so with the new vehicle upgrades, ex- fully destructable, Will you no longer be able to ill a person in a tank simply by shooting the tanks multiple times with the pistol.... or will you have to either destroy the tank or actually shoot the person.....

im sure they'll probley make you be able to destroy the tank after a few times shooting at it with the rocket launcher but the person in the tank shouldn't die until it blows up

The tank should be destructable, but it should also take a lot of rockets and maybe even another tank shot before it blows. The tank has the same Titanium-A armor that human ships have for hulls, and that stuff is tough as nails (at least nails made of Titanium-A...hehe).

They should go by how tanks are today... To save money to make more tanks and such, the US makes the rear end of the tank less armored.... In Halo 2, they should do the same, making a well shot rocket kill a tank quickly if it hits the rear end of the tank...

or considering that he driver/gunner hatch is so close to the person, the weak spot could be there. on the hatch.

They will probably keep the single player hatch in multiplayer now and make it you need to shoot it off this time around...

I just thought of something... That machine gun will be much more useful in Halo 2 now... Since Tanks will probably be very easy to hi-jack since they're usually always slow moving...

Yes but if you hi jack a tank with out a barrel what good will it do you which leads me to another question do you think there will be some way you could get vehicles repared that would be cool not so much cool as nessecary however I think tank just like everything else is getting upgraded so who know but i bet it will be pretty much incincible to small arms fire unless you can hit the guy in the hatch.

yeah, but in multiplayer they should stay there the whole time
new ones shouldn't "respawn"

Firstly, please use periods... But anyways, I think it would be cool if they tank was invincible to small arms fire as well, only rockets, snipers, mounted guns and those sort of weapons could do damage to it. I want to fear the tank, not be happy when my enemy gets into one so I can pistol him to death from a distance.
