I think that the long sword fighter is THE coolest thing ever in halo. It's not fair. The covenant have a small short range fighter ( the banshee), So, why don't the humans?

If anyone can answer this question feel free to.

An eccellent idea. If bungie could incorparate vehicles
into a mode simlar to SW Battlefront 2, that would be impresive.
Bigger maps would be needed however.

Well, I want an MMOFPS game type, with like a huge Human VS Covenant war. Like 100vs100. Long swords are like, the equivilant of the Banshee.

I think that the Longsword is actually going to useable... apparently i heard, not totally true that one of the levels is a Space battle. Dude... the Longswords arent equivalent to the Banshee... Langsowrd would rip 'em apart.

That would be funny in multiplayer though.

You park the banshee behind the bunker in Coagulation... then realize the Longsword is the same size as the entire bunker....

Whoah...

Why should the humans have equivalents to everything that the covies have? Besides the Longsword is massive, too massive for a MP level.

Long sword fighters are equivilant to the covenant seraph fighters. The long swords go much more faster than the banshees. But i think they should make a human version of the banshee.

I think helicopters would be obsolete in 500 years time. The Pelican is the new helicpoter.

Everyone, the WASP or Hornet would be good, go to the link in my sig to find it(halo archives

Why not a futuristic version of the Joint Strike Fighter or Harrier? That would serve a purpose.

I don't expect the Longsword to be usable, at all.

no the long sword should not be in halo 3, and it isnt equal to a banshee. the long sword is for short range support of larger ships when in space. the banshee is more like a short range scout/ close air support within atmosphere and is much smaller and slower, and with worthless ammo compared to the long sword wich can carry a shiva warhead.

If they do in fact make a human craft to match the banshee, it will most likely utilize the same jump-jet technology as the pelican. I doubt that there will be anything though. Pelicans have Archer pods on the wings and .50 Cal guns on the back, more than enough to take down a banshee.

As everyone else has said, the Longsword is way too big and fast to be of any use against a banshee. They are space fighters meant to combat Seraphs.

Longsword fighters are not he Banshee equivelent. The Longswords equivelent is the Seraph Fighter Craft. The equivelent to the Banshee is the scrapped concept atmosphereic fighter "Strike-Fighter".
