I have noticed (espicially after playing Coldsnap) that the HPelican is VERY useful for support.

You can kill anything on its rear with the machine gun, and also carry vehicles and troops to get the flag.

I had 3 people in mine, 2 dropped, and 1 stayed as gunner, but the game ended (the drop was to get the flag). One to protect and one to aquire, after I got shot down (had a hard time gaining altitude) I had been killed by a Mythose, and the other 3 lasted about 5 minutes out there, killing the mythose.

Its a good vehicle to use.....But why doesn't anyone (many) show teamwork or planning?
I went around the map dropping hogs off to players who needed them, also hot zone drops and pickups.

Why doesnt anyone use the HPelican or teamwork anymore?

Because most of the people either play the game or it's hard to drive.

Since Im in the CE clan we either reside to warthogs (Gauss) and snipers so we are usually hidden. The Pelican is an easy shot. It has higher shields than a LongSword BUT, its arsenal is low. Personally I have never experienced the Turret but once. It took a while. The pelican has large window so one sniper shot through glass is pure pwn't and its slow, I can take a mythos down in about 25 Gauss shots so the pelican is about 15... I personally started playing custom to pilot the pelican but Tiamat dumbed it down in arsenal but gained it in tactic. And most people dont resite to tactics. I see a jet in the air aim before it boom I get a kill thats how simple I usually am...

Actually, almost all Halo CE played don't believe in teamwork. Either that, or they believe in it, but don't actually show it. Or there is no one in the server who will cooperate with them.

Which is why I play single player.

Agreed. I would be cool if some of the guys could actually show some cooperation...

*Imagines two Longswords, two Pelicans, and Two Jets heading towards Red Base on Extinction and scare the daylights out of the enemy team like in the beginning of Halo 3's 'The Covenant' level*

I always wanted epic teamwork in servers...

Cold Snap kinda needs teamwork, because of its lack of single person vehicles (it has jets, I know), and the map is excellent for air flight, having so many aircraft. The pelican is a 3 person thing, "a pilot, gunner, and passenger as backup pilot". And I have never been shot down by a sniper, or a gauss, only jets, and I can pilot really good too. I am putting up a Halo CE 1.00 server called "Team Work", map: "Cold Snap".

Come join.

(you can play on 1.00 servers on 1.08, just read up on Halo Maps on how to do it)

I just drive around in a warthog until I die :P

I like advancebo's tactic, it works wonders in team slayer

Not in CTF it doesn't.
