Those maps would have to be way to huge to support pelicans and phantoms. were talking never being able to find one another in two player mode huge.

Unfortunatly, that would make it a massive lagfest. Halo games tend to use a heck of a lot more bandwidth than most other online games, and would require godly connections for even a laggy 60 man game.

the way you spell words is verging on unledgable man, spend that little extra time putting the last few letters of the sentence in the correct place, its worth it.

Hell Yes! Y not throw in sum scarabs (or a human version). Dude that would rule.
But u wood have to make the pelicans, dropships and scarabs destructable. And at least three people to operate the scarab to its full potentiol.

Unless you have anything good to contribute, I suggest you dont post. If people want your constant flaming they will ask for it. otherwise let them just post so we can discuss their ideas.

There are no ideas to discuss because 99.9% of the ideas floating around on these forums are pointless and stupid. Now i suggest you dont post because most likely you are one of those stupid kids who has nothing better to do but talk nonsense

Clearly, this man(lostfranchise1) has no idea what he is talking about and is a flaming douche.

Alright, back on topic you lot!

Pelicans will probably make an appearence, but phantoms (i doubt) will become involved.

I suppose on an 8v8 match, a two pelicans would be feasable on a large map. The capacity sholud only be one pilot and 5 teammates of something though. Have you ever seen more than that in the back of a pelican? You could also have the different variants... like the ones on single player campaigns with the underslung gun pods, or even multi-functional pelicans that can sacrifice troop capacity to lift a warthog instead.

And how about those covenant troop carriers in the tunnel, that have the insane shade turret on the top and can carry a ghost? (the name escapes me) but those could be fun

I am sure Bungie has overseen this and ficed it for Halo 3.

When you look down the barrel of an enemies gun you usually pi$$ your pants .... but hey when it's my gun you don't have that kind of time.

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. -Sir Winston Churchill

You know as much as I wish Bungie would include the Pelican (not really favorable to the phantoms because large vehicles like that really should just be used for transport and the pelican doesn't have weapons anyway), I don't think it would be plausible, as stated earlier, for the amount of people needed for these maps because the bandwidth needed would be immense. I mean you would be talking about maps several times the size of Containment. Also with a map that size you would have to have a vehicle to get across to the fighting because it would take you forever to get to the location you need to get to on foot. This would provide a problem for the guys that decide to take a vehicle and run because he would be leaving half his team behind if he decided to take the pelican and try to capture the other teams flag by himself. In a way these levels would have to seem like campaign levels because of the enormity of them.

With my rant out of the way, a design for these maps in my opinion would be a level similar to Coagulation (an open field with cover scattered), or a level with the buildings similar to Delta halo. Also an idea would be to have a level with alot of dug in locations, as a worn battlefield might look like. Of course since the game will most likely be focused mainly on Earth so alot of the maps I would like to see for Halo 3 would be earth levels. These levels would of course have to have large open areas so the pelicans could land or get close to landing. Maybe have command positions built in and what not.

These would be some ideas for these size levels but I really doubt they will ever come to exist.

I thought the pelican had weapons? You don't see then cause he always appoarches rear first and he doesn't use them much since he pretty much always comes after you killed the enemy.

They should have dedicates servers instead of host. And 32 players max, to prevent lag. If it doesn't lag, then step it up to 60 players.

Pelican is going to be a definite. People have done it with mods, so it's def. possible. It's a very small ship, it's not that large, and it would be fins on Coag, if it was expanded a bit.

Well picture something like the map Boarding Action from Halo CE with a big bridge in it that would allow alot of space for pelicans to fly around and they could even put pelicans on one side and phantoms on the other to enhance the reb vs blue battle's and maybe add a small fleet of banshees. That would make it a big air map but the bridge could have many defences or even a tunnel bridge so vechauls (always forget that words correct spelling) and people on foot could get threw it without banshes or passing pelicans wiping them out. And i dont mean an open tunnel bridge like secluded tunnels on either side and one on connect to the top of the tunnel allowing 3 paths to get accross one large roadway (be best if only fast vechauls like warthogs were on the map) and then flying over of course so it wouldnt be very easily camped and the enemy flag area could have a nice big hole in the top to allow a pelican to fly over and drop people out and the banshees would have long respawns. Its an idea i think that could work and be fun, just picture 2 floating bases in space connected by intricit tunnel. Also gravity
