does anyone agree with me that in Halo 2 it would be awsome to have a helicopter, with machine guns and slightly less powerfull missles than the tank, that master chief can fly and carry troops in?

-also, a small boat would be cool, with a standing machine gun much like the warthogs in back, that could carry several troops. this way there could be a battle alongside a river in warthog/ghost/tank, in the air with a banshee (and helicopter like i said before) and then in the river a boat.

i think both of these vehicles would be awsome to have in Halo 2 and they should put them in Halo 3.

I think it should be like the counter part to the banshee sorta like a new age little bird helocopter it would be about as fast and could hover like the banshee

i just hope they dont make a one seater pelican thing unless its really cool looking

yeha taht would be cool, like a single mannned chopper like the banshee, or a carrier like the scorpian tank. they should also put in another type of warthog, like a hitech sandrail or something'

MC can fly the Pelican, he has done so a couple of times in the books.

Bungie doesn't let MC fly the pelican in the game since it would be overwhelmingly powerful and unbalanced.

A boat SEEMS cool, but isn't.

Reasons:
- You have no cover while operating a boat, hence you'll get shot.....a lot.
-When you get shot and die, the boat is stuck in the middle of the water...and guess what...MC can't swim ( he sinks like a stone in Halo ).
- IF MC could swim, guess what is the one bodypart that always sticks out of the water while swimming? Your head....capped...again.

So yeah, no boat...boat bad.

well actually he can fly the pelican, in the books, but i agree with a helicopter-ish aircraft for the humans

No... you know what would be really dope?? Have you guys ever seen The 6th Day (Arnold Schwarzawhatever)?? Well those aircrafts that the wings would transform into helcopter propelers... that would be tight (but a little unrealistic for a game like Halo2)

yeah that would be very cool but then it would be a little too futuristic and would start to looks to similar to the covenant vehicles. but everyone has thier own opinion.

Well maybe not a helicopter.. because it isn't exactly futuristic.. but maybe some type of jet.. kind of like the modern day Harrier.

yeah but then with a jet youd move to fast and couldnt slowly move forward, thats why a helicopter would be better.

Oooooo, yeah a Harrier type aircraft would be tight too. Taking off and landing vertically!

but see then the vehicles would be moving too fast tosee the levels so the levels would have to be huge in order to be able to fly such a fast plane... understand?

a banshee would be torn apart by a jet it could fire a heat missle from 6 miles aways and just blow the elite right out the back without harming the airplane jets would be simply unfair and way to fast u could go across blood gulch in less than 3 seconds

Who's played Unreal 2004? The Raptor? Yeah, a design like that might work for a heli-type aircraft. Not too powerfull, and low shields, but fast and good for getting to sniper perches.

How about we skip the whole silly boat idea, in all honesty I like chopper idea better. A small human flying vehicle would work.

There were A LOT of things in the first Halo. Like the fact that it was for PS2 and you were ALL cyborg marines, not just one of you =)
