*The player cannot pilot the Pelican in Halo 1, 2 and 3. However, they will be experiencing crash sites in the game to pick up supplies, such as weapons and ammo. | *The player cannot pilot the Pelican in Halo 1, 2 and 3.

*Pelicans in [[Halo 1]], [[Halo 2|2]] and [[Halo 3]] are never seen carrying more than six human [[Marine]] troops at a time, despite being capable of carrying up to fifteen. However, it is likely that this is merely because UNSC troops usually work in small teams during engagements, comprising of 5 to 6 men, known as [[Fire Teams]]. Another likely reason is that the Master Chief, in full armor, wieghs in at about 1000 lbs, making him wiegh approximately as much as 5 fully armed marines. So 6 marines, plus the wieght of 5 means the pelican is towing the average, as [[Halo: The Flood]] stated, | *Pelicans in [[Halo 1]], [[Halo 2|2]] and [[Halo 3]] are never seen carrying more than six human [[Marine]] troops at a time, despite being capable of carrying up to fifteen.

*In Halo CE on [[Assault on the Control Room]], if you hold down X(E on PC) at the beginning of the level you can stay inside the Pelican but beware because soon it goes down and you die. | *In Halo CE on [[Assault on the Control Room]], if you hold down X(E on PC) at the beginning of the level you can stay inside the Pelican but beware because soon it goes down and you die. | ||
*Although in Halo 2 the Pelican carries two [[missile pods]], each loaded with 8 Anvil-II High Explosive missiles, the only time the dropships ever use them in combat is during the end of the level '[[Metropolis (Level)|Metropolis]]', when one launches them against a [[Scarab]], and at the beginning of [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], when Johnson's Pelican launches some if there are any Covenant left when the Pelicans come in. It is also occasionally used in Quarantine Zone, after you first encounter a Scorpion. When you move to the next section, a Pelican (unknown if human or Flood controlled) will fire missiles as it passes by at either you or the Sentinels. Its 70mm chain gun, on the other hand, is used twice during '[[Outskirts (Level)|Outskirts]]', both times against [[Jackals]]. Also, in the level [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], when the Pelican drops off the [[Scorpion Tank|Scorpion]], if there are any [[Covenant]] troops left alive, the Pelican will attack them with its chain gun. On occasion the Pelican also attacks the [[Banshee]]s when they are on approach to the player's position. | *Although in Halo 2 the Pelican carries two [[missile pods]], each loaded with 8 Anvil-II High Explosive missiles, the only time the dropships ever use them in combat is during the end of the level '[[Metropolis (Level)|Metropolis]]', when one launches them against a [[Scarab]], and at the beginning of [[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]], when Johnson's Pelican launches some if there are any Covenant left when the Pelicans come in.
