Better yet. Just use the SkyHawk Jumpjet from The Fall of Reach. It hovers like the Pelican, has missiles and auto turrets. Not very powerful, but pretty much he same as a Banshee.

Also to the guy that said a helicopter thing. Bungie on purposely left out helicopters from Halo. They said they did not fit in well with the generalt futuristic feel they wanted for Halo. Hence the Pelican using VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) technology and not a bunch of rotating blades.

What I predict it will be, is a VTOL craft, with twin automatic weapons, with missles as a secondary. If you notice I said "will", I mean that there defintley will be a Human fighter, because the Covenant has ruled the skies in Halo1, so we need to retaliate against the Covenant air supiority.

Humans having air superiority in the universe of Halo? HA! We are losing because the Covenant always have air and technological superiority. Well at least in space anyways, but planetside they still have a better chance than us. Despite the Spartans (not the UNSC) having never lost a ground battle.

Are u crazy, the skyhawk outguns the banshee 2 to 1, seriosly i did the math. Infact in game the skyhawk would outgun it 4 to 1. The skyhawk has 4 changuns more powerfull than the LAAG i think it was 50 mil but i might be mistaken. And it has 2 ANTI TANK rocket pods. Plus the guns would fire continuosly while the banshee has about a half second pause while firing.

I said so we need to retaliate against the Covenant air supiority. , not that we had the superiority. Though we need to, as I said, to retaliate.

Keep in mind that in Halo 2 the humans have technology far superior to that of the Covenant, they just need time to implement it and then it's game over for those Covenant bastards.

Also, the SkyHawk owns the Banshee in every way.

I think there should be a human aircraft which handles much more like a plane than the Banshee's hovering style. This would give the gameplay more virarty as it would be harder to aim and harder to hit. It would also be very cool if you could take a marine with you in the back.

They should call it, “The Hen.” It can drop egg shaped turd bombs.

Read near the end of FoR it says that the skyhawk has 4 chainguns and two anti tank rocket pods, i dont know about you but i think that is a little lopsided

File Share - Check out my latest map Paradigm.

The Pelican now has a chain gun hanging out the back door as seen in the E3 2003 video when the MC jumps out.
