"Friends don't let friends drink and LIVE"

I've always wanted the Pelican as an operable vehicle.

Maybe it could be flown by bots cycling from one end of the map to the other on a timer.
You could have a matchmaking gametype involving an LZ and defending it.

Another gametype. Neutral Pelican Assault, both teams have to rush to one Pelican in the middle of the map. Fight for control of it and then fly to the enemy base bomb in hand and try not to get shot down by a laser or a rocket pod.

Pelican CTF, same thing but then the Pelican is the tool needed to get the flag back to score.

Am I the only person to play Halo and think it would be fun to fly a whole squad into battle?

I guess you are.
I'd rather blast stuff with a rocket launcher than think I'm playing "ace combat sans weapons nor action".

here's why it probably won't happen :
-the maps need to be huge. 3 times sandtrap at least.
-you're a giant sitting duck.
-people wouldn't play fair in those huge maps. ONE person would take the pelican and fly away all like "gtfo lol" and think he'll get an extermination on his own and so pwn the enemy team. your team has to walk for like 2 minutes to reach the (well defended) enemy base. (in other word : people take a warthog and don't wait for a gunner. they won't wait for passengers in their pelicans).
-balancing would be a nightmare. since you're a huge target, you'd be very armored... but because of how fast the shield regenerates and how quick a pelican goes, plus the armor of the vehicle, you'd not die of the whole game. just hhide as soon as you get to 1/3 of your shields.
etc...

Yeah I would like the pelican to be in Reach Also. however, I think that it is unrealistic to have gametypes based off of the pelican.

i think it would be a fun way to spwan ie. dropped off in a pelican or a drop pod.
but operational? nope :l
