Yes. I would have to agree. Anything better then someone just "beaming" in like we do currently. The idea of a Pelican dropping a warthog is really nice. Though it'd look a little strange to see a Pelican dropping off a ghost for your team *lol*
I'd also like to see a good Spartan vs. Covenant game-type to really get that realistic feel.
Something like Elongation might have numerous airlocks where a Pelican or Longsword could pull up and drop you off.
In a map like Turf the Pelican could just fly over the map low and you could just jump off at will giving you the rooftop advantage initially.
You'd really have to playtest any number of different entrance scenarios but they could be very dramatic. (ie. The Pelican jump off would really suck during SWAT games)
As for the weapon drops, that could be awesome. The weapon pod could show up on your HUD as it entered the final approach and remain lit for a few moments after touchdown, just long enough to orient on it. If you're too busy to pay attention, too bad!
