Hey guys! In the last day Josh has been responding to a particular thread answering questions from the community. Last night he did a mass response and two things he answered caught my eye:
> 2. Have all the vehicles shown in Warzone / REQ Cards been all there is, or is there more vehicles planned to be in but you’ve only shown off a few in certain builds?
> We’ve shown all of the base vehicles that are in the game for launch, but I don’t think we’ve shown all of the variants available through the REQ system.
>
> 3. The reason I ask of the vehicles is because if so, it’s weird that the UNSC doesn’t have an aerial vehicle counterpart to either the Phaeton or Banshee.
> There won’t be a UNSC counterpart to the Phaeton or Banshee at launch.
This is big news for people who have been asking for UNSC air vehicles be added into the game. It is sad that we don’t get them at launch, but this opens up a whole new world. If I had to guess we could probably see human aircraft added to multiplayer when Forge drops in December. It makes the most sense to me anyway. The capability to add them is definitely there and I’m excited for this news, especially for the people who have been asking for UNSC vehicles for a long time now.

Falcon for sure added to Warzone. It could have the regular variant seen in Reach with the turrets, and then have a REQ version with the grenade launchers seen in the campaign.
I liked the MCC’s version of the Hornet, probably add that to BTB. REQ version could be the Hawk variant seen in Halo Wars.

Can a developer or someone else with development knowledge confirm that “the capacity is definitely there”? Because I highly doubt, JUST because he said “not at launch” that we will get a UNSC aerial vehicle. Everyone’s like “UNSC AIR VEHICLE 110% KONFIRMED GUYEEZ, SO MLG!!” Don’t get me wrong I want to be optimistic too but this level of optimism is simply unrealistic compared to what we expected before hearing what 343i delayed and cut.

If we weren’t getting one at all they would say no, wouldn’t you think?

The halo MCC’s version of the hornet was toned down A LOT from the halo 3 xbox original.

You would, before you know that they will do everything in their power to sell the game. That is a fact and we have seen them sugar coating and snuffing big issues out before, like splitscreen and forge initially. Saying that it isn’t in the game at launch is the same thing as and is received better than it won’t be in the game at all. Without hard core confirmation we do not know anything.

I would personally go with the Falcon gameplay wise, because the Pheaton is a Promethean Hornet, and adding the Hornet into the game would be redundant IMO.
Falcon would get rekt either way. Phaeton is too strong for it. Banshee has heat seeking plasma bombs now and a little shielding. It’s time we get something different in Halo 5, that is fast and has its own maneuvers.
I don’t want a hovering Warthog in the air anymore, or simply a floating Mantis with the top half cut off.
