If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

If you want the experience that much get Halo:CE for PC.

If it could get destroyed, then you have all the debris to deal with. If it wasn't destructable, then you have gameplay issues. Also you can't drive a pelican, you pilot it

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

The end.

SCFH

Think about it. Not even 5 laser shots could take out a pelican. And when the other team has the flag/bomb with a pelican, its pretty much a walk-in.

I love this idea. Although I do not think Bungie should even think about "drivable pelicans", I do feel like this kind of level is also necessary. This level would be SO intense. It seems like it would be so much more epic than actually driving it.


Agreed. Also, I think were they to implement them in mutliplayer, the way to do it would be through an interactive button or something.

Meaning, press a button and a CPU controlled pelican comes to a scripted position and will take on passengers. When inside, a button can make it take off to another scripted location. Imagine it as a slower teleporter with more flair.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

You can drive pelicans with a MOD in Halo CE, which was made with unrefined controls by some dude.

how bout giant online (like 20 per team) battles with pelicans and phantoms that would be awesome

  • 11.11.2009 6:26 PM PDT

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

There not good at all, all you are is a giant target for any anti armor weapon although it couldnt hurt to put it into multiplayer it would be fun to goof around in just for the fun of it but it would be to cheap for capture the flag

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

I don't see a point in driving a pelican. I think it would be more fun to ride in the back with the drop doors open, firing a battle rifle downwards into a legion of covenant.

"this is the best game since grifball"
Sarge
Red vs Blue

umm they could make it where they would have to take out both engines for them all to die or if it crashes

remember they are capable of entering atmosphere so yeah that aren't exactly weak

you could in theory snipe or laser the pilot for epic lolz
and watch the hole team crash down

The pure win of being able to pilot large aircraft in Halo is beyond the comprehension of those who wish for Halo to remain what it is.

  • 11.11.2009 8:40 PM PDT

catching plasma nades may be bad for you health

pelicans are frinking awesome sure there is the with shooting them down balance issue but an aa wrath would solve that problem

You don't know that, we've never seen any non-scripted destructible Pelicans in game that have been destroyed.

What do you mean, would it rain Pelicans on the map? :D

One thing you could do would be to just let it crash and then make it explode on the ground. Or they could make it like the Phantom in ODST, they drastically reduced the amount of debris raining down. Or, they could just make it like the Hornet and the Banshee and let the people deal with debris. Splatters for the win.

Seriously get Halo custom edition. you can drive pelis on that, and It isn't that amazing, and is really difficult to drive. I could understand seating co-piolit would be nice. (Just look at the level The ark)


it will be fun to fly a pelican becuse:

1:its big
2:it can fly
3:it will be fun to transport your teammates to the enemys base
4:it has big guns
5:it will be easy to destroy phantons
6:crashing into your enemys base and kill evrybody =)
7:idk (sorry if i spelled wrong)

You forgot:
8. I will be fun to get a, Double Kill, Triple Kill, Overkill, Extermination, Killtacular, Killing Spree.... by knocking one down.


yeah that too =)

Look out.... -boom- (headshot)
I told you to look out, but know, you got in my way, was going to shoot that splaser....

Team Heavies, Sorpian Main Battle Tank, possibly the Wraith and the gauss hog can take it down.

Something different. Having only the Hornet and Banshee is great for fighting, but how cool would it be to drop off a bunch of your friends off the map!

"Quick guys! Out of the Pelican now! It's going to blow up!"

*Jumps off Pelican*

"Liieeesssss!"
