Maybe its hover engine needs traction on a rougher surface, and if the surface is smoother, there's less friction, so it glides.

Either that, or Bungie overlooked that detail.

I think you're just seeing the fishtailing of the hover.

Maybe it's because that map is more wide open and you notice the bumps more when you turn because you are traveling at a higher speed. Or maybe I am retarded...

It's probably because the creators of the vehicles used warthogs (they slide on ice) as their base for the others. They just forgot to delete that hovering on ice thing.

No, the ghost just keeps moving a bit because it takes a couple seconds to stop without using the brakes. Same with all vehicles. Except the ghost can move sideways.

That's a good question, I've wondered that myself.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

it could be a possible physics engine glitch, or just a problem with the ghost programming. however you need to make sure your going the same speed and in a straight line when testing it out. i've never really noticed personally, but i'm usually on the run to recover or steal a flag on that map so i don't really take time to notice such things.

>.>...Not to mention the Ghost are easy to flip...
And that is quite odd that a Ghost slides around on the ice when they're a hovercraft...I couldn't really notice 'cause the Ghosts like to slide around a lot even off ice ^^
