Subject: A Pelican

The internet is a bad place.

No. Whats-his-face said that the maps would be huge and have no weapons? I was wondering where he got that from.

And why would these vehicles be 'over-sized banshees'?
Every time I see one of these vehicles, it is not going fast enough to splatter anything, and the phantom never even gets close to the ground.


I think he meant maps specificly designed for vehiculair combat.

Good point.

I want to fly whatever it is that drops the two tanks off and multiple hogs on The Ark in Halo 3!

Bungie isn't God.

While Phantoms, Pelicans, and Scarabs have a chance of happening, That defiantly won't. We are not that advanced yet to add that (or ships like that), that you can pilot, to a multiplayer game.

I'm xAssault12x, and I love the Halo Universe. Discussion please!

I like the one guys point about the Pelican becoming a giant battering ram. This could be fixed just like was previously stated. Make it so that if the Pelican is flying fast enough to kill someone then any impact with the ground should make it crash.

This would not stop me from using as a battering ram. If the Pelican was weak I would find the biggest group of people or a nice tank and smash it into the ground with my Pelican. Death from above.

Not to mention that it would be easy to hover just above the ground and splatter people at chest height.

Oh, did we even get into the possibillity of it being used to block off sections of the map? You think people driving warthogs onto their bomb plant point is bad? Think about people blocking off the right side entrance to the lake side base on Vallhalla with a Pelican.

Flying at chest height in a big Pelican while trying to splatter someone would be impossible. Any small hill or rock would ruin your day and make you crash.

If the other team is willing to waist their Pelican on something that Dumb then let them. The other team will have a Pelican too. They can just fly over the Pelican on the ground and land behind the base. Go team. A game or map where both teams have dropships would force both teams to keep their dropship in the air. If the other team is using their dropship to quickly move troops and vehicles around the map and your dropship is just blocking an entrance to the base then you will be at a huge disadvantage.

Lets take the banshee as an example. How many times have you been splattered by a banshee? A lot if you play BTB where the banshee primarily appears in. And now you are saying you want a huge banshee that can splatter just as easily? Nobody will use the pelican for transport, its just going to be a huge battering ram.



just make the pelican really delicate when it comes to
crashing, problem solved.


Also...more than a pelican I want to fly a 2-man fighter jet. Pilot and gunner!

I don't think it is a 2 person jet, but the Wombat from ODST looked fun.

Now that you mention it xAssault12x,using the Pelican to transport Warthogs and Scorpions would be a really nice tactical addition.Even for multiplayer.

That would probably destroy the pelican pretty fast : /

Rock + Metal = Life
Simple math

Flyable pelican would be awsome! Maybe you start by the pelican in a mission, drop of marines at some points and by the last point you get shot down and crash in a forrest or something and you have to fight your way out of it :)

It would be cool

A pelican in campaign? Sure, no complaints there.
A pelican in multiplayer? It would be broken, as you predicted our response would be in the OP.

Lets take the banshee as an example. How many times have you been splattered by a banshee? A lot if you play BTB where the banshee primarily appears in. And now you are saying you want a huge banshee that can splatter just as easily? Nobody will use the pelican for transport, its just going to be a huge battering ram.

Not to mention that you shouldn't need a vehicle to carry all seven of your team mates. Increase the number of players per team then eh? But as you increase the number of team mates, your individual sense of importance drops by a lot. You may be a great player, but there is no way that you can assault a fortress with 18 players inside of it by yourself and expect to come out alive, no matter how bad they are. By sticking to 8 players per team, you not only cut down on terrible terrible lag, but you also preserve the importance of each player without sacrificing the abillity of doing cool things like attacking with vehicles and such.

Want an aerial transport in multiplayer? The hornet is your friend. But there won't be a pelican in multiplayer.

I Get what your saying but think if bungie hosts the multiplayer games on a server at bungie HQ it would cut down lag and to be honest it would not be a huge battering ram of death if they make it less agile (case study) The hornet how often have you splattered someone on avalanche in a Hornet not very often seeing as the pelican is basically going to be a giant hornet with no weapons and it being bigger then a Hornet means you can get it into less space with sufficient room to splatter that sorts out the problem
Reason why i want the Pelican in REACH
1 its awesome
2 Good troop transport
3 if there is no weapons it could only allow team work for transportation
$ Good for Machinamas and Custom games
Now if there is no laser in REACh then 1 air support will be reliable pelicans will be able to take a beating so no easy Kilimanjaro's
To be affective it will encourage team work
And i dont care if its only in campaign i just wont a freaking pelican

On topic, I do love the idea of Pelicans and Phantoms being implemented, but for them to work the maps would have to be pretty big. I can't see a Pelican maneuvering around Valhalla.


I can, use your imagination then you might just see it, or you might see a little monkey clapping, thats what i sometime see :P

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Pfft, screw Pelicans, I want to pilot a Marathon-class UNSC Cruiser!

bungie u must let this pass!!!! it would be cool if u can call in an air strike in multiplayer if u get a 10 kill streak or have a pelican drop off a scorpion tank or a warthog would be pretty cool. and it would be kool i u could drive one in a mission and multiplayer where u could drop off troops and vehicles.Also be able to fire tracking rockets at vehicles ,AND BE ABLE TO LOCK ONTO THOSE BIG HUNTERS!!!!!!
also it would be kool if u get hit with a certain amount of rockets u start to spin out of control and have a big explosion when it hits the ground or even a wall, or building.
or have it to where u can snipe the pilot eitha sniper rifle or beam rifle though the glass in the cockpit. Or have a copilot that fires rockets and a pilot to control the ramp and driving, and a turret to hop on.

no, those call of duty perks sucked, and should stay in call of duty, what i want for multiplayer is a giant map(twice the size of sandtrap) with a pelican for each team and you can fly it and transport people around, and pick up vehicles with it to bring to your teammates(or to drop on peoples heads, either way, kind of epic) also, with a pelican in matchmaking, they could add new achievements and medals(ex: vehicle deployed: using a pelican, drop a vehicle on an enemy and kill him. OR if they have that"crashing feature" on it that people have mentioned, you could get an achievement for killing 2 or more players while crashing.) oh, and an epic pelican flying mission in campaign would be fun.

I'm sorry timmy,but that idea belongs in the "dream" department.

If you want a Pelican in Halo:Reach,please post.

i agree, or we could have a level where the pelican crashes, and we have to get on the rear turret to defend it while the pilot calls for evac, that'd be pretty cool in my opinion.


yeah, an actual decent idea in this forum full of -blam-.

Please Jesus be sarcastic.......


Judging by his grammar and caps i'd say;yes.

i dont think it would be game breaking because its not that big and bungie is using a new engine for reach,i think they should have a mission where you have to fly one or possibly in a large multiplayer map but not have it where its on only one map like the elephant
