i really think this idea would be cool for multiplayer, tell me what you guys think.

  • 10.01.2009 1:40 PM PDT

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

Elaborate, please.

Spartan119 the Red Raven.
"So officer tell me how it feels to be at the wrong end of that barrel?"

i think id be fun... but not balanced.
i mean when do u ever need to fly 8 people anywere all at once??? u don even have 9 people on ure team. shure custom games and a campaign mission would be great!!! but id rather bungie do other things like up the graphics and vastly improve on the AI. or just fix the AR so its an actual weapon and not one that forces u to melee or grenade

  • 10.01.2009 1:57 PM PDT

No, because it would be poorly balanced and used.

  • 10.01.2009 1:58 PM PDT

All your base are belong to us.

I could see a use for it if Bungie made it whare the teams are large, like 50 to 60 pepole per team.

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

Maps for Halo Reach will never be big enough for a pelican to be of any use.

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.

Pelicans would be overpowered. They can kill Phantoms in 2 rocket barrages.
Forgeable for Machinima would be cool, but never in MM or on the stock maps.

Group invites will be treated very poorly because the Care Package is empty.

It hasn't happened in Halo 2. It hasn't happened in Halo 3. It hasn't happened in Halo ODST.

Do you really think it's going to happen for Halo Reach?

Gameplay wise I see it more as a nuisance then an actual threat/assistance.

It would be nice if we could call down a pelican after getting large sprees or team steaks. But only on open maps like sandtrap and at certain checkpoints only.

look out overnight is coming

pelicans dont have rocket barrages retard

i think a lot of things need to be made more epic in this game especilly if reach is apparently going to be the last halo game or is it not correct me if im wrong

  • 10.01.2009 2:28 PM PDT

i think it would be a cool campeign part because if you remember from halo 3 the pelican wrecked two phantoms and i think that would be a great part in a campeign when you and you team escape from almost getting obliterated and have to fight your way in the skies

  • 10.01.2009 2:28 PM PDT

Dont underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

No they don't, all they do is fly with 8 people in the cargo hold and one guy manning a tiny little turret. No missiles at all.

Considering in Halo 2 they used their rocket barrage on the Scarab, and in Halo 3 one blows up TWO PHANTOMS with a few rocket barrages, I think you need your eyes checked.
