Subject: Halo: Reach Gametype Similar to SW:BF2 Space Battles

Pelicans can be used in a low orbit.....Longswords too.

Maybe you can have a capital ship naval battle. Like manning guns, repairing systems like in BF2.

lobster fighters are space airplanes while hornets are like helicopters
i think there called serphs fighters or whatever they showed in halo 2 that's the covenant space airplane while the banshee is a more of a ww2 airplane if you think about the halo 3 banshee and phantoms and pelicans can go into space so i see no reason why they can't have a space battle with those vechicales i know it's not alot of options but it still makes it possible for an space battle

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Ya, it would be pretty cool to grab a helicopter, let a few teammates get in, fly your way over there and burst out and attack. I can see a couple problems though.

-it would be easy to kill multiple people in a pelican or phantom because of how many people are in it

-people in the enemy battleship could camp and spam grenades when the other team got out of the Pelican/ Phantom.

-Solutions-
-Make pelican really strong, but slow
-maybe put a shield on the door or something so the enemy can't throw grenades in there


Toa, as far as I know Pelicans were flyable in space before Halo 1. Also, sword fighters could be included.


What I'm talking about is the weapons systems on the pelican. In the Halo 3 timeline, the pelican was refitted with missle launches (as seen on Sierra 117). But, these upgrades did not exist during the battle of Reach. The pelicans only had a forward mounted Heavy Machine Gun. Not very effective in a Space battle.

Longsword fighters are awesome, but it's not exactly a one person vehicle.

Something like the Halo: Legends battleframe would be perfect.

I don't really like these "Space Battles" ideas, The covenant always won. Their ships are MUCH larger and stronger.

Banshees can be used in space right?
We don't know. Possible, but you would need a vaccum suit.

Well, since the Pelican would mainly be used as a transport vehicle I don't see that as being a problem. The phantom could be dumbed to have just a plasma weapon that's equal to the Pelican's machine gun.
Still, I just don't see why everyone wants to drive a Pelican when Bungie could come up with something so much better to drive. Dropships are just that: dropships. They are not meant for big space battles.

o it's longsword fighters i always thought it was called a lobster fighter sorry for the confusion and i don't mind having no missiles on the pelican as long as i don't get shot down easily and i don't think spawn camping is a promblem since from what i seen the hangers are larger like the covenant assualt ship looked like it had room for 2 scarabs while the pillar of autumn class had a large hanger as well so i doubt there will be spawn killing would not happen unless everyone was surounding the whole tire hanger area and that's alot of space in the hanger

Well, that's not a problem as long as you're a Spartan or Elite right?
Well, there is an elite vaccum suit. Like I've said, I'd like to see something new, or something from other Halo fiction incorperated into Halo: Reach.

for the unsc bomber i think we should go with the b-2 lookalike bomber in halo wars and for the fighter for the covenant the fighter we see in halo 2 and halo 3 but you have to look for it unless you are playing the first mission as the arbiter in halo 2 in the hanger that's the covenant fighter and i never seen what a gizga bomber looks like so im ? what it looks like

From what I see, you'd need a fighter, bomber, and transport vehicle on each time.

Human
Transport= Pelican
Fighter= Longsword fighter
Bomber= ???


Covenant
Transport= Phantom
Fighter= ???
Bomber= ???


I don't know what to put in the ??? mark areas. Does anyone have any ideas?

covie GIGAS bomber...

This guy, right here

I'd say that, if we were to have space battles, it should be with individual fighter-like crafts.
