Name them.

Coldsnap
Hugeass --> personally flies the best out of all. Has turret and rockets. Similar to the sparrow.
Extinction
Downflow
RPG betas

I dont think pelicans should have rockets to be honest makes them to overpowered expecially on extinction.

But none the less Hugeass pelican does fly the best.. but Coldsnap Pelican is more realistic.

Where as Extinction pelican reminds me of normal Halo 1 without the rockets.

and Downflow pelican you cant see in the dark because it black....

I personally think if people made the speed of pelicans more realistic they would fly better... banshees only fly good when they are set with the default speed... and I think pelicans would fly good if they are set with slower or similar speeds as the banshee.

Hugeass Pelican is flys best and the coldsnap one is hard to get in the back sort of.
And I must ask, Why?
Edited by Dark Neon on Jul 25, 2009 at 02:06 PM

The Hugeass one is the best imo.

napalm :D
it has both pelicans, both fly like hugeass ones

DMT Cairo Station.

Cairo Station pelican flew well because it was all space.. whats to really stop it????

No obsticals in space.. I say a Wraith would fly well in Cairo Station lolololol

Anyone ever see a pelican go in reverse?

Some fly like the banshees and can drift slowly backwards, but no, not full reverse.

I like the Coldsnap ones personally.

ah, but the drivings terrible. thats why i changed it for napalm.

Any pelicans that DON't drop like a brick when you turn?

Coldsnap, if I remember correctly.

You just need to aim up and it should stay more or less on course.

Coldsnap one makes sense. Seems to work good for me. Turning is fine.

Also, Coldsnap pelicans go insane when they collide with something, like falling vehicles twice it's size.

Who's gonna be shooting longswords anyway? Or buildings.

The coldsnap pelican has awful handling. It's damn near impossible to fly it anywhere except in a straight line.

Like I said hugeass pelicans fly the best.
I have all the maps I named and tried every pelican out.

It is really practice IMO i got used to the pelican in coldsnap very quickly, while the only thing i hate about it is the turret in the back>8[, maybe it should have had a door that could be raised shut or dropped down to protect the people it carries and I feel it would look cooler to be inside of it lol, i get in the useless seats in the longsword when I'm in it; It sucks when you jump out to soon and fly into the canyon.

Hugeass pelican

lol what vehicles like longswords and pelicans need is the ability to walk around inside it lolz
like make it ladder or something so you can stick to it that will make it so much more fun.

if it works it just theory.

Coldsnap pelican is over rated it can kill a jet a long sword and a mythos with a decent pilot and a good gunner. . .

Tried making it climbable material long ago.
Does not work.

The coldsnap one is more realistic. The only problem with it is when you hit walls with it...

Not to mention its oh so great flipping

Hugeass one.

What about your old cmt Peli?

yea. thats why... NAPALM!!!

ok, im gunna shut up about napalm now :)

Most pelicans really do fail at flying unless they scripted in a Campaign.....
this is the result of noobs though or even newbies who don't always pay attention and crash into something.

Point being there are very few excellent pelican pilots and very few times in coldsnap, hugeass, or extinction, will you see a good ambush set up with a pelican and a couple other players.

and when you do see it it doesn't always succeed..... what we need is a map that large but at the same time compact so pelican drops are actually pelican drops in multi player matches. for instance maps with no larger room in one spot than. BG and no tighter room than possibly danger canyon tunnel. and make it a large map so their pleanty of room int he sky... this will make using a pelican a lot more tactical in multi player.

*seems I'm ranting Dx*

I'm guessing this has something to do with the Sparrowhawk in CMT SP V2? Masterz probably wants to give it slightly different physics from the Banshee.

Thats what I was thinking. A vtol sparrowhawk would be awesome.

I'm a very good pelican pilot compared to most people, but I usually don't play those kind of maps because they are boring. I'm sure there are others like me.

hugeass pelican always seemed good to me.

The bigest problem I have see with all the pelicans I have played with is the 3 person view point used when flying. You can't see where you are going unless you point the nose down and then you lose altitude.
