What I mean by this is when you first start a game would you like it if you could come into the map inside a drop-ship? meanwhile you can be readying yourself up and if you finish early you can look at your teammates on the drop-ship and watch as you all bail out dropping into the map, once everyone is on the ground (which would be at the same time) the timer starts. This would only be for the beginning of the game, in an invasion type game. Like this picture, except we’re all Spartans and it would be more lit up with hanger open so you can see the map as you fly in.
I would not mind this, in fact, I think it would be pretty cool.
But only in some gametypes.
Or if you were like a ODST you could come in from a drop pod 
I’d love this to be perfectly honest, though if it were to be implemented into every single Match I could see it losing it’s novelty…
…but if it were used in Spartan Ops, I could see it fitting it’s purpose pretty well…
Got an idea. You could choose how you want to start. Either being driven in by warthog, dropped off by pelican, or my favvourite; Helljumping. Thats right boys, im going feet first into hell.
I would imagine it as being a bit like in Battlefield Bad Company 2 at the start of Rush matches on Port Valdez. That was awesome.
at first i thought you ment dropping in the ODST way which it would be cool, but it wouldn’t fit at all. Being dropped off by a pelican makes a lot more sence, it could be a cool loading screen but I cant picture it actually happening.
It would be amazing if you could place drop-ships in forge and they could carry ten people and you could actually drive it, the same would apply for custom games, this would be so amazing for Machinima!
It sounds like a nice idea, make matchmaking a little bit more interesting. But! They are aboard a frigate simulating battles, so would this be a simulated drop ship or two smaller ships inside a large ship?

Plus, if Bungie were able to code flyable Pelicans straight into the game in Halo Reach (although as an Easter Egg) then I am sure 343i can too, and so much more.
It would be nice at first but pretty soon I would be tired of it and just want the game to start.
Think Halo CE: Cartographer. After playing it countless times it’s just like, “LAND ALREADY”.
Nope. Matchmaking search times already take long enough. By the time I find enough players and get through voting, I want to play not go through a loading screen to then wait more.

It would be like the normal loading screen and I even said that it would not take that long.
