Okay so, as soon as I played Halo 5: Campaign and some hours in Multiplayer Arena and Warzone, I realized that there weren’t any UNSC air vehicles. And I know a lot of us love the falcon from Reach because it was pretty bad -Yoink- and it’s my favorite Air vehicle. But for Halo 5, 343 needs to bring back the Hornet.
Reasons for this:
-
Hornets fit well with Halo 5 mechanics. They have more maneuverability than a falcon. Falcon only works if you got 2 guys. By the time you spawn a falcon in Warzone, might be difficult to get some guys. Well, more difficult than a hornet.
-
Hornets can shoot rounds and missiles. Just like a Banshee and Phaeton. So obviously I can definitely see it happening
-
I can see Hornet, Corp Hornet, Tundra, Hornet, Oni Hornet (bruh, get REQ’d). They are fun to use and are self manageable. Picture it guys, opening a req back for a Rare Hornet or getting that bomb legendary black steel Oni Hornet with a pair of Sunglasses for your spartan.
I mean I love the falcon but the Hornet seems to be the best fit for Halo 5. Besides, having some buddies hop on with infinite grenades perk would be hilarious. Haha. Well, that’s just my opinion and analysis! I’d like to hear your guy’s thoughts on this or of anything you’d like to change! 
Yah that be awesome. I just realized that the phaeton basically is a hornet but with dash. But yah I would still want the hornet/ falcon/ pelican.
Hawk would fit better IMO. works like a phaeton minus the telporting and has powerful guns. (30 mm autocannon and what is essentially an upgraded spartan laser) Plus it’s new (in the sense that we haven’t been able to fly it ourself)

also we need a mythic vehicle
Both Hornet and Falcon would be cool. I recall playing the campaign in Reach and it said the Falcon was a “Quick moving SPARTAN transport” or something to that effect. It’d make sense for the Infinity’s war games simulator to have it, what with it being the new home of the Spartans and all.
That is a great idea. It is trully weird that UNSC only does not have air support. Keep the fingers crossed.
The AC-220 Gunship (aka the Vulture). Make it happen 343.
Naw Falcons rule fam. I don’t hate the Hornets but the Falcons are better because it fits the theme of UNSC machines have to usually use teamwork to be effective. And yes I know the Scorpion and now Gungoose don’t fit the theme but still, teamwork is key
I’d love any UNSC air vehicle we can get. I’d also love for a flight based halo game or gametype similar Reach’s space level.
Imagine how epic it would be to see a Banshee, a Phaeton and a Hornet/Falcon all duking it out in the air at once?
What ever they decide to add, it needs to be added pronto. I don’t really understand why they wouldn’t have made it for launch. Then again, I don’t understand why they released Halo 5 the way it is at all either… this game needed to be delayed like another 6 months.
There was something in one of the canon fodder updates a while back, Grim answered someone’s question on this and said they might be coming I believe.
if im recalling the same thing as you they said there will be unsc air vehicles in the future, not necessarily in halo 5.
They really need to add a UNSC air vehicle. I really can’t figure out why 343 don’t have them in multiplayer especially when in Halo 4 you had multiple UNSC air vehical missions
It would be awesome to just have an airship spin off like star wars did with rogue squadron where you play a marine pilot but I dont see it happening with the poor reception ODST got even though i loved that game.

Poor reception? You must be nuts, ODST sold exceptionally well for what was considered a spin-off, with an aver of 8 or 9 out of 10 on scores. Sure it didn’t have its own multi but the campaign was generally praised for both story and gameplay, and firefight was always one of the best additions to the series!
I’d like the Falcon AND the hornet. The hawk would be cool too.
I don’t think any Halo’s ever added in a brand new vehicle as DLC. Seems like it’d be too much of a hassle to rebalance the entire set of base weapons and vehicles around the inclusion of a brand new vehicle, and an aerial one at that.

what if we had a warthog called Johnson’s warthog that was mythic and it was faster with better armor, similar to what they’ve done with the oni variants except something else special.
