In The Fall of Reach, there is a human aircraft called the SkyHawk. But it's a super-sonic jump jet, so it would be unfair to other players if someone drove one of those in multiplayer...

I'm kind of wondering if they'll be adding the Covenant Seraph fighters from the book, that'd be pretty nice.

We do not know about any vehicle except : THE WARTHOG

Umm... yes we do, the Scorpion, the other hog variations and there's the ATV.

And about hearing about a human comeback to the banshee... they did say there will be, I remember it being in the Halo 2 FAQ/interview but i might be wrong

Now, the fact that whoever thought the only vehicle announced was the Warthog, that's just sad. As a quick note, it seems that the ATV is the one vehicle no-one has commented about, likely because of the fact of it not having any armament, etc. Maybe there could be a way to fire your gun in one hand while still driving, but you'd have to be in first person, which would mess up the driving system.

If you watch the halo 2 DDR thingy when you get close to a pelican in an updated multiplayer level it says press so-and-so button to enter. So I think you can fly a pelican dropship.

Ya, a human jet would rock, how funny would it be if also, it was indestructable, like The Hog and Scorpion from Halo 1. :-D I know...ya right, but hey, a man can dream, eh? I also think water craft would rule! In all the strategy games like Warcraft, I have always been a sucker for ships. A little human gunboat to zip around in would make my millenium. Its too bad that Bungie has already said that there will be no flying of Pelicans allowed.

No, I'm pretty sure they said that you could visit the front, but not fly it...There might be a few cinematics with MC piloting, but I don't think we will get to take the controls. Another thing I noticed in the E3 demo about the Pelican, was a pretty massive chain gun hanging from the ceiling. watch it and let me know what you think! I am thinking that Sarge stayed abored and manned it. If you look over MC's shoulder right before it goes 1st person, you can see a human shilohuette (spelling) standing behind a gun. It looks like the turret MC uses later in the demo.

In my opinion, the Pelican is and would be a prime example of a vehicle to use in Mulitplayer, but I'd rather have an agile aircraft to pilot, so the Banshee equivalent for the Humans, I'm all for. Depending on whether or not Bungie comes through with either 64 Players in a game, from what Mr L337 said, or 32 Players in a game from what I've heard, it'll have to depend on how big the Multiplayer maps become, if they're gigantic, go for it, otherwise, well, work on something else.

Yeah, that would be cool, that's what I was saying, if the maps end up being gigantic enough for Pelicans and Phantoms to fly around, Bungie should go for it, it'd make a true battlefield feel in Multiplayer matchs. I mean, you could have your own miniature war from server to server.

Ya, pelicans would be awsome, but what if it got shot down? With 12 of your teammates aboard? Wow, that makes me want them in mulitplayer even more :) Quadruple Killtacular! Alright!

If they keep with the Human Vs Covenant multiplayer battles, air vehicles would be a must. I can picture it now Human flying vehicle fighting banshees with warthogs and shadows fighting on the ground.

Yeah, I don't see why hardly anyone wants to believe the whole Spartans Vs. Covenant thing, in the first Multiplayer screenshot that was released, you could see an Elite holding a Needler in the background and stuff. Proof enough?

Well, in the June 2003 edition of Official Xbox Magazine, a little note at the bottom of one of the pages about Halo 2 said that the dropships won't be pilotable. Not sure, though, might be different now. Personally I think that flying a drop ship especially in the Single Player would screw it up because you could fly off the map and see the intestines of the level... which personally (again) I think screws up the fun of the game... seeing the secrets.

No, that was a Spartan, not an Elite.

Really, I could have sworn it looked like an Elite. Well, thank you for correcting me Miyagi.

As does everyone who has posted in this thread, well most of them at least.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

About the MC vs. Covie thing...Hasn't Bungie said that would be in multiplayer...correct me if I'm wrong.
