There are so many people going nuts over the Recon permutation. WHY? In my opinion the Mark IV is the one and only armor. I might be biased though because the Mark IV looks so much like an MX helmet, and I'm an MX fan.

Anyway, after all the joy and entertainment Bungie has given me over the years, I hope they can keep it coming!

One way they could do that is to provide us with a driveable Lonsword, or equivalent UNSC fighter.

Am I alone? Or are there other Spartans out there longing for a Longsword?

Oops my bad. I meant 6 (VI).

I wish I was still legendary.

Mark VI is pretty iconic, I agree. But longswords are just too powerful for an FPS, especially seeing as they can blow a hole in the back of a covenant carrier, right near the core. If you REALLY need to fly one, buy Halo PC and download custom edition/apocalypse hugeass. That one's relatively accurate to canon, and gives an idea on why they wouldn't work.

I see your point, and I did consider that a little. Jets didn't really work for me in Bttlefield 1942. I would however still like to see some kind of useable UNSC fighter other than the hornet.

The one and only pelican.Imagen you driving your teammates to the the battle and dropping them a hog or a tank.And a phantom for the other side if its a team game.
p.s. the phantom will have ghosts and tanks.

No. A pelican would be unbelieveably broken.

Look. You know the banshees in campaign? Do those AI ever try to splatter you by boosting at you from the air? Do humans that control those vehicle ever try to splatter you by boosting at you from the air?

Why do you think the pelican / phantom will be any different? Its impossible to dodge, they will just fly it above the ground and clip your head off with a slight bump.

That, and its not a good idea to put all you eggs in one basket.

It's cherry, tastes like strawberry, looks like watermelon, and you think it's raspberry just because.

Why would you drop a vehicle if they spawn all around the map. I used to agree with the thing about having a Pelican and a Phantom, even if they were destructible. But now, after reading some of the arguments, I don't think that Bungie should put them in. You already have the Hornet (on the subject of the Hornet, definitely no Hawk. Imagine someone with an unlimited amount of Spartan Laser, and in the air) and the Banshee, so you don't need any other air vehicles.

What if its a game mode where only they have vehicles =D.

One does not simply walk into Halo.

Longsword was the one vehicle I was waiting to fly. I know that you can get it on the Custom Edition map hugeass, but I would love the feel of a modern Halo game that actually allows you to use a Longsword. However, we don't know anything about how large maps are, etc. so if we are comparing it to Halo 3, it would be overpowered due to the relatively small maps and small amount of larger maps. Also, it would take enormous maps to pilot a Longsword.
