I know on the forums there has been a lot of topics about flying pelicans and Phantoms lately and i just thought I'd have my say.

I support this idea but maybe you could pick up your team-mates and one could man that turret on the front and another 2 man the plasma cannons on the side , not to forget passenger and the ability to move around the ship. (not a massive interior).

But only have the ships available on the larger scale maps with larger team games.

This would be a good asset to the game.
By being able to drop the troops were they need to go.

Plus a specific weapons placed around the map to damage them severely such as the mounted missile pod.

- EDIT -

Just thinking , you should be able to board on mongooses and warthogs , not tanks or anything massive though :/



But thats just my idea , what about you?
Care to share your thoughts?

It would be cool but the size of the map would have to be huge to balance the size of the Dropship.

Even Sandtrap's size would still be cramp.

Then yes, but they would have to lower the sitting inside the pelican to around 6, and lower the missles power.

For the Phantoms they would have to make it so the main turrent cant be destroyed. Maybe a built in one.

Yeah i guess so but maybe instead of the turret on the front add a little platform that drops down ,
Pelican - Chaingun
Phantom - Plasma cannon

Every time I read something that I think is the stupidest thing ever and something can't replace it, something manages to replace it.

Too inclue either into a balanced game you would need "Really" big maps and "Really" big teams.

Frontlines fule of war size. 50+ players.

However the lag would be intolerable without dedicated servers. Frontlines used dedicated servers to overcome the problem but they are expensive to maintain. Halo makes other players host the game and therefore BIG GAME = BIG LAG! Untill we all have super brodbrand! Maby in a few years.

I meant like 6 people per team or 8 people per team , remember Bungie still has another year to work on this game.
