Just wondering, does anyone know if there has been something announced about how much damage say, a covenant drop ship could take? Or a warthog perhaps? Because I wonder if they will have 'specific areas' on the vehicles that would do more damage to make it be destroyed quicker. also, will they just blow up every time, or could they just be disabled, and collide with the planet, but if it hits too hard it WILL explode. Say it can be disabled, could the survivors still run out of the disabled ship in a desperate attempt to attack? Im just kinda curious and haven't heard too much on the subject, other than the vehicles will be destructable.

It would be awesome to be a sniper and take out a whole tank with one well placed shot, even though you can do that by just killing hte driver now, it might be cooler by killing the tank, then the driver.

taking out a tank with a sniper rifle? I think they should make it so that you need a rocket launcher for the job.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to take out a tank with just one single sniper shot.

In real life that is.

if anybody has read first strike i think it was either linda or kelly who was able to take out banshees with just her sniper rifle with well-placed shots. so yea i think that'd be cool

i think itd be sick to have them destroyable... but it ruins the fun in a way, cause if u want to get in a vehicle online and an enemie is in it ur gonna have to kill him or risk destroying him and the vehicle :(

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

If they have destroyable vehicles in multiplayer then I think there needs to be an option for respawning the destroyed vehicles. Say after 5 minutes the vehicle would respawn and maybe even limit the number of respawns so you have to be careful with them.

agreed, it would be kinda lame when suddenly there are no more vehicles left.

are you talking about sp or mp. In single player i think having destructible vehicles could work and i think it's been confirmed that the phantom dropships are destroyable.
I think in MP it would only be good it they respawned a little while after you destroyed them. Otherwise you would run out of vehicles really really fast.

Vehicles should respawn in mplayer the same way my idea of infantry spawning in out levels... a dropship (the vehicle destroyed determins which one) will drop off another vehicle.

Also, I want to beable to disable warthogs and ATV's with a very well round of meh sniper rifle =P. Just don't make it TOO easy...

Let me clarify a little more on the subject then....the poll is obviously meant for single player, and that's what my topic was. Since we're talking about mp though, I think that there should be an option to have destroyable vehicles. Disabled vehicles would provide nothing but cover in mp, which would be good, but if you're in the middle of a firefight and the thing dissapears, haha, that'd suck. Also in mp, they should have the option to have a 'vehicle limit', much like the kill limit in halo (no limit, 5, 15, etc...) That's just my opinion, any feedback?

I just love the idea of disabling a covenant ship in mid-flight, watching it crash down, then too see a couple fires start up here and there, all of the sudden one of the side doors swings open and only about half of the original numbered aliens come out to attack, with lowered health perhaps too, hmmm....

With the Warthog I was thinking if a well-placed hit were to disable or destroy parts of it, say where the joining rod which holds a weapon on the back, would the weapon still work? like say you could pick up the machine gun if it broke off of the Warthog or even the gauss cannon *KABOOOOOM*

it would be pretty cool to disable hogs and stuff by shooting out tires

I think destructable and being able to disable a vehicle would be cool except there should be some armour or something to cover the specific hit spot if thats what they do so ur vehicle can take a beating on that hit spot before it blows up or dies. it would even balance because I thought it was kinda weird that only covenant vehicles were destructible in halo1 in the campaign, plus I think it would make things realistic than just driving through a pack of 30 covenant and just wait for ur gunner to drop them like ragdolls while they unleash enough plasma make ur warthog look like a puddle of liquid metal.

You can give it flat tires it was on an update before. Vehicle destruction only makes it more realistic. Which is a great thing.
