As many of you know, Halo 4 is lacking in one quite important area: A UNSC flying vehicle. However, there is already one in the Campaign, with a full damage model and is fully functional,that being the Pelican drop ship. It seems like a massive waste of such a majestic vehicle to be confined to a very small Campaign section where it could have incredible usages in custom maps. So please, anyone who agrees with me, show your support and hopefully 343 will take notice. Besides, how hard can it be to enter a few lines of code to allow usage of this fully functional beast in multiplayer?
I completely agree! Since Halo 2, I’ve wanted to be able to use the Pelican in Big Team Battle. Sure, being able to carry your whole team in one vehicle could be overpowered, but it would also offer a huge multikill to anyone with the laser/rockets.
Please put the Pelican into forge 
And there goes balance…
Sure, the Pelican in Multiplayer would be blatantly overpowered, but why not just for forge games? There is absolutely no harm in having it in the game just for Forge mode at all.
I want a map with a boat.
I WANT A BOAT. PLEASE. COME ON. THIS ISN’T HARD. BOAT. I WANT TO PLAY FLOOD WITH THE ZAHMBIEZ JUMPIN UP OUT THE WATER AT A BIG BOAT. IT WOULD BE GREAT.
PLEASE. JUST A LITTLE BOAT. WITH A HORN.
Exactly… balance isn’t such a big deal for custom games. Sometimes we just want the option to do crazy stuff to make new customs. It’s not like it would go into MM or anything.
Reach had Pelican in Forge mode didnt he? Anyways Halo’s4 Pelican is like x5 times stronger than Reachs Pelican.

To the contrary, the Pelican driven in campaign is actually a smaller model outfitted with weapons. It wasn’t a normal, large Pelican that’s normally seen. In fact, there was no crew compartment. Only a cockpit and two turrets on the side for riders. It was indeed weaker than a normal Pelican. It basically had the exact same functionality as the Falcon from Reach. I believe adding this smaller Pelican to multiplayer is a very real and viable option and I think 343 should consider it.

Reach didn’t have a Pelican. And anyways, the damage tables for Halo 4’s Pelican can always be modified if It’s too overpowered.
Reach had the Falcon, which I miss as well 
It would also be neat if the Pelican could carry a vehicle (Warthog/Scorpion) in forge like it has been able to in past Halo campaigns!
343 can’t be bothered to make a proper Forge World with various environments so I wouldn’t expect Pelicans to be added any time soon. Might make an appearance as DLC, since that’d net them more money.
Well, Impact is pretty big, so I think that could work.
ehh, make a game mode 20v20, pelicans ftw.
Im with you. I have always wanted to fly a pelican since the first halo. Every time they make a new halo hame I have been waiting for them to add them to multiplayer.
It would be especially fun to drop a warthog or suplypods in the middle of a battle to support your team.
If we were to get the Pelican, then how about the Covenant Lich as well.
Heck, I really want to be able to put a Mammoth on the map, even if it’s just as a static base piece and not drivable.
We had the Elephant from Halo 3 on one multiplayer map and that was drivable.
Scarabs anyone?
There are so many opportunities to have vehicles on maps, even if just in forge.
Making vids with cool stuff like this is just one of the great things that could benefit from having the big vehicles on maps.
I would like the Pelican as a Forge aesthetic piece not an actual flying vehicle. I would like to have the Falcon come back though.
343i don’t care about Forge and Custom Games. That’s why they made it so terrible and are not doing a single thing to help save them.
ignore the one trying to incite a flame war, please.
And i could totally see a pelican in forge. it could only fit 4 people in the campaign, so an overkill AT MOST if someone splazord you. it was basically a campaign falcon from reach with an AA gun stuck on the roof and respawning powerweapons on the side.
I would love to see the pelican make an appearance in forge…But I think we would need a larger forge environment for that…
That thing is way too fast and too big. What’s the point of this vehicle if you reach the end of the map in like 1 second? I mean, not even the forge maps are big enough.
It’s pointless in forge and would be pointless in MP as well. The game needs a redesigned Hornet or Falcon. A air vehicle which fits the actual design of the maps.
