I know that this is a topic that I’m sure will be argued until the game actually comes out in 2012, and I was looking at the forums and already saw a post about it. I think air combat will be an important feature in halo 4, but it would be simply impossible to put a vehicle bigger than a falcon in multi-player, even though a pelican would be cool. There simply aren’t enough players on map to balance a vehicle of that size. What would the point of a pelican be anyway. If you fully load it you would have literally the entire 16 person game in it. Unless you want to increase the amount of people in a game the pelican is impossible. Plus if someone shot down anything bigger than a falcon they get an automatic really high multi-kill. The falcon however was a great vehicle, and I hope it is brought back, or a similar vehicle is added. I would like maybe 1 or 2 more air vehicles to be added, just because I love flying in shooter games. I enjoyed the falcon much more than the hornet from Halo 3, I would like also maybe see a new covenant flying vehicle other than the banshee as well. Of course this is all from a multi-play stand point. In the campaign 343 can put whatever they want in there. I have to say, I’m pretty excited to see what 343 has to do, and I hope that add all kinds of new features for us, the community, play with. Thanks, and I hope this stops people for asking for huge pointless vehicles in multi-player.
Personally I’d prefer something newer then the Falcon. What if a multy person enemy vehicle is made and a new multy person UNSC vehicle is made so now all we need is a one person UNSC vehicle, I think Longswords would be great.

Longswords are kinda big, what about Shortswords instead?
Once again, even short swords would be too big and practically impossible to balance. Those ships are for bombing, and go really fast. It would be impossible to fly one of them even on boneyard (the biggest map in any halo game). I would love to see new flying vehicle, but those are ships that are simply impossible. Plus you would have serious trouble shooting a short sword down. I would like it in campaign though. In multi-player you need a small personal carrier, that carries no more than 3 or 4 people, and is relatively easy to destroy with the correct weapons. In less you want to make the game more the battlefield in map size and player cap, jets are not going to work. That is why the long and short sword don’t work, sorry.
I don’t see anything other than a Hornet or Falcon working bro. =/
Unless 343 puts in Forerunner stuff!
I want to see a Spartan being able to use the following air vehicles sometime in the future titles:
- UNSC HAWK (upgraded form of Hornet)
- UNSC Pelican (you know we’ve been wanting this for so long!)
- Sabre matchmaking battle
- AV-14 Hornet
- UNSC Falcon
- GA-TL1 Longsword

this but a Shortsword instead of the Longsword, it just seems more practical to me.
