Anyone else notice that there is no hornet in halo 4? For that matter there is not a falcon either and I have no idea why they did this but I guess the mantis was supposed to compensate but I still would have liked the hornet to be in halo 4. To be honest this bothers me more than anything else as far as what they took out. I think they should at least add the pelican to forge and nothing else because that already in the game you just have to move it to forge as well. While the hornet would need new art and everything but i still hope they add the hornet but I think they should at least add the Pelican to forge. No idea if anyone else thinks this is a good idea.
I do hope they add a human aerial vehicle at some point, but I’m afraid the pelican would be a little to massive. Plus, the way it’s weapons work in campaign make it basically only useful against other flying vehicles.
Well if it were to be in forge only and i might add actual maps meant for forge only. Then it wouldnt really matter how big it is or the effectiveness or it being overpowered. idk it was just a thought though cause it would be awesome if they added it though i would still prefer the hornet but that just seemed like the easiest option. Though they should and might add the hornet or some human air vehicle in one of the map packs like what happened in halo 3 with the new transport hornet in avalanche.
Pelican is a no go imo, not enough maximum players to really make it a good vehicle. They’d need (and I WISH they could) a larger max player number. I want some 12v12, or 16v16! That would make the Pelican more useful.
I really don’t know why they took out the UNSC flyers…the one in Reach Ok, I get that. You need a passenger to do any real damage? The one from H3 was fine imo, but the damage could probably be upped from that.
I don’t think any of the maps are big enough for the human air vehicles… even the ones with Banshees are a little too cramped for that, and the human ones are so slow they’d get shot out of the sky right away.
Not to say I don’t think they couldn’t create maps where these vehicles would work. The pelican would be awesome on a “Conquest” style game type as a reward for holding one of the flags… like the AC130 on BF3. I always said Halo was ripe for this kinda gametype.
Well I wouldnt use it for pvp well i could but half of each team would be in 2 pelicans. I mean it would be more useful for creative purposes like flood escape or destroy the mantis army. Things like that and more if people make more stuff and of course if the file share system goes up.
What a Spartan Ops chapter that has 3 hornets or falcons escorting the fourth player in the pelican? Might help spice up SPOPS a little.
The hornet would be fine for any map in halo 4 and its pretty dam fast so speed wouldnt be a problem either but the falcon is another story. But even with problems in wargames those dont matter if they dont want to put it in there to begin with cause they could just put it in forge if thats the case. pelican thing would be fun though 
That would be amazing

Yeah they need to do somthing like that.
Yeah this aspect of the game really makes me mad, like what did the UNSC just happen to lose all of their gunships? Like the mantis is great, but it aint got -Yoink!- on the banshee when it comes to maneuvering and speed.

Maybe the maker of the hornet spontaneously went under. Into a fire pit btw there is no flamethrower
The Hornet and Falcon were both meh. Would’ve been nice if 343 added a new aircraft to compensate, but I can see why neither UNSC air vehicle has returned.
run on sentences. next thread.

I have to agree. The hornet was kind of fun in campaign but it never fit into multiplayer well. Halo still hasn’t has a UNSC air vehicle that really feels right in campaign and multiplayer.

What are u talkin about the hornet was awesome and they were going to keep it in halo 4 but randomly got rid of it in development and it was mainly useful for killin well everything. and they just took it out like it never existed and i never liked the falcon as much as the hornet so i dont care about that. Well at least not as much.
They could put in the Hawk from halo wars wich shoots white lasers like rockets kinda.

What makes you think the hornet was ever going to be in Halo 4? We saw what looked like Falcons in the distance of one prerelease screenshot but that’s it.
The Revenant is also missing.
