Love you Bungie!
Still playing Halo1 Custom Edition!
It could be nice as an extra Level for halo 3 to do like "The battle of New Mombassa". You get to see how the covies over burned earth's defenses, but you get to fight it, and stand your chance to fix it. The whol outskirts/metro city is right under you, you have landing pads, Warthogs and marines+ a few scorpions. Let's say bungie caps you at 500 marines( NOT spawned all at the same time) But you're in charge of odrering LS and pelicans to drop supply and troops in some part of the city, organize defense, evacuate and re inforce positions.. And awesome long lasting mission, i see it like you defend outskirts, slowly loose it.. then they start crossing the bridge you have the option to re inforce it,evac the outskrits or even call a bombing on it to slow down the covenant. You finally do so, but pods start launching and Scarabs strart crossing the river toward the city..what shall you do now?<pick up ODSTs at your command post and ask for support from 2 Ls and 2 more pelicans loaded with sorpions/marines. You drop the scorpions in good position to slow down scarabs and then you make your LS take down 2 scarabs as you drop yiour ODSTs inside another, so they can commander it..
Just try to imagine how awesome it would be :) Same thing cuold be possible for the human's assault on the Quarantine zone. that would be an awesome way to revist past levels and epic battles you didn't see
Multiplayer has it's room too: bigger maps, 5~6 times as big as containment. Pelicans do have landing gear and are very strong but weakly armed they however can attach scorpions, carry 1 pilot, 1 copilot, 10 units and 1 read gunner seat. But wait, you're fully loaded as it's a 16VS16. the 3 opthers decided to pick up the SAM Batterys and cover the base againsn't a possible invasion from the enmy pelican. your pelican reachs cruise speed and is v ery low to avoid beeing targeted by a rocket or a SAM. it drops a sniper and 2 marines1 containment lenght from the base. Your bird takes off, and you move on. 600 meters from your oponent's base you're spotted! you quickly slow down and disengage your scorpion befor eyou're spotted. 5 of your troops jump out and get aboard the scorpion( 1 driver+4 passenger, good 'ol halo 1 way) and they start moving. the SAM god a very long locking on system but it almost got you! You're getting ready to face it and possibly dodgering your first threat! your armor warns you! incoming missile you do what you can to dodge but no matter what you try you're hit and badly damaged. Hopefully the enemy team didn't keep neought defender to fire another missile and apperently no rockets are beeing fired. you're almost in their base now, right over their walls. the rest of your team jumps off but your co pilot and you start moving up...the sniper warns you he's ni perfect position to kill whoever tries to leave the base and that his scouts just acquired the rocket launcher from a enemy unit. the scorpion is also in range to open fire but no enemy is seen. Weird. you take off and decide to pick up the rocket launched but then your hit. you're loosing power and altitude hit by a enemy scorpion. you get off your seat and you start moving to the pelican's back. you jump off, take major falling damage and can only watch your bird crash as you see 3 warthogs and 1 scorpion enclosing.. you think all is loss and you take you're assault rifle, but suddenlya tank blast takes down 1 warthogs. a sniper blast kills the tank's driver but they're too late, the Gauss hog shoots and kill you. what an epic battle.. you'renot aware tho that 10 people of the other team are inside you're base, owning you're defenssers and getting ready to take the flag...
that's how i see pelicans. i don't want a pelican on bloodgulch, I want pelicans on battlefield scaled maps.10 or 15 times containment if needed anyways if i remember right how bungie explained their details engine, the CPUs will no longer spare their time on somethibng noone's close enought to see;)
