Everyone seems to be wondering will there be a human flying vehicle similar to the banshee.
Well my idea for a human flying vehicle would be some kind of fighter helicopter. It would have the jets on the wings of it and on the back but the engine on the back would just be for starting the think and flying it. Moreover, the jets on the wings would be used to boost the helicopter and to manuver it.
So whats your ideas?

Instead of coming up with something new, why not just get rocket and turret mounts for the sides of the Pelican. Then you would have something to transport people and the covenant's destruction. :)

a craft that has an engine system like the pelican but is smaller.

should be much faster than the banshee but unable to do arial manuvers

i would call it the falcon

not sure what weapons it would have it would probably have a chaingun like the warthog...


many people say that the pelican should be included... but if they did
the phantom would also have to be included, which isnt bad at all...


ODST and BRUTE avatars should be included as playable

I'd rather Bungie not waste time trying to implement some kind of new vehicles when, you already have the Banshee, why do you need some human counter part, the real fun comes from hijacking an Elites ride.

Why would the UNSC develop and deploy a vehicle that can't be used in space?

Stick with vector thrust, like the Pelican. I like the Falcon idea.

You act like bungie doesnt have people who work on that kinda stuff. Seriously, the game isnt coming out for a good while and im sure its not too difficult for them to make new vehicles. They did it before. Giving the fans somethign new isnt wasting time.

has anyones seen the island
the flying thing with a turret on it would be perfect one man flys it the other shoots

  • 06.30.2006 10:28 AM PDT

They should just make up a different type of vehicle, like a hovercraft warthog.

Yeah a hovercraft is a good idea because it wouldnt be that fast and it should easy to destroy with enough shots.

Why would it be easy to destroy? Besides, a hovercraft would also be pretty useless. Vector thrust is where it's at.

I think there should be an jet fighter, similair to a Tomcat, (basically a normal jet fighter plane used in the military). It would have 2 chainguns on the front, and missles. To even out the banshee and the Tomcat, the banshee would have the banshee bombs (only in campaign for Halo 2). There would really be no difference in the 2 aircrafts other than the looks. Maybe the Jet could go faster but not have the ability to flip and stuff.

I am your shield. I am your sword.

we already have fighter planes that can take off vertically rather than having to go down a runway and get speed. Sweet sweet new technology, if we have stuff like that now, i think 500 yrs into the furture we would have something far more advanced. So i wouldnt think that a small one man jet kinda thing would be too far outa the question. Maybe it looks for like a jet but has more of a helicopters manueverability. I'd call it the VT Pheonix (VT= Vertical Thrust). eehh its an idea. I would have to agree with whoever said that it would be faster than a banshee but not be able to do as many "arial acrobatics"

Do you not remember the ATV quad they tried to make for H2? I doubt it's easy.

eeeeeagle

A scaled down pelican varient that has capacity for 4 ; pilot(first man in), gunner(2nd), and passengers(3rd + 4th) the weapons should be; chin gun, slow reasonable weak homing rockets, and turret in the back.

I like the idea of the helicopter though....that sounds more suitable to Halo but we'll see...

Thank you zeerokool for defending my topic. But still we really should have some more human vehicles because the covenant have way to many. In addition, we just can't kill them all with just two vehilces. Bungie really should make more human vehicles. Infact bungie say they could make new vehilces much more easier than redoing the old ones.

Anyhow back to topic. What we need would be like the helicopter I mentioned earlier. it would have machine guns on either sides of the wings and have a rocket launcher in the center of it.

Another really strange idea just popped into my head....if you have ever seen The Incredibles (yeh wierd...my littles brothers watch it all the time) those flying "things" that look like a donut with blades would be cool. I think the bad guys use it or something.

i was reading OXM and they did say if there was a pelican it would be cool to pick up vehicles and drop them off...

that would be a good idea but it would have to be smaller than the pelican...

it would also be cool to pick up vehicles and destroy them like the enforcers do in campaign
but it should only kill the vehicle not u...

Anyway, thye should have a tradeoff. DON'T put in a human banshee counterpart, and put in the pelican but DON'T put in a phantom. (in MP of course) BTW, anything you try to make like a banshee that is humna isn't gonna work with the technology that the humans have. You could make a miniture jet, but it'd look retarded and go to slow to be a jet. Just don't bother making one, but put the pelican in.

Well what about a helicopter? I mean those dont go like mach 4 in seconds...and you could hover like a banshee and hold 2 more people that operate a machine gun, although it couldn't do arial tricks.

Yeah but they made it along with like 6 other types of Warthogs that didnt make it into the game. Im pretty sure they just didnt fit what they were doing. I think thats what they said, that or that they just didnt have enough time but i think they have more time to work on H3 than they did with H2

Actually, those are our names. I could probably come up with a few more, though.

If they really had the time to put in new vehicles, that would be great, it's just I really want the campaign to be the absolute best it can be, and if that means not having new vehicles and just updates of current models, then that's what I would want, ya know?

There could be smaller version of the peclican prephaps just having a pilot. Moreover, it would have longer wings so the jets could be on there and have the machine gun on the wings also. Then have the rocket launcher on the tip of the modified pelican.
How does that sound and plz no spamming just tell what needs to be fixed.
