I think it would be cool if you could pilot Pelicans. I'm not saying I want to spend an entire level bussing marines around but maybe just use it to maybe drop some marines in strategic positions by which you choose. Although I do see some flaws. It might take away the aspect of the "shooter" game. I think it might be a little much. But if Bungie made it controlled it might be cool.

SB-117

Of course it would be cool but its just so big!, You'd need your 3rd person cam to zoom out a fair bit! and it'd be crap in multiplayer! I'd prefer these closeup maps and boarding ghosts and stuff myself!

It would be pointless. Think about it, wow I can fly a pelican, Im a giant aphid flying around (picked aphid because I couldnt think of something else that harms you... ) all you are in a pelican is a target, thats it. Im sure everyone would like it at first but in a good week or two everyone would hate it. I know I would.

A pelican would be nice, but it has no real offensive or defensive capabilities....unless they add the nose cannon to it. Maybe something smaller.

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


Hell yeah that will be cool like in Muilt-Player u can take ur friends and drop them off at the enemy base and u can ram the Pelican into your enemy as they are running or in the Warthog Smash them like bugs!! That will be fun to be able to fly anything and drive anything u want!!

They have a pelican mod for Halo PC and Mac. You can fly the pelican and drop off teammates, but that's about it.

Is it hard top fly the Peliam or similar to a Banshee or different?

Its actually the same as a banshee. But it is slightly less maneuverable and its only for transport.

Are you guys sure that's a turret at the back of the pelican? Couldn't it be a winch? I mean, how else do they carry wathogs?

I just can't get a good enough look at it
