I feel that the Falcon should be re-added by the fact there are no Air vehicles that use teamwork. There should be variations of the vehicle like the Standard, ONI, and Hannibal.
I don’t think it NEEDS to be added… I can rarely get any one to gun in a wart hog so it would just be another vehicle no one guns for.
Falcon would be fun, I just hope they add a forgable version where you can get people in the inner seats of the darn thing.
i think they should add them mostly since it will give people more teamwork moments and i just like the idea of having it
for machinima and forge
Need? No.
Would an aerial vehicle that fits a different niche than the Banshee, Wasp, or Phaeton be nice? Sure. But it’s not necessary. I would have preferred the Falcon to the Wasp, but what’s done is done.
So because there currently are no team based aerial vehicles there never should be?
It just doesn’t work with how Halo 5 is designed, particularly in Warzone. Getting both gunners was hard enough in Reach, but keeping them wasn’t, since you had fall damage. We now totally lack any meaningful fall damage, so they can just bail whenever they want. In Warzone, you will spawn exposed, and you will have to search for gunners. Getting them in your warthog or tank is hard enough- a vehicle that can be taken down much more easily? You wish.
It is simply just that.
If it is not Warzone-viable, it will not be added to Halo 5. The Falcon is not Warzone Viable without CONSIDERABLE OVERHAUL.
Honestly, with the absurdly powerful weapons we have in Halo 5, I think that a Falcon would be disastrously outmatched by everything. We have rockets, lasers, grenade launchers, saws, plasma casters, railguns, needlers, plasma pistols, chainguns, hydras, snipers, gauss turrets, rocket turrets, and even loadout weapons that can take down a Falcon, while the Falcon has no offensive capabilities unless it’s manned by two extra passengers. And those chainguns are only going to be so helpful on such a slow, large target that will give whoever shoots it down a double kill or even a triple kill.
Not worth it. Gunners would last maybe 5 seconds in a Falcon before being killed from the range and aiming helpers with H5’s weapons.
It’s not going to work in Warzone and because of that, it’s not coming. Warzone promises access to the entire Halo 5 sandbox. The Falcon would become apart of that sandbox. But it wouldn’t work because:
- Air vehicles spawn above the home base, completely in the open - Because of this, you’d spawn in the air without the teammates that make the Falcon actually a threat - Players can spawn weapons that take out air vehicles in seconds as soon as level three REQs with Void’s Tear and the grenade launcher - The gunners would suffer the same fate that Warthog gunners suffer due to the BR being overpowered against vehicles. - The Phaeton exists

Refer to point 3 but yes the health of the vehicles needs to go back to being tied to player health, not be their own independent thing. 343i could also just release a buff for all vehicles. The Mantis got one and it’s done a lot better than it did before.
Not really however I did enjoy a troop transport and have the support element as well, where if the two side guns or dropping off men into battle wasn’t good enough there is always ramming them!
It definitely doesn’t need to be added, and it probably wouldn’t even stand a chance in Halo 5’s sandbox; that thing would get taken down in two seconds. Don’t get me wrong, though, I’d love to see it return in a future title.

Would be cool if it had 2x Jorges chain gun attached
I’ll say no. I don’t see the need for a Falcon in Halo 5 as the game already has a bird for the UNSC since WZFF was released and also, I’ve never understood the popularity for the Falcon as that to me looks like a “Flying Triple Kill”.
Sure, for custom games & all, but for matchmaking, I don’t see it having a place unless 343i can find a way to properly balance out the bird without making blatantly it OP or a “Flying Triple Kill”.
And yes, I know some people want it for team-based fun but really, that’s the only one I can understand but that doesn’t convince me why it needs to come back.
The Falcon can fulfill the role of a heavy UNSC gunship in contrast to the Wasp being a light gunship. The addition of energy shielding would be very beneficial given the Falcon’s large size and slow speed.

I’m not as pessimist, but this is pretty much true.
It be nice to have an aerial transport vehicle but not in Halo 5, now maybe the hornet where you can ride on it that’s fine but as much as I want them to add the falcon I think that needs to wait for future installments. As well as driveable pelicans and phantoms.

Hey while it doesn’t need to be added, I’m a huge supporter of the idea.
There should be a variant like the one in the Reach Campaign where you can fly and shoot, though.
