Is it possible?
mhm probably but it would make firefight way way to easy.
I dont think it would be easy. Since FF matchmaking is on heroic setting and the A.I. has this ridiculous aimbot with projectile weapons, you wouldn’t last long in this thing. Not to mention the jackals and grunts and their perma-PP-emp stuff.
I mean, even the Rocket-Hog on Unearthed is pretty much useless even though it’s supposed the a strong weapon. As soon as you got EMP’d, at least 3 plasma grenades are heading your direction. Elites are dodging the rockets like crazy + the rockets are weak. Ever tried to kill a drop pod Ultra-Elite (equipped with a C-Rifle) with the Rocket Hog? Have fun xD
The best example how a FF situation with a flying player-controlled vehicle would work, is the defense of Halseys lab. If you are to low with the Banshee you die almost instantly from aimbot shots with PRs, Spikers, PPs etc. The only thing what it makes so easy here is that you can fly insanely high. Of course, in a FF map the max flight-altitude needs drastically decreased. Now imagine that scene with a Falcon(!) You are much slower, a bigger target, no bombs, the Falcon turrets are human projectile weapons which can be affected by skulls etc.
>>> The Falcon would be fair (under given settings with a decreased altitude for flying vehicles).
So yeah, 343, make it happen, lol
it would be fun to try it…
I think 343i should give us FFighters some really awesome weapons as the Elites keep bustin us up all of the time!!,and laugh at us when we get killed.

The trick is to drive it up the stairs to the room where you started, park in the back left corner, and angle it slightly to the right. This will give you a line of sight all the way down the bridge outside the door, and you can shoot enemies coming up the stairs at the far end, as well as the stairs in your room. Let everyone come to you and let them have it. Some might call it boosting the Vehicular commendation, but you’re not hacking or cheating in any way. You’d be surprised how long you can last.
I’d rather have a good Gauss Hog, or even a chain-gun Hog. Those are more reliable and have more kill power than the Rocket Hog. The only thing I’ve ever seen the Rocket Hog is good at killing is the Falcon itself.
I would think you would need a banshee or two or an engineer shield to balance it out. Also you need some space to be able to dodge the unholy volley of PP charges, Spire size would be ideal, maybe Overlook at the absolute bare minimum.
Would be interesting to see how it fares against the heretic heavies…

so true
Maybe if they added a Scarab in firefight.

Reach Firefight is already an arcade-style shooter where it is less of a survival mode and more of a mindless carnage mode.
The Falcon should be introduced. Hell, all vehicles need to be introduced.
P.S
Heretic Marksmen would drop a Falcon from the sky in a second.
It’s probably possible, however it’d make firefight even less of a challenge. Stay high enough in the air and you’ve got virtually nothing to bring you down.
Also, the majority of the firefight maps would not suit the Falcon all too well, due to size limitations of each map. There are few firefight maps large enough to allow free and applicable movement of the Falcon, not to mention the Falcon could only be available in Firefight Arcade.
i think this would be a good idea, BUT… i think they should really introduce ALL the vehicles in FF. obviously not on the same map lol or all of em on one
> mhm probably but it would make firefight way way to easy.
I think it would be only in Limited, and customs. Any arcade will probably make it useless. I still would like to see it.

Sorry for the double post, but that would be awesome.
finally a guy that agrees with me! this coupled with forgable firefight maps would probably make a large population boom in the world of firefight!
