Airstrikes? Hell no...

"Bobby, clean up on Aisle 1."
"Gotcha."
*Blue base explodes*

No...just no...

And a longsword is like as big as Warlock...too big...and too damn fast...

ok why doesnt anybody get this!!!!! LOngswords are only alittle bit bigger that the pelican. Go look at warlock. thats a big level in a way. Longswords are Fighters not Prowlers which are the smallest ship in the UNSC. Longswords have 1 deck, 2 seats, 1 cryo-tube, and 2 engines. They cant enter slipspace and are heavy fighters. They fit INSIDE the PoA and The PoA can fit like 10 pelicans so this totally proves my point. And what i mean by smallest is smallest Warship class ship.

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.
ok smart one whatever. !st of all look at the ending of halo, theres 2 SEATS. And Longswords are smaller that pelicans.

Two seats for Two Pilots.
And Chief had Cortana to assist.
Not to mention he didn't do any combat while in the Longsword.
Yes they did, but it was once the Covenant (who had jumped out of system when the Flood were released) came back in system -- they captured the Flag ship :: Ascendant Justice, and destroyed a few ships, before Cortana jumped out of system..

They stopped at Reach, picked up the Spartans...Went to the "Unyielding Hierophant" (Covenant mobile station) blew it up (on the way a few Spartans were KIA and a Brute killed another -- Grace)

The only surviving ships were around 15, which are the ones Regret comes with after getting them slightly repaired.

The wingspan is what makes it big. It would be unfair and stupid in multiplayer anyways. The only place it belongs is in single player.

Also, the number of things on deck doesn't matter -- the Wing Span is much larger than a Pelican, and it's a fast moving vehicle.

Longsword is also twice as big as a Pelican.

Plus, if you watch the E3 trailer, the 2 longswords couled wipe out half a level with one shot. The missiles blew opena pretty big hole in the CCS before Master Cheif set off the bomb.

It would move so quickly that you would crash after one half of a second of flying it. Also, it's so big that it would be way to easy to run people over with it, and if there was a map that was big enough to house it, then it would be annoying to get across that map unless you were in a vehicle. Besides, stop making up facts about how big the Longsword is. Since when could the Pillar of Autumn hold only ten Pelicans? From where do you get your facts?

Take it from someone who plays Halo Custom Edition on the, PC, the long swords kinda re over powered on the huge maps. They are big and bulky, and if they were to be armed with nukes the map would pnly focus on who gets the longswords.
Here's a screenshot from Halo CE of a longsword smashed into the PoA.
Oh and one more thing, it has two floors. And its a tight spot to walk in, you really do have to crouch in game.

but the point is you could fit a longsword in the really BIG multiplayer maps. NOTICE the CAPITILIZATION of BIG??? Maybe i put that their for a reason. Oh and i dont really think that that chart is extremely accurate considering the fact that a mac station wipes out a capitol ship in 1 shot.

Again, if there was a map that was big enough to house a Longsword, then it would be horrible to move across it unless your were in a vehicle.

The problem with a BIG map is that if your team mates fall out, they basically have no way of getting back. Its a huge issue that appeared on the map Hugeass from Halo Custom Edition. Everytime someone jumped off, it would take around 5 minutes to walk from the middle of the map back to the base.

Bungie doesnt want to make massivley huge levels. That's why people don't play Contaiment. It only makes sense to put it in single player

I agree with Sm00thi3. It would probably only work in Campaign, and even then I still have doubts.

Well lets say in Halo 3. When Master Cheif kills Prophet of Truth, he has to destroy the Forerunner ship, so he leaves the ship somehow, grabs a Longsword and the blows the ship up. Of course this would all be gameplay.

Capital ships weren't shown on there anyway. Either way, that chart is accurate, and a round can put a round through a capital ship. It says nothing about taking it out in one shot.

If you read the books, it goes into detail on fighting warships, and Covenant ships can take up to 3 MAC rounds, since their Bridge is nestled deep inside the center of the ship, rather than at the front.


Heh, this kid just got trowned. You lost kid, you'r not putting your foot anywhere.

I don;t think this thread even has a purpose.
Obviously Bungie won't put the Longsword in multiplayer.
I don't understand why these types of threads have to be spammed by individuals who do not consider practicality and Gameplay elements.

Dude, stop pulling things out of your ass. Since when can the PoA only hold 10 pelicans? The only thing your post proves is that you're an idiot.

a CCS is a pretty thick ship. I'm sure that a MAC gun couldn't blow through it with one hit.
