If you watch the opening movie for the PoA, in the background you can see a tank being loaded under the pelican, exactly how a hog would. my question is this:

Will the pelican be able to transport the tank, but more importantly, will you somehow be able to choose what vehicle you want to be transported for your use?

i noticed that too. maybe the pelican will transport different vehicles this time, but i dont think you could choose which you want.

That would be a cool feature for long missions where vehicle support is needed since you would have to make the right decision of what vehicle to take. Would you a warthog with spead and good firepower(depending on what version? Or would you want the tank which is slower but can blow the -blam!- out of whatever gets in its way?

ya, and i was alos wondering about co-op support, where maybe instead of just a hog, it brings two ATV's since they are really small and could be transported easily

Ok picture this,you are assaulting an enemy base in CTF MP,your warthog gets blown to shreds(or tank) and you need the pelican to drop a vehicule off,damn that sounds awesome.But are we sure if there will even be pelican in MP?

if the pelican is in mp, i wonder if you could transport cov. vehicles too. it would be awesome to have a pelican bring in a wraith.

another thing that would be cool would be to have a pelican fly like 500 feet overhead and drop out marines (bots) and have them parachute down. i doubt this would happen, but its a guess anyway.

you couldnt shoot a pelican down with small arms fire that thing is huge its probablly a couple inches thick of some super titanium armor maybe if u hooked a plasma to the wing joint or a gernade into the cockpit but i seriously thing it would be so cool to play a bigger version of boarding action where you have to fly pelicans and phantoms in order to get to the other side and transport vehicles to the other side you know had bad it would be to shoot a pelican down with a good rocket shot to a joint of the wing and watch it explode with all its people in it and a tank on the back

also the pelican would be really good for showing off destructible environments cause if a pelican crashed i imagine the ground would break around it and dust and metal would shoot everywheres

imagine a pelican crashing into one of the levels in boarding action it would plow through all the concreter bunkers before getting stuck in a wall

another cool thing would be if after pelicans died they became part of the scenery like they stayed there the whole game and you could come to a crashed one and pick up some of the weapons from the weapons locker

wow thanks for noticing i was talking about parachuting marines.

plus just get a rocket hog and a stationary turret and shoot till it falls.

my bad but parachutes sound cool for like night missions but i would rather the pelican have a rope feature like being able to rope to the ground
