Consider these quotes from this bungie story:

quote

“I engaged an enemy chopper at a range of x meters. The target immediately erupted into flames. Both vehicle and rider were eliminated.”

quote

“My spotter positively identified the local bravo kilo sub-chieftain. I engaged the target at x meters. The shot burned an approximately x diameter hole through the target and severely damaged the mauler he had just dismounted.”

quote

“The shot entered the rear of the Phantom, killing three Brutes and injuring two others.”

O mi gawd, chopper?!?! That would be pretty cool I'm not gonna lie... but the physics of the chopper might be weird compared to what we r used to with the banshee.

Did I just read the word chopper? I doubt thats their word for banshee...

Brute Subchieftain on a mauler? Is that what they are calling the new Brute Ghost or is a new Brute Vehicle or a nickname for a new one?

quote

“The shot entered the rear of the Phantom, killing three Brutes and injuring two others.”

Hint for destructible phantoms, and that Brutes won't get their own dropships?

Interesting stuff. Discuss.

dude if it was a banshee,they would call it a banshee,why would they call it a chopper?we've already seen a banshee so there's no need to hide it.

and the books are filler,that arent in the story line and for all we know ghosts of onyx was after halo 3,so nah


got no clue what the mauler is

Honestly, The chopper kind of sounds like a bad idea, i think it would just be pathetic compared to the banshee or anything

Of course it would be pathetic, but it would be a good addition to the game and people would get used to it. I'm sure they could make it fit by making it look cool. Like, maybe not use a rotar blade but instead using something more like what the Pelican has.

quote Daedric Prince

Whats que?

I suppose, but it would be much more appropriate to have a second person in it if you want to fire anything. Also you wouldn't be able to dodge like the banshee can, thats why a small plane would be a better idea

Yeah but airplanes need to be moving fast to stay in the air, and the faster you are going the more room your going to need, so unless they make a HUUUGE ASS map, then planes wouldn't work that well, unless they do what they did in Custom Edition.

quote Daedric Prince

Whats que?

But they will only be going the speed of the banshee's, and as faster as the banshee's in boost when the plane's in boost, if it has boost, it's not all that fast for a plane, and it is the 2500's

Justin Time, you are the God for finding interesting things about Halo 3. This all sounds awesome! Can't wait!

not so keen on a chopper, doesnt sound like it'll fit in. but if its like the pelican or banshee and doesnt really look much like a helicopter that'll be ok!

It'd be nice if they put in a Junker or a King Raven.

But honestly, they're just screwin' with us. They always do.

What are those?

Seriously, Bungie are WAY cleverer than you give them credit for. They know that some people examine every bit of every post they put up on their news board and they just do stuff like the spartan laser update to get people's imagination running. They're either playing with you, or they've coded it really well.

as long as it doesnt look like noe of our choppers,ill be fine with it
