I think that pelicans and phantoms would be a good idea but you would need a big map to have them on.
Let me know what you think.

You're like, the bee's knees: you have helped me out a LOT in the past and you're a genuinely nice guy, and you deserve all the best for the good you've done me and surely done others
Count Peter, you're one of the only people I respect on here. Not that that means much on a forum, but still.

Hell yes

I was suprised they were not available in halo 3

yeh ive always wanted to do the same.

it would be funny if you exited/enterd the pelican throught the back to the troop bit because if you were bailing out it wouldent be quick.I suppose it would be the same for a elephant if they werent indstuctable

anthor question how much dammage should the pelicans/phantoms take

Why is it that everyone has boners for stupid ideas?

id say about two DIRECT spartan lasers to the weak point (what should the weak point be? the wings?) or just three normally.

maybe a full rocket pod full of rockets. when they lock on i guess they would auto lock to the weak points>? either wing right>?

a full rocket launcher to the wings? a little much?

I thinka full rocket launcher to the wings id a bit much maybe two remeber thy have to hit the pelican which is sometimes hard

another weak point could be the windshield at the front

an idea could be you can open and close the back door to protect your troops

I didn't vote.

It really depends on how many people are on a team in Multiplayer.

If the max number of players on a team isn't at least 16, I'd have to say no.

And even if they did implement it, I probably wouldn't use it.

Can you say Killpocalypse waiting to happen?

its a way of trasporting troops fast
the should be counter attacks for a pelican/phantom
you would definatly need 10 v 10 though u probaly wouldent get more than an over kill!

  • 10.31.2009 8:19 AM PDT

I'm just saying it wouldn't fit well with Halo's Multiplayer style.

I'm not saying there won't be innovations in Reach but I doubt Bungie will stray too far from the formula.

And seriously, what's the point of transporting your entire team in one vehicle?

It sets them up for an extermination.

The only reason anyone cares so much about the pelican being Drivable is because it isn't already. If it were you'd probably be whining that you can't find a power cell or something for the Albatross on Sandtrap.

Let it be known everyone, The Pelican is the new Recon Armor!

Let's all start E-mailing bungie begging them to put a vehicle in Multiplayer because we just WANT IT SO BADLY!!!

While we're at it, why don't we fake illnesses and threaten suicide if we don't get our way?

Seriously guys, take a step back and think about how much you would use the Pelican now in Halo 3 on maps like Sandtrap and Avalanche.

It just doesn't work well, and I doubt that adding more people to the mix would make it much better of an Idea.

im saying like bigger maps not tiny ones and i dont think they should be available on matchmaking but like a custom game or forge it would make it enjoyable

  • 10.31.2009 8:35 AM PDT

Hell to the yes.

  • 10.31.2009 8:37 AM PDT

Actually I'd say no to be honest. It's easy to just say yes I want these crazy things in the game, but how would you implement something like this? Unless it was a completely scripted event, I honestly don't think drivable dropships/pelicans would work at all.

it definatly wouldent work in machmaking but on a map to mess about with or for a machinima or 1 campaing level it would work

People have wanted to pilot Phantoms and Pelicans since the days of Halo 2. Making them pilotable in Reach would be great fan service.

Name: Danielle.19 yrs old.

Definately a good idea, + has a whole ton of advantages for things like team multiplayer battles...So hell yeah!!!

  • 10.31.2009 9:24 AM PDT

i wouldn't care about phantoms, but pelicans entice me for some reason

they'd be good for machinimas, and i think their only weapon should be hornet rockets

Imo, the pilot of the pelican should be able to fire Hornet Missiles, and other people should be able to use a turret on the front & back of the Pelican.

You want to fly Pelicans, Phantoms, and Spirits? Get Halo Custom Edition!

  • 10.31.2009 9:32 AM PDT

If Bungie can find a way for them to be destructible in both Campaign and multiplayer, I say go for it. You'd probably have pilot it in first person.
