1. Halo 3 is halo not battlefield or anything like that.
2. There would be no the point of having a Longsword or Pelican in Multiplayer use a banshee or ground vehicle.
3. All ground vehicles are perfect as is putting an ATV or a A phantom would be completely superflous. ( Although variations of the Warthog would be acceptable.)
4. Boats would be another new vehicle being again this is Halo not Battlefield and it would be easy to cheat just by driving a boat to the edge of the map and staying there.
5. Any new vehicle would be completely superflous and just distract the developers from making a better game for all of us that play Halo(s).


And if you dont agree then tell me why there should be. Im pretty sure you can't.

I wouldn't doubt if the Pelican wasn't included because it just doesn't seem like it would fit well with the Halo style of multiplayer. There will probably be some smaller new vehicles though, there's no telling what Bungie might create.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I think there should be no new vehicles (unless if it is the ATV), but besides that anything else would be kind of pointless.

Yea, I agree.

I've been saying in several threads of same origin about how a Pelican would require to big a map, such and such, it would take too long for me to explain.

Again, it's not BattleField. You're right.

However, a new vehicle wouldn't hurt, I mean seriously, I'm only guessing but a vehicle isn't incredibly hard, and Bungie is quite big, they have a lot of people working on this, so I wouldn't be that against it.

A new vehicle would be fun, they didn't really have good vehicle add-ons in Halo 2, I think their ideas would have needed a little fine tuning, but I'm not to judge, I have no idea how hard it is.

So a new vehicle wouldnt' really hurt, would it? And a new vehicle wouldn't detract from the game, it owuld make the game better actually.

adding a pelican isnt pointless. In halo 3 im sure the maps will be huge and like 50 players will be able to play on a similiar map. and with the maps being so large, your going to need to be able to travel across it. I know battlefield did it first, but it would really enhance the multiplayer and overall make it more fun to play.I wouldnt mind an atv neither

I doubt Halo 3 will support more than 16 players, Halo is all about balance, and with more that 16 players balance no longer exists.

New games dont require new vehicles the games vehicles are fine the way the are what would be the point of putting new ones it would be stupid and just a waist of time. And they can improve and have variants of old vehicles.

Dr Illusion, there are many reasons why there should not be a pelican. Such as, but the main one is so.

Yes, maps could be that big, big enough to sustain a Pelican, but in reality, you will need a fleet of Pelicans, there is no way that you can balance a Pelican so that it can be destroyed easily, or survive easily.

You see, imagine that you are at your base, you see a huge monolith coming toward you, the team sees it, what do you do? You shoot it down. You focus your whole power at it,

Sure, suicide run or whatever, but methinks it will be a pain to be blown up a few seconds after you get in the Pelican.

A map big enough to sustain a Pelican would be so confusing and huge, that it would be pointless.

the only new vehicle that's really necessary is a transport vehicle, like the transport hog or a shadow or a pelican or phantom. I also have a similar stance towards weapons (minus the transport part obviously), I think Bungie should focus on balancing the existing weapons rather than adding more, although I think they should add the flamethrower too just to give the humans some more weapons.

Mission hill, there are so many ways the pelican can work. You say that as soon as you get in it you'll die. Sooo, you make so that it takes not one but a couple rockets. That doesnt mean that the people in the pelican would be protected. The pelican could not get destroyed but the people inside could die say for instance if a rocket lands in the rear where they are. It wouldnt be a suicide run neither cause you could position turrets on either side. Im sure the pelican will be in the game and it will work. Also, the pelican is not available on every map, just the ones that hold more than 32 people which there would be

A new vehicle would be sweet like an ATV.They should make a human version of the banshee.Since most of the other vehicles are mostly alike.The convenant has 4 primary vehicles like the wraith the Ghost the Spectre and the banshee but the human side got a warthog wit a bazooka type weapon and the other warthog has the machine gun and they have no air vehicle.

Yes, and mostly no.

To overpower a vehicle to the extent of a Pelican, with turrets, that would require 12 rocket hits or whatever would be very dumb. It's like stacking a 4 year old with an SMG one on one with a guy with a sword, it would be overwhelming.

Maybe not that specific example....but. It would be suicide, I see everyone complaining about how the sword is too powerful, too put that in a vehicle? Pelican, as the version by most people would be like the sword in the form of a vehicle.

actually no, A couple of rockets is like firing a turret at it for 10-15 seconds which really isnt that bad. and since both sides will have a pelican i dont see how its that unbalanced. The pelicans could battle against eachother using the people in the turrets that i mentioned earlier. You cant be so narrowminded. Bungie is not going to make a new game withou adding new weapons and vehicles and so on. They will tweak the gameplay so that nobody can completely overpower another

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Writing Lead of Whisper Studios. Check out Heron!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Pelicans would be cool, so long as the maps were huge (Think Battlefield Huge)

Don't like it? Don't play big team! Or better yet, play it in a custom, and remove vehicles ;)


Pelicans would make Halo a lot better, so long as the map was large enough..you'd need multiple ways to get around. (Look at Containment)


For the large maps, add in Anti Aircraft Missile Turrets, that can only look onto things with a large enough engine (Heat Source) like a Pelican, or Phantom, or Apparition.

True. Bungie won't just through out a vehicle with out balancing gameplay, and I actually came to an agreement in one of the threads, that there could be some maps, possibly just an a mappack, that would have Pelicans.

But I have yet to see how they can tweak gamplay to suit it. And don't forget the maps. A map that would contain a fleet of Pelicans, a fleet being neccesary. Would be to large and too complicated.

People who say they want Pelicans becaue, say, CTF they drop in on the Pelican, a team rushes in, a couple guys get killed, the guy with the flag hops in, it's over, the Pelican returns to base, That would be sweet!!!

Then imagine being on the other team, yea, sweet.

I think Pelicans would be quite cool. As long as they specificly made a gametype on Live for it, didn't make every map compatible for a Pelican, and kept the uniqueness that eminates from all of their maps.
