Highjacking a dropship:

1)Jump on cockpit
2)Punch out window
3)Kill Pilot
4)Make the Dropship do a 90 degree upwards spin
5) Make all passengers fall out

That would be awesome
but dropships would be way to easy to win at, say, CTF, or assault.........

or make it were the flag carrier cant ride in it. The bomb guy can though. And also the drop ship would be kind of easy to shoot down. Say about 3-4 rockets

They could make it so they can ride in it but if enough bullets hit the cockpit the windshield is broken and makes the pilot a sitting duck,then if he dies the dropship spins out of control and everyone would be forced to bail....

a large cap vehicle has already been featured, so why not..
remember the scorpian allowing serveral to "ride".?

why the heck not, the game can handle it, and if it adds to that fun factor then yes please!!

i voted for only in some gametypes.

CTF and assault would be too one-sided. unless the defending team had a large armory in the defending base, filled with rockets and other anti-aircraft weaponry.

the dropship would be awesome in slayer, though.

yeah if there was a drop ship, bases should be armed with anti air craft only use for sky use not on ground players because that would not be very fair.

I also wonder if both teams get the same drop ship or like blue gets a phantom and red gets a pelican

It would be unbalanced. If one team gets both dropships, then the other team will almost definitely lose, and one mistake should not determine the outcome of a game. Neither should spawn points.

Yeah...that would be easy to shoot down...

The Scorpion was woefully slow and everyone started with a Pistol in Halo 1 (which is the only game that allowed multiple players to ride in the Scorpion), so everyone had the ability to shoot it down pretty easily.

I say only two rockets take them out and passengers can e shot at and can shoot out.

okay mabey it has more power ful shields. Or mabey you have to destroy something on the drop ship thats kind of hard to hit and that would bring down the ships shield

It would also be that the other team could not take the other teams drop ship unless it was boarded or it came into their territory. And once it is destroyed there is no respawn.

When u play relic on assult and you, bomb guy and a gunner all pile in the worthog to use it as a quicker way to get to the base what happens... though the power and magic of halo that car suddernly will get a magnetic field and attract every bullet, grenade, rocket, plasma and rock in a 10 mile radius to collide into that worthog. The same will happern if they introduce dropships. Just bigger magnets.

The Warthog would only effectively be piloted by three people, which means that there would only be about a maximum of five people left to attack the other team. The Dropships could probably effectively be piloted by one person because that one person would probably be able to ram infantry, which means that there would be about seven people left to attack the other team, and the Pelican would probably be insanely strong. The Warthog is taken out with one Rocket, but the Dropship will apparently be taken out with a minimum of two Rockets, and it would probably be fast.

Why is Just in small maps an option? Who would want drop ships (pilotable at that) in Foundation? lol. I guess it could be cool in the biggest of big maps, and even then only if it was an option to have them or not, and probably shouldn't have them in ranked games either.

Why can't there be more than one dropship per team? It will balance it out more, one ship gets destroyed there is another to back it up. Its ridiculous how people whine that the dropship will not be balanced. Just put more rockets on the map, problemed solved, or more tanks or whatever. Dropships will make the game alot more fun and immersed in the Halo universe. It would be an awesome sight to see. And a vehicle doesn't have to be BALANCED with an infantry player (except for boarding it), that just ruins the game. Players should be afraid when they see a dropship or tank and hide, not be like "well since everything is balanced i can just take it out with my SMG no big deal" the player should use his or her head and avoid the vehicle simple as that.

hey what about a doge rocket feature on it say you hit B or somthing (it would have to be timed and require skill to pull off. Like in black hawk down when the helo does that jink and the rocket misses. Those who have seen the movie will know what i am talking about.
