Skip to 6:36. How do you like the look?
Personally I love the direction they’re taking… seems really sci-fi and fits the feel of the game. I’m completely open to changes like this, I loved the trilogy but its good to get a fresh perspective, instead of the same basic concept with better graphics. It almost looks like the Halo take on the Republic Gunship from star wars.
*Notice the double cockpit

Who says thats a Pelican? Who says that’s not a new variant of ariel vehicles for the UNSC?
Be it Pelican or not though, It looks fine to me from that perspective. Hopefully we’ll see some actual in-game pics that have the right textures soon.
Still looks like a Pelican to me. And that’s more than I can say about the Grunts…
> Who says thats a Pelican? Who says that’s not a new variant of ariel vehicles for the UNSC?
I didn’t think about that but yeah I guess that could be the case. I assumed it to be the Pelican I can’t think of a reason 343 would introduce a new vehicle that seems to serve the same purpose… and look almost exactly the same.
This may be better than having people scrub a video.
The front of it reminds me a bit of the Russian Mi-24 with how curved and “bubbly” it looks, and makes me a bit sad if that’s the case. But I’ll reserve my final opinion when a more finished version is revealed.

Idk I’m just looking for confirmation for that kinda stuff, but it looks fine to me.

Thanks for the link and yeah it does. Im all open to that. Imagining olive drab paint with the golden cockpits of the falcons from Reach campaign. -Yoink!-.
Looks like… A pelican.
Doesn’t look any different to me.
can’t really pass a judgement on that image but it looks pretty much the same. though, it’s likely unfinished and the final version may appear quite different than that image.

Lets just hope we can fly it 
Oh my… I can’t believe they changed the Pelican as well. They’ve given it bigger wings (because it really needs wings right?) and the double bubble canopy off a Hind helicopter.
Hopefully that was just concept work… but that is just terrible.
