Honest question about the Hornet/Falcon

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

I’m about to ask something that some people here might find heresy but I am trying really hard to not stir the pot here.

We have 2 different versions of the Phaeton that are really interesting and powerful. Why, from a gameplay standpoint, does anyone even care about having the Hornet or Falcon in this game? I get that there’s a level of nostalgia at play here that is hard to ignore and it would also be cool to see a Human flying vehicle but I don’t get why people think this is such a required thing. People are extremely passionate about these vehicles being added into the game.

What is so special about these vehicles that they should be brought back immediately?

As I think it would be cool to have a hornet or falcon I don’t “have to have it” I’m cute satisfied the way it is. The banshee ultra is amazing and I don’t need anything else. On top of that you have the two phaton variants.

But I get why people want it and I really wouldn’t mind if it was implemented.
But I think I would rather have a whole new unsc air vehicle instead of the hornet or falcon. I think the creators can do much better.

Reasons

  • Promote teamwork - Machinima - Customs - Play style - Nostalgia - Low amount of vehiclesI understand why people want a UNSC air vehicle what I don’t understand is why they think it is a good idea to have it in 5.

  • Maps were not designed for UNSC air vehicles - UNSC Air vehicles are slower and have no dodging ability’s so REQs will destroy them easily - UNSC vehicles would constantly be hitting the maps sky hitbox - 343 would have to make a new UNSC Air vehicle that would be rejected by the fans because it is not a Hornet or Falcon343 should design the Halo 6 maps so that they can have UNSC air vehicles rather than add one in 5 for it to under perform and cause unnecessary backlash.

nostalgia
the hornet and falcon were awesome people loved em
teamwork
an army without airsupport? really.

as far as how they fit in the sandbox
the falcon was the fastes vehicle in reach (look it up)
it could drop from the sky to evade rockets and splasers
if it has the chingun and is fully mounted inwould be as OP as a pheaton if piloted right.
it could have an flare or ECM ability.

it i very mobile, being able to turn at high speeds on is axis

it was the terror of the skies in reach.

as for the hornet, i havent played with it. i didnt really like h3

5

Machinimas for me.

Getting really tired of having to use banshees for unsc troops.
