Subject: We can fly a Pelican? *Updated with image*

In the newest ViDoc, when you see Buck and Romeo at the landing pad,a Pelican comes in, which Buck hails as Mickey, another ODST. Now we all know Mickey used to be a Pelican pilot, so it makes sense.

What if, in the previous flashback before Romeo's one, we play as Mickey and have to fly the Pelican? It's a long shot, but it's the best evidence we've got so far.

Thoughts?

Edit - More evidence? Below is a picture of a Pelican taking at a different launch site, and we see it take off as Buck is describing Mickey. We can see the words POLICE on the side too. Perhaps this is Mickey taking off from the ONI Alpha Site with Dutch, after the Dutch flashback. It would make sense, considering they would have Pelicans there.

Possibly - no strong evidence as of now, but it is plausible. And I do believe Dutch is in there with Mickey... I think I caught Buck say that.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

I remember this being brought up before.
I haven't watched the vidoc yet (downloading now), but if they have Mickey fly a pelican, I see it happening.

That's a pretty good idea, and then he flashes back to it.

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

It could be possible. It said Micky could piolet stuff.

I doubt it, as soon as the banshee downs the pelican and a little dialogue it switches to Romeo's HUD. I'm guessing its a sniper rescue but I could be wrong

Damn, rescue mission, that always means you have to protect someones most likely useless rear end and if they die *YOUZ PHAILEDZ DA MISSIONZ*. At least it's with a sniper, though.

It's likely just a scripted event in a cutscene. However, if we do get to, I WILL LOVE BUNGIE FOREVAR.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

No,it said he could pilot it but he was TRAINED TO BLOW STUFF UP. That means rockets and other highly explosive devices. Not including the pelican they wouldn't let us drive it before they won't now or atleast not in this one.

We can dream, can we not?

I hope we don't have to fly a pelican. If Halo Custom Edition taught us anything, it is that piloting Pelicans suck.

  • 07.30.2009 6:31 AM PDT

I remember Bungie once saying that the first flashback is we find a sniper rifle hanging from a lampost and that leads to Romeo's flashback...

  • 07.30.2009 6:34 AM PDT

What would also be cool is if we are on the back turret and we fly around killing covies
