I think some of the ones in halo wars should be included in reach also my idea for the pelican
1.make it invincible like the elephant but unable to shoot from front onlt fly
2.make sure people riding shotgun can be hit no more -blam!- like the glitch where you couldn't kill the ele driver with certain things
3 make enemys be able to jump in and run to the pilot seat and assasinte the driver (we don't want it too invincible)
4 keep turret in back like in halo3 and allow the 2 people rinding closest to the edge to shoot with their weapons (not completly defensless)
4.give it an auto land ability E.G when you get close to the ground landing supports extend from the bottom

The pelican would be unbalanceable for Halo multiplayer. You know how banshee pilots fly around and splatter people? The pelican is essentially a bigger banshee.

Flyable in campaign? Sure.
Flyable in Multiplayer? No way.

GT= Frost1691
No Group Invites.
Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

It's way to big for the multiplayer maps in Halo. Unless Bungie decided to make a GIGANTIC map, like 3 or 4 times the size of Sandtrap, it would be completely pointless. If you want something close enough to a Pelican, get a Hornet. It's invicible (pretty much), shoots bullets and missles, and can carry 2 more people. All of that is why it was never in Halo 3 matchmaking, too.

Having the pelican in customs could work for machinimas and just flying fun

I always wanted to see one on multiplayer but we need bigger maps. Maybe about 1.5x bigger than sandbox's top level.
Btw i totally support your idea and I think it is quite good but maybe there could be a mongoose on it just for the fun of being able to drive off into the battlefield lol.

But the map that it would spawn on would have to be pretty big. Big to the point where it is barely useable for even 8 vs 8.
