*Although in ''[[Halo 2]]'', the Pelican carries two missile pods, each loaded with 8 Anvil-II Air to Surface Missiles, the only time the dropships ever use them in combat is during the end of the level ''[[Metropolis (Level)|Metropolis]]'', when some launch 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 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'', when the Pelican drops off a 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. The gun is also used during the beach assault on Alpha Halo, on the ''Halo: CE'' level, [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]]. The gun is fired into a group of Grunts, and will inflict varied damage, depending on the difficulty. | *Although in ''[[Halo 2]]'', the Pelican carries two missile pods, each loaded with 8 Anvil-II Air to Surface Missiles, the only time the dropships ever use them in combat is during the end of the level ''[[Metropolis (Level)|Metropolis]]'', when some launch 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.
