if you dont see that coming at you and get splattered, you deserve it.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I think it is possible.

Hey, try this:

Play on an empty sandox and get a friend in forge to spawn a scorpion tank and have him hold it as the monitor. Starting from one end of the dunes, run to the other, while your friend tries with all of his might to swing the tank and splatter you.

The pelican is a wall of metal, the tank is a wall of metal, you can see it coming at you, so obviously you'll be able to jump out of the way just as easily as you make it sound. Only a noob wouldn't be able to dodge the tank right?

Post a video of epic dodging skills and then we can continue talking about how the Pelican or Phantom would be completely broken in multiplayer.

For campaign where the only feelings being hurt are computers? Sure. In multiplayer? Can't be balanced.

PROTIP: the pelican is nowhere near as maneuverable as a monitor holding a tank

your point is now invalid.

Cool. Its not invalid. You still won't be able to dodge it. Even if it moves half the speed that the monitor can swing it.

you are missing the point
the pelican cant turn on a dime.
if you cant get out of the way, you deserve to be hit, thats all there is to it.

No it cant turn on a dime but if it zeros in on a person, theres no stoping it. All it has to do is make a minor adjustment to the left or right to hit its target.

The banshee can't turn on a dime either when it is boosting yet it seems to do a pretty damn good job, and its tiny compared to the Pelican.

in which case you change direction. its really not as hard as you guys are making it seem.
besides maps would be bound to have trees and rocks and structures etc. so the only place you would really have to worry about being hit by a pelican would be in wide open spaces, which would be a bad place to be regardless.

the banshee is completely different from the pelican, its extremely easy to maneuver.
when you try to splatter someone with the banshee, (if youre not an idiot) you generally boost when youre close enough that theres nothing they can do, as opposed to boosting from half way across the map and being unable to turn

you guys are really over-thinking this

  • 09.03.2009 11:59 PM PDT

The Beta is super awsome........BUNGIE RULES!!!!!!!

it's not an easy splatter. cause you have to pull a trigger to go up abd down and stick to go foreward and back. but also it's a not so fast transport flying vehicle, if you hit the ground you will slow down. but to keep it from a splatter weapon, thay could make it get damaged from hitting the ground (as when you are on your way to splatter)

i personally dont care how it would be balanced, i'd just like to drive one

  • 09.04.2009 4:08 AM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Take the word Pelican. Add some letters, take some away. Rearrange and what do you get?

Overpowered.

leave it to bungie, they balanced out H3 perfectly (in my opinion) im sure they could do something, such as take away the firepower, they could make it so that you have to crashland, so you only get one chance to fly it, the hatch only opens when you crash or when it respawns, make the cockit glass VERY breakable, and viola! a new vehicle. as for the phantom, well, you could have one driver, one gun controller and the passengers.
