I support the idea of pelican's in mp, and that I agree, the maps should be larger. That's all. But with the idea of a pelican, I shall type something else introducing a new idea to aerial combat.
Map: New Mombasa City
Gametype: Single Life Assault
Team Setup: Spartans Versus Elites
You start up as a Spartan. A buddy picks up the bomb, while another ally runs inside a pelican for the pilot's seat. You hop in, along with the bomb guy, and two other friends. As the pelican leaves the ground, you hear a faint whizzing. Banshees! Your pilot speeds up into the city warzone, flying fast. The banshees catch up, opening fire. Your buddy steps up into the turret and fires at the banshee while you shoot from your seat. Suddenly, a locked on rocket smashes into the turret. Your ally falls out of the pelican, his head bobbing and arms swaying as he smashes into the bloody concrete. Another rocket smashes into the left wing, and you shake up with some damage. As the pelican flies by, it nearly crashes into a skyscraper. The banshees still are hammering the pelican, so you throw a beautiful plasma grenade and it hits a banshee. The elite hops out of the banshee, rather taking chances with a long drop. As he hits the ground, the other banshee flies low. The Elite taps X and beautifully hops on the side of the banshee for a ride! Hanging on the wing, the banshee flies up. You see the elite and fire at it, and it fires back at you. But the banshee ascends higher and flies above the pelican. In an instant, you hear a clank... The elite is ontop of the pelican. The pilot frantically sways back and forth, but he can't be stopped. Suddenly, the cockpit flies open and the driver is tossed out. (This is a death rather than just being jacked. C'mon, who could live through that?) Who is piloting the ship? You get up from your seat and from the interior of the pelican, you look to the bomb buddy, frantically turning and considering leaping onto a skyscraper. While hot plasma from a banshee ruins the pelican's green paint job, the elite hops into the driver seat. You get up and walk to the interior. A cold barrel touches the elite's upper jaw as you press on the trigger, killing the elite instantly. You turn the pelican back to it's present course and fly low. The enemy base! BOOM! Another rocket slams into the pelican and pieces of the pelican begin flying off. A large part of the wing flies backwards and slams into the Banshee, immediately causing it to explode. (Cool physics!) You can't keep it in the air any longer, so you go for a landing. Crash! Your pelican skids onto the road and straight into the small building used as a covenant command center. The bomb guy hops out, and you do as well, climbing out of the back. You scramble to your feet and turn left and right, an elite opens fire with a plasma rifle, while you introduce you're buddy, the Submachine gun. After barely surviving the battle, the bomb guy plants the bomb.
Some words flash across your screen.
New Objective: Escape the Explosion Radius!
A target appears on your screen. Apparently, this bomb is planning on knocking out a chunk of Mombasa controlled by the covenant slime. You quickly run out the door along with the bomb guy. Turning left and right, you stare at a fresh banshee. You hop in the driver seat and your buddy plants himself on the wing of the banshee. As you accelerate into the air, you cheer. Nothing can stop you! You are going to win! You slowly come back to reality and cheer on your Xbox Live mic. But you hear a familiar sound. A locked on rocket heads right for you. Your buddy on the wing, aims his smg and begins firing at it. It explodes in mid-air as he hits it, the blast taking out your buddy's shield and damaging the wing he was sitting on. Your banshee creaks with damage and can hardly sustain the heavy weight of Mjolnir armor. Suddenly, a sniper shot slams into the side of your banshee and you swurve left and right. Another sniper shot hits the wing on wich your buddy is sitting on. The wing pops off and he drops out of the sky, arms flailing. Dead. You are the last spartan left on your team. The elite has a decent shot, and you see your finish line ahead. He locks on his last rocket. Pshoo! It heads straight for you. As it is about to make lethal contact, you pull a beautiful aerial backwards roll and the rocket flies slowly off course into the sunset. You hear an explosion as you get closer to your finish line. Using your rear view, you see a large explosion spreading around the area. As the flames of the explosion grasp at your banshee (which is heated by the explosion) you speed past the escape zone and cheer. Suddenly, a male announcer says, "Round 2."
