So you know how each map has its own unique items… well what if vehicles followed the same rule. Imagine if IMPACT the new forge map featured peaceable sabers and gunship/transport pelicans. If that happened along with all the other awesome additions (dominion mode,auto turrets,player trait zones, gravity volumes etc), we would literally be able to recreate some StarWars Battle Front 2 space combat in halo… i repeat IN HALO!
Please 343i come though on this. Theres a functional model of both vehicles in reach, how hard could they be to implement? The game is gold, i get that, im just hoping its included it would make this game over the top better for me… Moa you may just be right… whats the community’s thoughts?
But an important thing to note is that the console version of battlefront even allowed many more players. 12v12 games, and bots to fill those spots when the game wasn’t full.
I’m not sure you can have something decent like that with only 16 players.

Well with the additions of domion mode, and auto turrets. Hopefully you can place auto turrets to fulfill the role of the AI bots. A simple btb map with 1 sabre for each team could even work and it be worth the inclusion of the sabre in forge. There are many talented forgers that could make an INSPIRED gametype work. It obviously wont be on such a large scale.

Which is why I’d prefer to remake the infantry battle maps over the space battle maps. However, the idea of space Banshee wars has me interested considering how fun it was in Reach with a forged Dogfight map.
Mr dear friends I do believe great things are to come. 343 has delivered the flood for infection. The Mammoth will replace the Elephant. Forge has major upgrades to help true forgers, and us forge tards. Armour sets are in excess. I am confident that there will be more fan driven content.
I think Pelicans and Sabres are far-flung hopes. But I’m really hoping Hornets make a return over the Falcon. They would fulfil the role of aerial transport, and hopefully will prove to be excellent in harassing banshees.
As for turrets, as has been mentioned- it would be great to see some bot turrets available for free use in forge too! Along with the return of Shade turrets. I’m hoping they even throw in Gauss turrets as were seen in ODST- to really give the feeling of heavy duty ship guns.
i dont realy want to fly it but as a decrative DEFINATLY, the amount of cool maps people could make with this is ENDLESS, WHEN WILL 343 REALISE THIS?!?!?! bungie didnt!!

As does the realist in me. I think bungie was afraid to try it in MM, or they did it on purpose and are waiting to use that mechanic for there sifi fps mmo “Destiny”.
Either way, introducing the sabre (Wich mind you was a fully functional vehicle in campaign and was actually being used as a multiplayer vehicle in bungie internal testing for its inclusion in MM. BF3, SWBF2 are two MM Games that come to mind that pull the mechanic off nicely. Air Vehicles are already in play, tho they have only hap one choice in there “class”
Where as land had many (mongoose,warthog-[Gauss,Rocket,Chain] Mech,
and Tank)
Air vehicles should be approached in a similar manner. (Light Booster Frame,Sparrowhawk,falcon,hornet, sabre, and pelican both transport and Gunner )
