Halo 4 really needs a UNSC flying vehicle. I was just wondering if it would be possible for 343i to add one, even though it is after launch.
PS- I am aware of DLC’s
Well, Macfarlane toys made a Hornet. Technically, they arent allowed to make toys that represent characters or vehicles that are not in the game. Unless, things changed on that front. I totally believe that they can add whatever. That disc 2 is a huge download and it cant all be spops. So yeah, I think they can add more.
Here is die cast Hornet:

The detail:
Microsoft’s best-selling Halo video game series continues this autumn with Halo 4, and the characters and vehicles of the new game are brought to life with a new line-up of die-cast replicas! Each highly-detailed die-cast vehicle comes with a 2" plastic figure. Choose from the Hornet, Banshee, Ghost, Mongoose, or Warthog. Window box packaging.
It would be really cool if they added the hornet back into Halo 4, but why would they not do this in the first place? I just really miss them awesome air battles of the hornet v banshee…

Read the detail of the Hornet. there is a clue there
Yeah they will probably add the Hornet then. Why else would it put the hornet in with all the other vehicles from Halo 4?

I know right!
Is a UNSC air vehicle NEEDED? If you think about it, all the vehicles in Halo 4 sort of fit into their own niches.
im not talking about just in multiplayer, but also in forge. If they are going to remake forge world, which I’m hopping they do, then absolutely a UNSC air vehicle is needed. I think it is needed right now with the maps we already have.
The last thing this game needs is more vehicles, Its a FPS, not a flight sim.

Vehicles are one of the things that makes Halo, Halo

Amen.

each vehicle kinda needs a counterpart also
it equals things out
an the banshee is the only vehicle without a counterpart in H4
definitely needs a UNSC flying vehicle, i mean i would love a pelican (unarmed) can carry 7 (including pilot) 1 pilot 6 passengers … i mean they made a flyable pelican in campaign? couldn’t they add a cargo area and remove weapons, with its laser and cannon + machine guns it would be way to OP … im guessing your thinking why would anyone want to go in an unarmed flying vehicle … you would die in seconds… well think about objective games … i spose CTF would be crap vsing a pelican (land get out pick up fly off really fast) … yes okay, but maybe something different, maybe have one mounted turret on the back ramp (like in h2 when johnson is on the back ripping into -Yoinks!-) … but it would definitely be a good addition just for tactical and objective games …
Air racing map? hell yes … making cinematics … i mean how long have we waited (well atleast me) for a flyable pelican … i remember modding H1 on PC for the pelican and the drop pod … but it would be great for those who could use it to their advantage … making movies with the pelican would be sweet … transporting teamates to and from objectives = sweet … attacking a covenant stronghold with a pelican carrying your whole team = awesome!

We need more people per game and bigger maps. I could see a pelican fitting in Impact only. Key word is “a”. For balanced games, you need two, and two pelicans on Impact would take up one of the two asteroids.
We would need battlefield sized maps for pelicans and phantoms.
Yes, More vehicles = yes.
Maps for Flight=Yes
Maps for Vehicles=Yes
Big Maps=Yes
Small Maps=Only for falcon + banshe, and small vehicles…
Maps that are set only for flight=NO
BIG Maps= Must be at least 16 players or if forged, would need us to set a boundary or it’d get ridiculous on 6 vs 6 teams…
Meaning if you build the map for Flight, its going to be big enough for forge world anyhow, so you could make those flight maps also become big forge maps…For BTB, CTF, and for forgers who want big maps.
Money on Big Maps=50,000 plus more stuff…
But if this were all to happen, they’d probably have to issue an new install disc, which is fine, as long as it didn’t cost another game…
> an the banshee is <mark>the only vehicle without a counterpart in H4</mark>
what about the mantis? and mongoose?
Whoever said the banshee doesn’t have a counterpart is wrong. The UNSC had the Wasp. Appetantly pieces of coding still exist for it in the multiplayer maps, but was cut I presume. Why have two different vehicles when they perform the same? No need if you can place another banshee instead.
Sure, WH30k Space Marine added a -Yoinking!- Dreadnaught to their lower-budget game with relative ease. The question is whether or not 343 will bother.
