Ok Dropships uses are going to be critical on huge maps. My idea is that we have this huge Forerunner Facility Station (Like the one on the level "The Arbiter and The Oracle").

Offence Team Equipment:
1 Pelican
3 Banshee
3 Helicopter
AA Missle Site

Objective: The offence is to take the pelican and infultrate the base which is a small room (like the one were the heritc leader takes his banshee in the level "The Arbiter".) The Pelican drops off troops into the room and the person gets the flag. Once the guy has the Flag the Pelican with its help from its escorts, take him back to there side of the station.

Defence Eqqipment:
3 Banshee
3 Helicopter
Missle Platform
An Extra Platform for Ant-Air Guns and rockets

Objective:
Use AA guns to destroy pelicans and its escorts, also use banshee or helicopter to destroy Dropships and there escorts in Air to Air Combat.



Map Discription: The Spawnpoints are either in the hanger or a platform
Each platform has a banshee and a helicopter and 4 AA turrets and rockets and Fuel rod cannons are everywhere.
The Hanger has a Pelican in it (on offence, Defence theres nothing there). with one banshee and one helicopter. With A A Guns around it, Once the Offence goes in you can Battle Rifle him to death.
The Pelican should take 4 rocket hits to get destroyed, and also should have the capability of flares so distract rocket locks.

i agree with it. but the pelican idea is something i would kill for... but they can have it on maps where theres 2 zanzibar like islands. i say zanzibar because of the defensive stratageys along wit the offensive. the offensive pelican can deploy on the beach, over the base, on the wall, or other various places. i would love it. now the maps would have be huge. somewhere around coag and containment combined. ofcourse the defensive team would get 1 set of rockets but a few aa turnets. the banshee can be destroyed but they are also very resiliant and can also return fire. (the pelicans weapons will be auto or have a second pilot positon for a weapons person). pelican weapons are the chin gun only. pelican respawn time if destroyed would be 1 min

how about you just do this in a big dessert
flying to your enimies base.in your peli thats loaded to the brim with 15 guys and a tank. you drop em off and fly back halfway across the area and wait for their call back. you come to a big battle guns blazin and one of your guys alive with thr flag. he gets in gets a hold the automated turret on the back he starts shooting like mad while you fly back home while suddenly a phantom flys up in front of you. your charging at each other you fly up at the last minute.you drop your friend on top of it he charges in with an energy sword slits his throat an takes it and flys it back to your base while unknowing to you theyre hopping in thier shadow and charging to your base ready for revenge.

This sounds like a lagfest to me. Do you realize the amount of power the console would need to suport this? Maybe with two 360's.

Pelicans, Raptors, Long swords would be great to pilot in multiplayer ,of course the maps would have to be quite large to house these types of aircraft I Imagine an Isle of tropical islands or a city Urban scape would be large enougth & cool to play in.
