Forge Island's Sky Box

Games Other Halo
1

Forge Island could be used for a lot of things, and provides opportunities for much more creative maps; but the sky box is something else.

Forge Island’s sky box is massive, but there’s a potential problem. There’s only one flying vehicle available in the multiplayer. One would simply look passed that and accept it, but as a machinima director it cripples me in a way.

The sky box is huge like I said, and it would be great to have some sky battle of some sort. Why would 343 only add the banshee to the multiplayer? They’ve made it blatantly obvious that the pelican is in the game, and that it is flyable, so why not put it on Forge Island? It’s plenty big enough. Having only the banshee to work with is not only boring, but also very annoying. Will we see UNSC air vehicles in Halo 5? It’s a question worth thinking about.

Oh, and 343 added a green screen too. That’s nice.

Discuss.

The reason the Pelican isn’t in multiplayer is because it has no animation for blowing up, you simple fall out of it when you die and the Pelican just drops.

That may not mean much to you as you can just keep it offscreen, but in terms of quality, they aren’t going to put in on a map.

Any reason why it doesn’t have a blowing up animation?

Because its the vehicle only made for one level in campaign?

And Pelican would be so overpowered in matchmaking, oh and maps are small for pelicans.

Speaking of the pelican… Why was it not featured in spartan ops? They took the time to make it for one campaign sequence.

The Pelican Does Have A Blowing Up Animation As I Have Seen It Myself. In the Campaign Map The Problem Is That It Has To Hit The Ground Before IT Actually Blows Up. If you do some of the pelican flying glitches on spartan ops such as the one on vortex or apex if you get damaged whilst in the pelican the damage phases go like this, dents and battle damage is added to the pelican, front wings become on-fire, back engines become on-fire, pelican body becomes on-fire whilst pieces have fell of the body and red emergency lights start flashing and a danger noise might start taking places (sometimes it has sometimes it hasn’t), pelican Interior blows up (you die) and pelican then hits ground and blows up completely. Hoped This Helped A Lot Guys But The Real Reason It Is Not In Multiplayer Is That Its Too Big And Too Over-Powered. It Could Be Added To Forge Maps And Ragnarok And Maybe The Castle Map Pack Maps, But If They Were Going To Add A Pelican It Would Be On Forge Maps ONLY As They Are The Biggest Maps To Be Placed On. Enjoy Guys

Wow, You Really Like Capital Letters.

Should I be looking for an acronym in there, or…?

1st: Its possible
2nd: Op, bleh, you wouldn’t know what overowered was until it literally punched, kicked,smacked, & kissed you in the ace all at once, & even if its overpowered, it can be tuned, don’t forget that peeps. Besides, if we can’t have falcon, then a pelican shrunk, sides tore off with turrets on each side, & thrusters sped up, flight mechanics the same, damage resistance of a mongoose, nah, let remake it weaker, do damage resistance of the banshee as it’ll still be bigger then the banshee, smaller than campaign, an call it good, shall we.

Legitly, it should be this.

Size: Like I said above
Damage Resistance: 200% Banshee is about 90%, and mantis is 150%, go figure.
Weapon Damage: 125%
Rate of fire: #1 weapon. Fast but weak
#2 weapon like banshee’s, but different color and bullet.

Placement, all co-existing forge-maps in game.

Done, fixed it, you can thank me now if you like, stop complaining everyone, you seriously think just by adding a vehicle insanely op to forge would be allowed on matchmaking, only one way, called Dog Fights people, open your mind, nothing else. It’d be fun for dog fights & make recreation of midnight from campign.

It’s also in other missions in campaign, and Spartan Ops. Have you not played on Forge Island? It could easily support several Pelicans or Phantoms.
