I personally think that halo 5 needs one of these vehicles. As a halo skit maker I love the new machinima settings but that won’t cut it. How do you expect people to bring your game attention If they have to build a fake plan? I am requesting one of these vehicles considering the fact that A LORi people have already asked for it. Please 343 bring back amazing gameplay and videos with one hopefully both of these vehicles.
Hawk. Don’t forget about the Hawk.
IMO the falcon was more interesting that the hornet gameplay wise, but you couldn’t use it to deliver a flag. Throw in a passenger seat and it would work well.

I agree. The hornet and the phaeton are too similar for me to want them both anyway. The falcon fits a niche that no other air vehicle fits so far, transport and teamwork. Also, i know the falcon had no front turret in multiplayer during reach but that should change for halo 5. While the team aspect of it i great, its gonna be hard to find people to just jump into your falcon mid game unless your playing with friends. Therefore, the falcon should be able to fight somewhat one its own (though it’ll be much more powerful when it is fully occupied obviously).
A UNSC air vehicle would be nice, but we have to think about how it can work in the game. Challenge is that players would the air vehicle to carry multiple troops. How can you make sure that you can safely pick up the people. Are the maps big enough for them.
I would prefer to get the Hornet but I’m okay with either.
If not both, Falcon. While I love the Hornet, the Phaeton definitely makes it feel obsolete (although the Phaeton can only hold one player, despite this, the Falcon is more unique). At least we know we definitely are getting a UNSC vehicle eventually, which makes me happy.
It seems like they’re going to put in a brand new UNSC air vehicle in multiplayer. I don’t have a source, unfortunately, but I heard that 343 stated they were planning on it. We also have the Foehammer armor’s description to give us further clues: FOEHAMMER-class Mjolnir armor is a forward-looking design being evaluated for use with cutting-edge Project: SLEIPNIR combat dropships tailored specifically for use by Spartans.
So, after there will be a reach update I would say we´ll get a falcon
I honestly don’t see them putting the Falcon in, simply based on canonical reasons. The Falcon was one of those cheap-transport options the UNSC Army exclusively used, like most of the game-exclusive tech we encountered in Halo: Reach. If they’re bringing in one of the two, it would be the Hornet. But again, I don’t think they’ll be bringing in either of them. The Hornet is too similar to the Phaeton. I’m putting my money on this “Project: SLEIPNIR combat dropship for Spartans”. If it fills any gameplay niche, however, it would be more similar to the Falcon.
I prefer the Falcon but the Hornet is more canon.
Yeah, with he Memories of Reach update thing, I reckon the Falcon will be one of the things returning. I do believe 343 said something about UNSC Flying vehicles returning to multiplayer at some point, however they did not specify Halo 5
