I don't think so. It would be a power weapon or a piece of crap. It'll either be impossible to shoot down or one shot and it's dead. Maybe pelicans...no not really.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Halo Custom Edition already has a working Longsword. But its so big and unweildy, you have to be in a big (and I mean Hugeass ; ) map to find it playable. Maps like Blood Gultch or even Infinity would fall short on space requirements. Maybe Death Island, but they'd need to raise the "ceiling" so you could maneuver the unweildy beast.

I'd vote for a pelican. Considerably smaller and more maneuverable, though I'd prefer they cleaned up some of the controls before dropping it into PC (that old saying about "any landing you can walk away from" doesn't apply when you hit the ground a few hunred yards from your bird...). But the Longsword is too specialized

A pelican has a better chance than a longsword, and yeah:Hugeass,POASpace, CS_V2, and tons of other maps (Streets Of Earth City:One of the most popular)have working pelicans in them-and PipeDream was an oldie too.

Ya, it would be cool to have in the game, but it would become a cheap weapon that noobs sit in an blast the hell out of everyone. But if the health was low to would be a bullet-magnet and you'd sit in it for a few seconds. But what maps are big enough for it? It's huge in The Maw! Blood Gultch and Gerophobia are even too small for it. There would need to be a new, humoungous level with it.

A pelican would be really handy for CTF clan games, you then could move all you clan around and evac the flag. That would be really cool.

I think it's only good for destroying the big covenenant battle cruisers, & eachother. Halo needs a blackhawk!

It would be great. But there are a couple of reasons why they shouldnt add it. 1) 3 or 4 times bigger than banshee so would need a REALLY big map. 2) Same problem with banshees ( new ppl go straight for it and arnt good at using it) 3) WAY 2 much firepower for 1 vehicle. The Longsword fighter is a space fighter similer to the Covenants Seraph fighters so it would be out of place in ground time missions. If the made a spacestation map for example one which you could go out into the vacuum and use powerful vehicle like the seraph and longsword fighters but that would be HUGE and take ages 2 load.

Well, sure but I think that it wouldn't be fair to someone on the ground if the had a longsword commin' after them. I sugest a battle with only longswords. It gest wouldn't be fun to the guy on foot. Oh, and only for big maps. It would be awsome to put a little air combat to halo rather than the Banshee. Oh, and missles would be realy fun.

No because we already have the ghost fighters and the banshees.

well the longsword isnt the most maneuverable thing in the world, and is armed for combat with other space fighters, so really it would be ultimately useless in gameplay, but in cinematics it adds a very nice touch

ive used the longswords in hugeass. theyre kinda boring really.

*Sigh* On CE, the Longsword is too slow to control, but maybe for advanced pilots, they should put the Longsword in Multi-player.

Look, the longsword wasn't meant for PC and that's that. If you want multi-player longsword experience, get Halo Custom Edition, if you don't want to, go to HMT and Spark Edit, and put a Longsword in AOTCR for all I care.
