Halo Infinite - How To Fly Any Pelican In Multiplayer 

This is something that is actually going to happen really far down the line supposedly. A MP Pelican and Phantom are in the game and being worked on possibly for when AI are added into the game.

Coming ai troops in next season?

​@@sesataham1406 no. Not next season.

From the looks of it that’s what’s going to happen

still no proper pelican, only phantom.

Well, it was actually quite easy to make flyable pelicans in Halo 5 forge. There's likely a video demonstrating that online somewhere.

You could do it in reach with that one Easter egg in New Alexandera

As someone who played Halo 1 PC custom games online with modded maps, it was glorious.

The way the drop ship worked as a mobile spawn point in Star Wars Battlefront was pretty sick.

Now that is a good idea

Nope

@@dennismakarov93 they brought back the Tank Gun, so who knows

@@Dyxzan 343i recently stated in a blog post that they are "anti-fun" and not to expect "any fun features to be included in any future updates".

@@dennismakarov93 source?

@@capnkaba I made it up

same😭😭😭😭😭

For some reason halo Devs bungie included are allergic to letting players fly pelicans to this day despite all these advancements in gaming tech they still haven't figured out a way to properly implement it in normal gameplay

​@@loweni7460 even though we've found ways to play with them in halo 2 n reach

The pelican has always been a proper player usable vehicle since CE. Infinite's pelican is using Halo 4's pelican as a base, they fly exactly the same. I think the issue is that they just didn't ever intend for it to be piloted by players in Infinite because because beyond its model the pelican is still quite unfinished. Like you said the explosion state doesn't exist at all, the pelican's wings and thruster pods barely rotate during flight and of course animations don't seem to exist for sitting in the pelican's seats.

@@FreemanFreak87 When I asked a dev in a live Q/A he said the phantom and pelican were going to be useable and they were going to have some "fun" features and they even teased flying it in multiplayer. The art gallery for forge even had the pelican in it along with all the beta maps vehicle and non vehicle having the pelican and phantom in it.

Right it wont work for me either someone needs to make a tutorial

I swear I thought I was the only one thinking that, I truly don't understand it it drives me crazy lol it's like they tease us knowing that pelicans was our childhood dream, 343 knows that almost the entire community would love to have a open world forge with functional flyable campaign vehicles on a map like HR forge world, they literally have the ability to do so and yet still ignore it, if they was to add that it would change the entire course of halo to the greatest it's ever been but it's like they want to keep up with trends instead of the community.

That's not why the legs don't fold up. So the pelicans in multiplayer are actually set up and scripted to have their landing gear raised. Even ones carrying vehicles are scripted to have ropes deployed like in the campaign. The issue comes down to when a pelican spawns in to deliver a vehicle, it spawns in fresh which means a driver is spawned into the vehicle and the vehicle turns on. When a vehicle turns on an activation animation plays, the Wasp's canopy closing for example. The problem is is that this activation animation gets overwritten in priority by a crap ton of other things already going on in the match such as players getting into vehicles of their own (Player scripting is one of the highest priorities on the execution list). This is also further aggravated by server latency and so on. But I'm sure this can be fixed, just with everything related to multiplayer scripting in all games, when problems like these occur they can be a pain to solve.

@Nicholas LaRock holy shmoly that makes a lotta sense, i didnt realize that was what was goin on. appreciate ya o7

​@Nicholas LaRock noticed this too, and it is actually stuck in a half-way animation because when the rear wheels are out, the front wheel is still tucked in on multiplayer as you can see, but when the player exits, the front wheel deploys with the rear ones, so the animation is maybe half played? Or half stuck or something, I would have thought it was all wheels, or no wheels out.

@@Spendingryan No, I believe you're right since when you get in the pelican there's a significant delay before the landing struts start to rise. I really wish I had access to the game's code so I can figure out what's going on. I'm legitimately really interested in this problem. Lol.

@@ARandomProtogen682 Yes. They had a recent huge shakeup lasting from way before Bonnie leaving to way after. It's now being run, hopefully, by people who understand Halo and it's community. As soon as the new management took over, they shut down a lot of things Bonnie had planned before leaving, and started planning/work on Cross-Core, fixing Season 3, etc etc etc on everything we, the fans, ACTUALLY want. I'm excited to see the fruits of the new management beyond just S3 and the great leaks so far. However, I'm still being cautious with 343, new management or not.

@@fkdaybreak3626 Its a fun glitch that ruins nothing and only brings joy to people who've wanted to fly the pelican for so long (like me). Removing it makes 0 sense because it's not even recreatable in an online matchmaking game.

No you weren't don't cap
