Whether it sticks or not, that whirring sound gives me just enough time to realize that I'll never get away in time. I have to admit I was kind of excited when hearing Sage talk about the damage increase for the grenades, but that went away pretty damned fast in the beta. Slow speed and uber-powerful grenades is incredibly not fun.
Yeah, I'd like to see the Falcon return as long as it has an extra seat to ride in for flag and bomb carriers. I love the Falcon; best vehicle in Reach.
I'm currently setting it up for all the shitty gametypes that Reach has to offer. I'll porbably upload it after I have had some more tests on it.
WHOA DUDE
It was touted by Bungie as the "Warthog of the sky". How the hell can you call it that when you can't even replicate what the Warthog is capable of? Besides, having a transport vehicle that is selective in who/what it transports is incredibly stupid.
lol. I'm going to buy you many Chicken McNuggets the next time we see each other.
Warthog also has a gigantic fucking gun on the back of it, and it's able to carry anyone holding anything at a high rate of speed. Falcon is slow by design, and having a bomb/flag carrying passenger would take the place of the second gunner seat. It's not that difficult of a concept; it's another shame that Bungie couldn't implement it for whatever reason.
How did God hide this from me?
Absolutely this. It's the only good antivehicle weapon the series has seen since Halo 3 broke everything by introducing that shitty laser, outside of maybe the missile pod where the tracking and speed of the projectiles didn't really match up that well.
I'm frankly not convinced that multiperson aerial vehicles can work in a traditional Halo game. For a passenger seat to be able to hold objective carriers, those seats have to be super exposed so you can actually get a shot on them - the current Falcon with the flag guy in the center seat would be awful and you'd never be able to get him out of there if the Falcon didn't turn sideways. I didn't really like the Halo 3 multiplayer Hornet either - you'd spawn in the middle of nowhere on Avalanche, get peppered for a full ten seconds, and whether you died or not neither player had a good time in that engagement. Then if you didn't have antiair weapons and they got the flag on there, you had a five second window to BR the carrier before the wonder twins of spread and netcode decided you weren't going to be able to get him.The Falcon would need a complete overhaul to be a good addition to the vehicle sandbox. As it stands now a few DMRs/Sniper can knock it out of the sky in a few seconds. It needs to be able to transport a flag carrier, and the turret from campaign should be on it, just nerfed damage like the Hornet. I liked the Hornet a lot better actually, bring that one back.
I brought you a Grunt plushie. But hey... who said no? And hey, sorry that there was a luggage limit.
Two players with DMR's can blow up a Falcon.
And I argue that in a BTB game, a Falcon with the carry ability is just another option. It's hardly an invincible force in the air, and you speak as if there would only be one Falcon and no other vehicles or weapons that could counter it. Factor in ground forces with a moderate amount of communication, power weapons on any given BTB map, and I still don't see what the problem is having it be what Bungie claimed it was supposed to be.
