Still, in MP, balance wins over realism. The Banshee doesnt have the FRG attachment in MP, and the wraith doesnt have the mini turrets. Things can change.

yeah I do to a little...... but that idea of the explosion is a good idea but now that I think of it if someone kills a pelican with all 10 people in it than it would be a pretty easy 10 kills. :( :O

Ultima Geek, I don't think youre getting just what I'm saying.

My point is that, a Pelican would not be fitting for multiplayer, a gametype that would neccesitate in a Pelican would need to house at least need 80 people or more, and that takes away from Halo's gameplay.

And by that I mean, Halo's gameplay is easy going, you have a sense of what is going on. Every map has a unique style, that you know where you are, and you can get there.

And stop dissecting what I say, when I say, the maps don't have invisible walls, I mean that they are confined! Sure you could try to bounce out, and then you would be stuck, but Halo's maps are in their own little world.

Playing a game with 80 people would take away from the core of the gameplay, you can't talk to people, well you can, but not on the same level as Halo.

When they made maps like Coag and gametypes like Big Team Battle, they wanted to make it so that you don't exactly know what's going on. Which was their intention, to differ from the norm, and don't say that a Pelican would differ from the norm too, because a Pelican is different.

And when I say that a Pelican would be a GOD weapon/vehicle, I mean it, sure you can justify yourself with the rockets, but a Pelican would be too fast, or it would stop, the gunner would target the guy, and shoot him up.

So I want Halo to just be Halo.

Superhalo2fan, I'M not understanding what YOU are saying? It's more like YOU are not understanding what I'M saying.

I think the Pelican would have been a great idea, but you guys are trying to come up with ways to put it in without realizing what kind of game Halo is! YES! A pelican would be so cool! The things you are coming up with seem like they would work!!! But do you want this huge battle were you don't have a clue what is going on, its Capture the Flag, you don't know who has the flag on your team, its missing, you see some guy get sniped next to you, the map is so big you can't see the sniper. And you get mowed down by a Pelican.


That sounds like fun!!!


I think that if Bungie could come up with maybe one or two maps with which a Pelican would work, that would be great, just fantastic, but only one or two.

I want to feel the same sense of awe that eminated from the maps they came up with. Lockout, Backwash, Zanzibar, but a map with a Pelican? That would be quite a challenge for Bungie.

If Master Chief was holding a banana in Halo 1, as long as the gameplay is good, I could care less.

Lol I'm sorry but that is total bullsh** and you know it. You would be pissed if the Master Chief used only fruit as weapons.

I'll expand on my original idea: The turret on the Vehicle takes about as much damage to kill as a fully shielded spartan. It doesnt have a shield, but has an armored casing that shells off. Once thats gone it is basically as hard to kill as a shieldless spartan. You can ram with it, But to balance that, you are slowed down in backing up. they CAN JACK YOU. they can jump on the front, punch out the glass and shoot you, no fail no miss. You can of course hop out, but then the vehicle crashes.

To stop undeserved Killimanjaros, The Cockpit will be like the tanks; even if you can clearly see the drivers head because of damage you cant snipe them. (Sidenote: you should be able to snipe them out of tanks, I was just using that as an example)

I don't think anyone said anything about putting a pelican in all maps. This game has to be much bigger and better the H2. I want all the thing that were supposed to come in H2 but didn't. Bungie need to take MP to the next level, if not all they'll have is new maps and some new guns. I want to feel like I'm in a epic battle, and the only way " I think " to do it is to implament dropshig, fighters etc.

Okay, youre right, only one or two maps though, I want the feeling of individuality that the maps in Halo 2 had to offer, and make a gametype that woudl be like , HUGE Team Battle, but honestly, I don't think Bungie will do this.

I agree with you, only on some maps. But by having these ships it open up allot of new possibility in your team strats. I really hope bungie put these request form it fans into the game. If not then there running stale.

Bigger isn't always better.

I love the feeling that you get whenever you take the time to look at every mep individually.

The glass covered snowy structure that houses deadly secrets.
The first attempts at creating a housable environment on a different planet.
In the middle of a jungle.....

Every map has its own world.




I think it would be cool if Bungie released a map pack like they did for Halo 2, it would be called Big Team Map Pack or something, and it wuld have like 6 maps that would have Pelicans or something.

And there would be a gametype on Live that would only use one of the six maps. Yea, That would be cool.

I think there should be a new Covenant vehicle, simply called the " Lemon meringue pie ". It will have all the usual properties of It's namesake except for the fact that the Lemon in the pie has been replaced with HICC, which stands for High Impact Covenant Cabbage, and when stood on by an unwary combatant will do absolutely nothing.
