I think they should so our friends or teammates could call in airstrikes, but the downside is that it takes 2 people to pilot.

Does anyone here realize how large a Longsword is?
It would have trouble being used on a map the size of Coag.
And its a space fighter.
not a one manned fighter vessel like the Banshee.

A Pelican would make more sense than a Longsword in multiplayer. A Longsword sounds more appropriate for a single player level.

Allright look here. This is how we solve the pelican longsword ect ect. problem i say bungie makes 1 or 2 flying only maps where you have 2 air bases seperated by water or sometihng and your goals would be like to destroy each others air base with air vehicles and then ground foreces dropped in each others bases via pelicans and such how about that.

Long Swords are MUCH larger than Pelicans, and fly MUCH faster as well.

There won't be a map large enough to let you fly a Jet going at Mach 7.


Besides, Halo is NOT a flying game, to everyone who is saying "ZOMG havu evr plyed SW roge squadron? its so sw33t!!1"

Two seats for Two Pilots.
And Chief had Cortana to assist.
Not to mention he didn't do any combat while in the Longsword.

Longsword = Cool but also big, very, VERY big. You remember how big they are from Halo's Maw? That thing was huge. I don't think it is a good idea, it is too big.

No, Longsword beasts over Pelican. So what if you saw two seats? That doesn't mean that there aren't more. Hell with as big as they are there could be more than one deck.

Yea I mean if you look at the Longsword before you reach it in the Maw, it's way bigger than the Pelican is

The longsword is too fast. I think they need to make a one person hovercraft/copter vehicled that is around the same speed as the banshee for more equal gameplay.

"Uhhh dude," that thing is obviously bigger than a Pelican. So what if we only saw him walk through one door?

The cockpit may seem small but the wingspan is the problem fitting it in a multiuplayer map. So let Bungie be creative and put it in a single player.

Or if you beat Halo on Legendary their should of been an extra mission where you fly the Longsword back to Earth lol

A Longsword is basically a small ship. Pelicans go VERY fast for what they are if I remember right, they were built to go just under slip stream speed and could easily be modified to go faster.

Okay. Did you beat Halo: CE? If you did, then you were up close to both a Pelican and a Longsword. If so, you should know that the Longsword is only dwarfed by the Pillar Of Autumn itself. Anyway, I am not going to argue 'which ship is bigger', I am better than that. So, bye! :-)
