…who is actually happier that we get a new Phaeton instead of a Falcon?
I mean what would you do with a Falcon, its basically a free triple kill for everyone with a Laser or Rockets. It cant dash or anything like that to dodge and is useless when nobody else gets in.
Nope… I love the phaetons.
I’m pumped to use the new phaeton. So glad it’s not a falcon.
I was kind of hoping it would be a Phaeton.
You’re right, they would have to give the Falcon some sort of boost to make it worthwhile.
Know how many times I spawn warthogs and no one gets in them… same thing would happen to falcons. They would be sitting ducks. Now I would like to see a hornet as like a level six or seven req. But I am totally happy with a phaeton variant.
Well i never used a falcon but did use a hornet and the hornet is just way better then a falcon
didn’t someone lighten the oni picture and show it was a phaeton anyways?
The Falcon would be good for Custom Games and BTB. But I guess those are already a shdow of their former selves in Halo 5, so who cares.

Which isn’t out of the question.
A front chaingun and grenade launchers or Hydras on the side turrets, for instance, would be great for instance.
If you like the pheaton fine by me. I’ll just shoot it on the bottom cause they’re terrible. A falcon. Now just give grenade turrets and a good pilot and say goodbye to the enemy team.
Nope. I’m glad it wasn’t the Falcon because I’d much rather a Hornet.
You’re not alone man. If anything I am relieved we are getting a Phaeton variant as it was the one vehicle missing one. The Falcon would have been very underwhelming anyways. I would have welcomed a Revenant maybe but not a Falcon. Besides, Hornets are way better and would have been a better UNSC air vehicle to add if they were to include one. My favorite thing about the update are the armors, Plasma Rifle, and Infection of course! Nonetheless I am certainly thrilled for this update and absolutely cannot wait!
Someone in my company actually brought this up too. I hadn’t thought about this before really, but it’s definitely true. The falcon would be incredibly easy to splaser down, especially with an Endgame or Selene’s Lance. There’d have to be some type of additional feature for them.

As you sit in your Falcon imagining that happening, you are suddenly rocked by an explosion; as your slow and unwieldy helicopter approached a base, you were slammed by the impact of several Railgun shots and maybe a laser. Cursing, you watch as you see yourself falling to the ground 3rd person amongst a heap of metal.
I’m definitely okay with the Phaeton variant, it needed one. Falcon is a useless hunk of junk anyway. Much rather have the Spectre!
Now I’m actually kind of glad they didn’t add the Falcon. With the way that the community is currently complaining about the lack of the Falcon, I almost think they don’t deserve to have that satisfaction.
I hope the people saying the Falcons to weak realizes that it can just be buffed so it takes two splaser shots or rockets to prevent an easy triple. I liked flying it in Reach, it was another vehicle that required coordination from the pilot and it’s gunners, which made for good matches. A competent pilot could easily move the Falcon away from incoming fire, I did plenty of times. On Spire the Falcon dominated, I remember getting my friends on frenzy’s, taking out banshees and anyone trying to take us out, seeing incoming Plasma launcher, then that awesome feeling when I dodged it.
I’d rather a Falcon because of the stories I hear of phaetons being obscenely rare to unlock, and now they made one that’ll be even harder to get.
Have only used the Phatty once and got one kill, then died 3 seconds later. All through the power of a level 5 random weapon, which was pretty dope to begin with. But yeah, would love to get a few more or at least practice in forge if that’ll ever happen.
I’m not angry of it being a phaenton instead of a falcon, it was useless in MP anyway, but it could have waited untill “Hog Wild” releases since it is a vehicle focused update, for “Memories of Reach” they should have added something related to reach, like the emile’s shotgun and jun’s sniper, since they were already on development, not a phaeton
