Would you like to use Pelicans or Phantoms in Halo 3/ Halo Reach?

They should also be able to pick up vehicles, like when they come in and drop off tanks in campaign.
Also the pelican should be more powerful with the built in guns, as the phantom has two turrets with better shots.

Also,

Actually phantoms were introduced in 2531, and The Fall of Reach (battle of Halo: Reach) was in 2552. Halo 1 starts seconds after the end of Reach battle, when The Pillar of Autumn ran away

But even though phantoms were around during the events on Reach, they weren't used, so I doubt we'll see them at any time during Halo: Reach. The Arbiter was also the sole Coevenant commander during Reach, which is why he led the attack against the humans on the ring, and we'll probably see him in Reach, and a lot of the Reach battle took place in space, so expect some sort of ship

Even more thorough, the phantom can hold a crew of 27 (1 pilot, 2 gunners, and 24 in the cargo hold), but for obvious reasons that wouldn't be too good for gameplay, so I agree with Mike's seating plan

Shades are not off topic, the gun on the front of the phantom is a shade


(Quite the first post, eh?)

The only thing you forgot was that they aren't deletable like the Elephants but can be relocated on large maps like Avalanche or Sandtrap and possibly can be spawned on Sandbox.

Pelican for shure.

uhm, I think a scarab might be just a bit too far...even a map the size of avalanche or sandtrap would be too small for a scarab to be non-overpowering, and those maps are about as big as you could get without making things a bit too big.
