Subject: should you be able to fly pelicans/ phantoms

Main GT: MightyJdog84

How would you take it down? Also, it probably would be better to call in a strike from a pelican.

this would be cool but bungie would need to make bigger maps and u would probably only be able to do this in a big team mathmaking type of thing but even then they would need to make it so that all the turrets were seperatly controled so that one person cant just go flying around and totaly dominate the other team

yes, i think flying pelicans and phantoms would be cool but they would have ot figure out some way to make it not overpowering and dumb

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

pelicans dont have rocket barrages retard


hahahaha....actually they do.


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.
have you ever played the halo 3 level sierra 117 level the pelican destroys the phantoms
[WITH ITS MISSISOLS] at the end

  • 10.01.2009 3:57 PM PDT

Machinima vs. Machinima

I believe all that firepower from one vehicle in a multiplayer would lag out the driver in the end..:( but interesting thought not like its been talked about before.

maybe they should just take out the guns out of the phantoms and pelicans?so that they wont be overpowered.

Wrong, yes the pelican at the end of Sierra 117 has missles. But the pelicans of the current timeline at REACH don't have missles.

Battle pelicans didn't start being made until a little after Halo CE

"Feet first into Hell" - ODST's.

No, It would be poorly unbalanced, and may not even work for the story, because phantoms weren't used til the "halo 2" era, they still use the old drop ships, as for pelicans, i don't believe they should be either.

“We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.”-Charles R. Swindoll

it would be kool for campaign

BYAHH

i disagree. that would be like Halo Reach: Modern Warfare

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

No, I do not like the idea of driving a Pelican or Phantom or a Spirit. I really don't get the hype to drive these vehicles. With the exception of the H3 Pelican, these ships have very little fire power and are easily destroyed. They would act as more of a burden then anything.

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.


Play through sierra 117 (the first level of halo 3) watch the pelicans that try to pick you up the first time at the river when banshees attack them. it takes roughly 6 to 8 shots from a singal banshees normal plasma guns (not the banshee bombs) to make those pelicans lose control and crash into the cliff face.

EDIT:
As far as actually flying these things I think it could be good in CTF but only occasionally. it would be kinda like the elephant, cool but almost always useless. the only thing that would make these things good is if bungie added 50-60 person battles or a gametype that they were used in.

Good god, its like sarcasm is completely foreign in this thread.

I seriously doubt Halo Reach will have maps big enough for Pelicans to actually work out. Not to mention they already made a scaled down version called the hornet.

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.


Yes everybody, Pelicans DO have rockets rather similar to many of the ones used in Halo Wars. But they would be a little bit overpowered...

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 don't see the value other than as a gimmick in campaign.

the way that you would take down a pelican/phantom is with the missle turret and than the spartan laser to the engine ports or go Sniper on dey asses and snipe the pilots

  • 10.02.2009 12:43 PM PDT

Yea but in the ending of the first level in halo 3 when the pelican comes 4 transport it fires an amount of misiles at an phantom when you deffend with Johnson

How would you take it down?

In halo 3 and halo 3:odst the pelicans are being taken out by banshees, you could take one out with a fuel rod, spartan laser, missle pod, rocketlauncher, gauss warthog, or plasma pistol(if it worked on pelicans)

  • 10.02.2009 2:19 PM PDT

Everyone listen up I've played somthing called halo custom edition, though its based on halo 1, its all modified so you can play online with flyable pelicans, phantoms, longswords(my favorite), and they got a map called extention where you can drive a scarab and F16, it works perfectly there, so I cant see why it wouldn't work on halo 3 or reach.

If a few modders could do that, Bungie could do it better. Think about why they didn't though.

Screw strategy, I would just use them in the beginning of the game and kamikaze the other team when they come out. Or maybe if they had a Scorpion...
