it would be awsome but nobody would use it as a transport i would and u should be a bot game becouse it would be too lagy hor 15 vs 15 awsome idea i would agree

thats why we should have servers and i think it should be like a re spawn so if you get spawn killed to many times you get to be dropped off by a pelican

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Nahh. Have any of you seen the loadout on those things? OP much.

Play Metropolis on Halo 2, and at the Scarab part, go all the way to the end, you will see this payload. The Pelican can fire around 8 Missile Pod shots SIMULTANEOUSLY, has twin Machine Guns on the front, and a Chaingun Turret mounted on the back. That translates to being TOO STRONG.

It would basically be an end all death machine, WORSE than the normal Hornet.

that's why i said take off the missiles and make the chain gun and normal turrets just like a hornets

The maps would have to be bigger then, as they are, they are much too small to support Pelicans.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't need huge flying chunks of noob splattering me in the face.

Unless the maps were as big as they were in halo custom edition with jets and longswords to even it out, and the main focus air vehicles, it wouldnt work out.

The Bring Back Bloodgulch Group have many members looking for more its kind of an unofficial petition to Bungie to bring back Bloodgulch in Reach http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/bx3g/Group/GroupHome.aspx

2 big problems :

1st and foremost : what if bungie doesn't make a 15 vs 15? but instead stays to 8v8 at maximum?
(H3 is barely capable of having a 5v5 lagfree game...)

2nd : pelicans and phantoms would be flying tanks. people would take one, and then be like "gtfo my tanks" and wouldn't use it as a transport.
not even mentioning the fact if a pelican gets shot down, it's a +16 kills for the enemy...


I have lag free games all the time don't blame Bungie for your connection ;)

Pelicans/Phantoms - Would be great for Campaign and would be completely awful for matchmaking.

  • 09.16.2009 4:14 PM PDT

Hope to someday work at this place! :)

I say YES to the flyable pelican idea, but why screw it up with all those combat/recon/bomber types? Treat it like a flyable elephant. The driver could have (non-homing) missile launchers a most, and maybe a chain gun mounted on the back for a passenger, but I'd keep it simple, maybe removing the missiles altogether. The pelican would be used as mass-transportation over HUGE maps, not a power weapon to bomb the heck out of enemies. I'd also add a Covenant Spirit to counter it. Who knows Reach's new engine's potential?
What would be REALLY cool would be drivable Scarabs!

Although, it work work out for campaign.

People keep saying they are flying tanks but it dose not have to be the same pelican as in single player. Just stick the turret on the back and there you go. It could be brought down by 3 lazer shots. And the 16 kills ting. That is a problem but big team is more for fun that anything. I would take 16 kills against me for a flyable pelican.

Edit. Or to solve your huge kill problem just make it like an elaphant. It dose not die. It just has a turret on the back and the team spawns it it sometimes....Mass transport but not deadly.

The last time I tried to make a quote, a car smashed through my wall and the tire hit my grandmother in the other room. But for those of you who can haz once more between five, I say it will be five between seven divided by zero multiplied by Chick Norass and Broce Tee.

We have 2 major problems with that:
1: In order to have that option the map would need to be as big as ODST's New Mombasa. And that's 1 freaking HUGE map. You cannot make a map that big without it having a 50v50 playlist, which is currently technologically impossible.

2: People would rely on it way too much and unless its a weak pelican, it would be an unstoppable force much like a banshee and people would use it to splatter you.

can you be more specific!?!?

  • 09.17.2009 12:25 PM PDT

­"You have to aim above the head, but then a little lower so you actually get it."

-John Mayer

Maps would have to be enormous. This idea was all over the forums when Halo 2 was coming out, and then again when Halo 3 was. It wont happen unless a map is massive. Like Sandtrap x3.

There are pelicans in Halo Custom Edition, but the maps are enormous and very much centered around vehicles.
