The Tuck3r Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Don't know about you guys, but since I started playing matchmaking and getting my hands dirty in forge, I've grown to miss the Falcon. Not just because of the memories of piloting it back in Reach, but more because I feel that it became a core part of multiplayer, particularly BTB. The Falcon provided teamwork, fun and variety from the Banshee. I still enjoy the Banshee but miss getting endless road hogs whilst flying a Falcon. Thoughts on this?

Vaulting♥Frog Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Not really. I would rather have a SkyHawk in the game instead of either the Falcon or Hornet. That was an awesome vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody Initiate Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I didn't care for the Falcon. I think putting two gunners on opposite sides of the vehicle while also limiting their turn radius to prohibit them from ever aiming at the same target just doesn't work. You end up with one gunner and one pilot and that's it. I know real helicopters follow this design, but those are transport helicopters whose only purpose is to move troops (The guns are for covering fire). Halo doesn't play like the real world, and so copying reality too much is lazy and ineffective for any Halo designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose The Ace Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 i do think we need a flying unsc veiucle becase well follow this link and watch the part about halo u will see what i mean then http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=arbiter%20617%20psa&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CDQQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DKCvkXRnvx8Y&ei=rBXoUO76INTI0AW82oHoAw&usg=AFQjCNEms7RQ6wRUxjNHM_XUQ7OQ7sq-Gg&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker of Truth Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I agree, the Falcon encouraged teamwork. But in Halo 4 I do notice that whenever I'm in a Mantis I tend to get a little escort around me. Although, I'm not sure whether they're trying to support me or waiting for me to die/leave the mantis so that they can take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarFallout99 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I want the Falcon. I loved the transport ability plus the turrets. Made for a fun multiplayer battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-38 Boss Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I loved piloting the Falcon, it went along with my usual gaming tendency: If there is a flying vehicle in a game, Im really good with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodfatherS117 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 The Falcon was awesome. This is ridiculous that 343 removed it because this vehicule was used in a lot of machinimas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arctic Vortex Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 No, a teammate could pick you up, you not having jet pack, and drop you into the water, and they jetpack away. You call that teamwork? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a few issues with it that would need to be fixed before I would bother using it. The limited field of view plus a lack of guns for the pilot, and the stuff Bloody Initiate mentioned above for the gunners. It would be nice to have a similar vehicle, it just needs a bit of work.

LiQuid BioniX Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I just don't understand the point of transportation in most random matchmaking games. Rarely do people elect to work as a cohesive team. Usually, it's two people who run around or others who go lone wolf. I see transport serving purpose in games like Battlefield 3, but maps aren't big enough and the gameplay doesn't cater to the slower moving tactical gameplay, rather quick, think-on-your-feet style of tactics that Halo usually offers. I'd like to see a new vehicle make an appearance, one that allows for more weapons capability rather than transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I definetly miss it i remeber playning for hours in forge just messing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I miss it deeply. I loved it more than the Hornet in halo 3. Just stinks that it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a new vehicle make an appearance, one that allows for more weapons capability rather than transport. Exactly, Transport vehicles just don't fit in Halo. They barely get used for transport in BF3 even on its larger scale because people don't like getting into something that is going to be targeted by actual anti-air weaponry AND piloted by a random who might just crash the damn thing or be using it to go somewhere faster (This happens a lot, you're on the door gun all excited to be in the chopper and suddenly the engines cut because your pilot bailed out). I've seen them used to great effect in that game (Pilot circled area while squad mates spawned in chopper and rained down behind enemy lines, was AWESOME), but only on a few occasions. Also it's worth mentioning that IRL air vehicles do not get used nearly as much once we discover an enemy has lock-on anti-air missiles (Which are present in Halo and BF3). As soon as we get intel that an area is covered by that kind of weaponry we severely restrict our air traffic in there. So you see, there's not even a place for the Falcon in the real world, let alone a video game. I'd love to play on a scale big enough for that sort of thing, but generally the things that make it balanced in a game also make it uninviting (Anti-air weapons, because you KNOW when you design a transport aircraft you've also designed combat aircraft, and ground pounders need to defend themselves, it's game balance).

Cpt Picardo Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I miss it and want it back! But instead of two turret guns i want two gauss cannons. Make that three one for the driver also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveillance Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 The falcon was very useful in Invasion. My team would always use it when we had the core, because we knew how to use it effectively. It is kind of a shame that the UNSC doesn't have any air vehicles in Halo 4. I mean come on! The Covenant have some! Bring back the falcon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlexVanguard Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I say bring back the falcon and the hornet. Both were teamwork based vehicles with different uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I remember when I would fly and drop the falcon on people after I jumped out. Man I wish I had a hardrive back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
