The Pelican

Is is flyable in Multiplayer?

That is all.

Thanks!!!

The pelican can fly, if it couldn’t, then it wouldn’t be very useful.

Don’t think so. Definitely not in MP because I don’t think it would fit properly.

^ u kidding? Halo has been begging for a decent aerial troop transport for a while now in the MP.

Sure about that? Cause I think it would. Just sayin.

I see what you did there. :smiley:

Imagine flying above Forge World or something around the same size… You would feel way too big in that Beast!! If we had maps the size of Battlefield 3 maps, then I could see it working.

It would be awesome to be able to decide where to drop your team and equiptment.

lol, I think an aerial transport would be useful. I think a transport falcon would work better. I wouldn’t be against seeing it in custom games and forge mode though.

What if it could hop?

We don’t know yet. Most likely not.

I wouldn’t count on it at all…

We´ll see Pelicans when the Xbawx Hardware and networking can support a vehicle of that size and map size + players to make it viable.

Perhaps somewhere along with Halo 7-10.

“most likely not”

Why do you say this.

I would have said that about a lot of things that have been confirmed. :slight_smile:

You’re breaking my heart man, breaking it. :confused:

I had to remove my own in order to write that. :C

I read in a post that the theres a smaller variant of the Pelican (a gunship) and it MAY be flyable.

Because look at everything we’ve been given, look at the amount of content 343i and has given us and what they’ve achieved. I doubt they’d get a fully working Pelican into the game.

I say this because of the maps; What maps would it be necessary on? We’d need another map as big as Forge World, which we do not have, if there were to be a Pelican in Halo 4’s custom games, forge and multiplayer.

But there’s a good chance they’ll be in campaign and/or spartan ops.

Exactly. We’re talking about a vehicle that is twice the size of the scorpion flying through the air. It just doesn’t fit in the current Halo multiplayer sandbox. Not just it’s size but it’s usefulness. It has 10 seats in the back and currently we only have 8 people a team in BTB, it just wouldn’t make sense.
Make BTB be actually a big team battle then it could work but as of now I can’t see it. Not saying I wouldn’t want it, just being realistic.
