January 30, 2004 (Warthog's Day)
The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

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.

I think thats the way to go. But I think it would make it more fun and interesting if a co-pilot was required to use the guns. That way its not just a human banshee.

It would be nice to have a pelican with a gauss cannon for the turret. The idea of a helicopter in Halo just seems too old fashion for the game, maybe a smaller one person aircraft that incorperated the banshee's thrust system with a few rockets and chaingun would work well.

*again if times permits their proper implementation

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?


longsword fighter; already in the halo-verse, and is versatile/has cannons

Human flight technology can't get small enough to compare to the maneuverability and efficiency of the Banshee. I would hardly suggest Bungie inventing some last minute thing that ONI invented on the spot for the last part of the invasion...
We should just stick to what we've got, and be happy we can actually drive banshees, and enjoy how banshees are so frail, even against their own devices...

Do you not realize how big that is?!

Halo 3: Collapse
Chapter 20, Revelations, is up (update 11-14-10)
The Mirratord

How about you have the option to jump in the back of a pelican and use either its mounted 50-cal sticking out the back or your own weapons to provide cover to a convoy? You wouldn't be able to control where it's flying, but that would probably be a good thing because then there wouldn't be people trying to fly off-map and slamming into invisible walls.

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 do we need new guns?

Why does MC need new armour?

Why should Brutes, Drones and Prophets suddenly appear in Halo 2 when they wern't in halo 1?

Why give the ghost a boost?

Why give the hog a horn?

Why make a gauss turret?

You see where I'm going?

Whats with these retorical questions?

Anyway, the point I am trying to make, is why not?

They shoud have the pelican as a sort of transpot vehicle where one person can fly it to a point on the map then other players riding in it can come along same for the covanet

Believe

My gametag is not sparda34b, it was an error, gamertag is Sparda3b.

I think there should be a heli also but its missle/bomb should e stronger than the fuel rod but the heli shlould have no boost this way they are diffrent but both are equal. heli in strenght and banshee in speed.

A helicopter. Its the year 2552 in the game and you expect them to use a helicopter. He## no! They should make a fighter jet, but it dont have 2 be a human banshee. It can be used on a mission were u have 2 repel scarabs and phantoms from the city. The point is just no helicopter. its way too old for this game.

Personally i think a lightweight VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) plane/helicopter/vehicle would do the trick, thing is, why? We already have a banshee. Unless there is going to be some type of Human Vs Covenant multiplayer gametype i would not suggest making another type of flying vehicle, because unless they made the Bansee and this VTOL exactly the same, the sides would become uneven. Personally they are already uneven if there was a Covenant Vs Human gametype, in my opinion Covie wins, except the fact that they would be Elites. (because they have Carbine and Plasma Pistol, Sword, and could also include Fuel Rod Cannon). if they wanted to they COULD however make it so the VTOL replaces a Banshee in a certain gametype/custom game, like the Wraith replaces a Scorpion for heavy vehicle and such.
