In my opinion I think they should add in the Pelican as a vehicle. Vote on the poll and add any vehicle you want made up or not.

I'd also like to add that you can message me on Bungie.net or on my gamertag if you want talk more or on anything else.

This has been asked so many times...

They can't put it in mulitplayer with the size of the maps they have now.
Perhaps if Bungie added in a level the size of downtown New Mombasa then this could be possible yes but too many things can, could, and would go wrong with the aircraft.

Altogether, good idea. You've earned yourself 1 Internetz.

Tell me OP, have you ever had a friend spawn a scorpion tank in forge and try to swing it around as the monitor in a attempt to splatter you while you were running around as a human?

It would be like that, except that the flying wall of metal also has guns. Would be the easiest splatter spree ever.

In other words, it would be broken for multiplayer. Campaign? Sure. Multiplayer? No thanks.

  • 09.06.2009 5:04 PM PDT

ya i think they should but could only use it in a big map and it would have 2 b super underpowered like only guns on it is a machine gun turret on each side that some1 else has 2 b on

  • 09.06.2009 5:05 PM PDT

yes, but if you try to splatter someone with it you will crash/burn/splode/die, that way no -blam!- splatter fest

I think it should be only in one or two maps that are huge, sort of like the Elephant is only in Sandtrap in Halo3.

The Pelican SHOULD NOT have its rockets it should have a turret in the back like in campaign and thats all it would have :P

  • 09.06.2009 5:16 PM PDT

Check out The Game Lounge

That would be awesome!!!! Think of CTF......

  • 09.06.2009 6:30 PM PDT

No, a pelican would be a near pointless vehicle to operate and would be hard to work into gameplay as an operatable vehicle.

Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I AGREE WITH THIS ENTIRELY

you people dont seem to realize, a pelican CANNOT turn on a dime, and besides, a pelican shouldnt be flying at ground level anyway, thats completely retarded, there is so much cover, let alone structures like rocks and trees etc.

It would be used for transport only

Its massive, its wide, and it moves pretty fast. If you get it near the ground and punch the accelerator, I can see splatters. It doesn't need to have fancy turning to hit a small target with a giant aircraft.

you're missing the point that the pelican cant turn on a dime.

all you have to do is change direction when its too late for the pelican to do anything about it.
if you get hit by a pelican, you deserve to die. thats all there is to it

Jump? Over a Pelican? That doesn't sound liekly. Even just going the other way may not work. It may not turn on a dime but it can go side to side.

i didnt say anything about jumping...

its like trying to get a splatter with a banshee. the only way you are guaranteed a splatter with the banshee is if you get close enough that they cant do anything, then boost into them. the reason for this is that the banshee cant maneuver while boosting.
its like trying to boost the banshee from across the map and trying to splatter someone. when you see this coming, its extremely easy to get out of the way.

can you see the difference?

and then theres the point of the size of the pelican. granted yes, its a little bit larger than a banshee, but its not very maneuverable, and wit all the trees and various structures on the ground, the pelican shouldnt be flying at ground level in the first place

Your main point is that the Pelican has to be manuverable. However, people get splatters with Hornets quite often. Take that and multiply the number of splatters.

i didnt say it HAS TO BE maneuverable, i said it isnt.
the hornet is much more maneuverable than the pelican.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I want this

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

Campaign Yes, MM no.

It would just be so stupid. When have you ever seen a pelican attacking infantry, the point of the pelican is a transport vehicle, get in, drop em off, get out. Too many people will be pulling Leeroy Jenkins and destroying a valuable ship.

If the Pelican even scratches the ground without landing properly, trying to get a splatter, it will damage the hull and the ship will crash.
