Does anyone else think it would be awesome to be able to fly a pelican in MP or Campaign? There wasn't one in Halo 3 and I think, personally, it would be a great addition to the game.
I have seen videos showing mods for Halo 1 where you can fly a Pelican on maps like Blood Gulch and it seems easy, and fun. It would be a great way to transport troops or drop vehicles.
Agree, or disagree?

Edable - Not to be mistaken with Edible, you cannot eat me unless i am in pie form, which only happens once every 371 years

I don't see the point, at all.

Halo's multiplayer maps arn't big enough to warrant the use of a pelican, and, as far as i know, their only weapon is a turret mounted on the back. I'm probally wrong with that though.

As for transporting troops, how would you balance it? You load up a pelican with your whole team, fly over to the enemy base and all bail out, no fall damage means you can drop in, suprise them and take their flag/ whatever. Seems unfair is all.

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Well if you had super ginormous maps, then the pelican could work. As for dropping off your whole team, I think if you only were able to pile on say 4-6 people on one pelican it might work.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

No, cause then some tard would take it and not let anyone in, or let them in and then fail at driving.

8 vs 8 maps would work or very big maps

...No, it's not.

And obviously Bungie would make bigger maps, anyone who uses "No cause theres not big enough maps" is being an idiot, we haven't seen any of the maps, so we don't know what kinds there are yet.

hell too the yes

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.

No, the firepower of a Pelican is too strong. It would be the EASIEST level in any Campaign ever, and in MP it would be overpowered.

Seriously guys play coldsnap. It takes like 20 minutes to get from one side of the map to the other using warthogs, it has a longsword which drops nukes in it, jet fighters, .50 cal snipers that flip hogs over, pelicans, all that good -blam!-.
