifles and grenades.


and the normal pelicans and phantom can carry 2 small viechels inside and a big one in the outside

I have a feeling that there are in fact going to be pelicans in Halo:Reach. For starters Pelicans played a huge role in Halo: The Fall of Reach and if this game is a parallel to that book than we know we're going to be using a lot of Pelicans. As for flying them it is more unlikely. That would cause for larger than life battle fields (which lag) not to mention on multiplayer that calls for more players on the map and unless bungie completely redoes their server system to support that many players than it seems impossible

flyable pelicans.......hmmm...........great idea, and i heard someone say once that space battles would be good, no they wouldn't, sorry but it wouldn't fit right, if you've read the books, you should know that spartans dont like flying in space, they cant stand not having their feet off the ground, so even banshees and hornets or even pelicans seems a little off of the story

I like that idea alot but the only flaw is would the pelican be splaterring people over and over.
If it did that, though, it would be an easy target to be shot by everything on the ground and would blow up instantaneously. It would be cool though if it went faster with less payloads. Great idea...

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

It could either be awesome or totally retarded. And it would definintely mean a whole new definition to the meaning of Big Team battle.

I'd like to try it though.. maybe with 16v16 or higher.

And to board it could be like boarding a wraith or a tank. You beat down the cockpit until he's dead, or you throw a grenade in there.

Before anyone gets their hopes up, you all should be discussing how Bungie can better their servers. Because based on what we see with 8v8 halo 3, there is no way there will ever be pelicans outside of campaign.

We all know that Spartans will get the job done no matter what, a joy ride in a pelican may be the thing that gets the mission accomplished.

I was the one that initially talked about the space battles.

First off, I wasn't saying that the SPARTANs would be piloting the ships in space. Secondly, I just wanted to see the battles, if that doesn't include me in the firefight in orbit we should at least see some of the vehicles and have them identified possibly in a cut scene. My imagination is great, but I wanna see what Bungie was thinking a longsword would be.

what does flying a pelican have to do with space battles?
everyone flies hornets, but they dont do space battles...

  • 07.05.2009 11:25 PM PDT

I just threw it out there in an earlier post. Also, pelicans are involved in orbital battles if they are delivering a payload like, say, SPARTANs from a position in orbit even if they are just trying not to get shot. They have weapons too. In one of the books one was involved in a rather important attempt to secure a covenant flagship.

The map could possibley even this out with tanks, guass hogs, and lots of weapons

I read the books and realizied that, but I agree a space battle would be retarded.
No space battle's, just map battles, with set heights and boundries.

Will the Pelican actually be a match for the Phantom...? Because the only thing the Phantom has is 3 turrets. And i would like to see your phantom idea to please :).


Working on phantom idea, phantom would be match for pelican, and it would be based on luck and skill on who dies and who doenst.

Ok nice sounds good



idealy the idea would be that they are the exact same thing but look diffrent, no perks just diffrent looks and sounds

  • 07.05.2009 11:43 PM PDT

Thats a really good idea, but it would have to be in a seperate playlist/gametype, and definately in campaign. A lot of inbalanced ends, sure, but Bungie can easily tie them up. Maybe maps for pelicans would have seperate maps....
