As a Halo vet I can personally say when Halo 3 introduced the Hornet I absolutely lost it, it was incredibly fun- though I will admit, not balanced in the slightest. Halo Reach removed air to ground missiles which was probably a good idea at the time, and the Falcon too was very much fun. I understand balance is perhaps the most important mechanic in a multiplayer experience and it is something which I wish for Halo 5 to maintain and improve upon.
This being said, I would REALLY love to see reintegration of UNSC/Human air vehicles in Halo 5. I don’t feel it would be outlandish to nearly directly transfer the Hornet, Falcon or maybe even Hawk into Warzone or new Big Team Battle maps. I certainly wouldn’t object to a new vehicle either, the Phaeton and Ultra Banshee were a breath of fresh air that air vehicles could become a part of halo yet again, and be powerful at that.

I do prefer the Falcon design over the Hornet, but Props in the 26th Century still, the Hornet was running jets and it looked quite cool. Easy fix would to bring either one in, best way to fix it is maybe bring in the Sparrowhawk and change the rotors in the wings to jets the Hornet uses for that more futuristic look. Yes I just said that for Halo!
no, the phantom is just like the hornet but more balanced (and more fun in my opinion). With the ‘bullets’ being slow infantry have a chance out in the open still, just like they do against the banshee. We only need the phantom, that said if 1 of those two had to be added it should be the falcon purely because its more balanced.

Actually, the Falcon has jet intakes, while the Hornet has ducted fans.
Just another reason that the Falcon is superior. Still the only pilotable tiltrotor I’ve seen in a game.
