Who really thinks you should be able to fly the Pelican in Halo 3? I think it would be pretty cool if you could.

Why? The point of the game is to shoot a gun, what does that have to do with flying dropships, you have marines to do that for you. Halo is a FPS shooter, why is everyone trying to add flying, and squad based games attributes to it, that is not Halo.

I would really like too, the pelican has been in the game since halo CE, so hopefully we could fly it in halo 3. BUt only in huge maps like 10 times the size of Coag !

what does that pic have to do with a pelican, and if you have flied it, it was probably just a mod or something and most likel ynot the same as if bungie programed it to be flyable.

Flying a Pelican in third-person camera view would look cheesy because it's huge, unless it was a first-person view of which you see through the cockpit.

You may all want the Pelican to be pilotable now, but I can almost guarantee afterwards you have everyone complaining that the Pelican sucks, "doesn't take skill", is "unfair", "not balanced" and all that.

Really, there's no point in flying a Pelican. Being able to fly your team across the map takes the fun out of everything.

Pelican-flying should be left to cutscenes in Campaign and being able to move around the inside(without a weapon, to eliminate you from killing the pilots to see what would happen).

it would be too hard and there's no use for it


No use eh? It has 50 cal nose gun and rocket launchers, and a rear turret. It transports troops around. No use? Think before awsering.

The pelican is too big. It's not a good idea at all. As someone said earlier it would probally be flown 3rd person as the banchee is, it is just too big to be flown like that. First person would take away the Halo feel. Do you put guns on it? Than it becomes too dominate, does it have no guns? Than it is a sitting duck. For a huge transport vehicle like this, it is hard to ensure balance... It almost makes it pointless.


Maybe some sort of smaller transport flying vehicle. (ex. Helicopter)

I agree with your second point. But we drive Warthogs in Halo, and it isn't a driving game, is it?

  • 06.25.2006 2:42 PM PDT

It would have to be a single player only thing, if it was mp, the maps would beome vehicle dependent(it would take to long to walk across the map if it needs a pelican). Plus if they kept it 8 vs 8 then it would seem pointless.

10 times? what kind of drugs are you on? I want some...Seriously...If it makes people think like a retard, then im all up for it...

Pelicans have good and bad points. Maybe in campaign it would be fun to have a little fly about in a pelican. The only problem would be how much firepower would it take to take one down. Some people have suggested "3 rockets" but thats just crap IMO...Pelicans can take a lot of damage, and I just dont think 3 rockets would take down a vehicle of that size.

As for multiplayer...On the biggest of biggest maps, It would be interesting in games like big team battle...

That would be -blam!- great, like i remember from the other 2 halo games, you could only fly a banshee... do you know how this could make multiplayer or online game maps better? It could really make the maps online made bigger and better and just imagine you can get in the cockpit of a pelican and airlift some backup w/ some more master chiefs and elites and bring in a warthog or even a scorpion tank?!?!

You know, you and I think alike. I told some guy in another thread about voice commanding marines that it isn't very Halo-like at all. These people think that in Halo 3, the whole gameplay will seem to change.
