First of all, you can't drive with the flag, so therefore you can't hijack. Second, you can't be hijacked for the same reason.

it would really suck if ur about 2 take off with the flag u get in ur alies warthog and at the last second you get kicked off and you get eaten alive by ur enemy.

it would be cool if u could hijack will having the flag. but it might make for a quikier game.

NO SINCE YOU CANNOT DRIVE WITH THE FLAG IN YOUR POSSESSION. IF YOU HIJACK, YOU DRIVE.

When you hijack a vehicle, you throw the driver off, and get in the driver's seat and then are DRIVING.

Yeah, deathgiver, listen to Spartan... he knows what he's talking about. Plus, if you hijack... let's say... the passenger seat, the driver could take you back to his base (if that was possible).

Doubt it highly.

Read number SIX of this excerpt I pulled from a trustworthy website (link below article):

Ten cool things about Halo 2 that may not be found in other articles. (Why post a summary when everyone else has?)

(This is from memory, some words may be wrong but the main idea of the statements are correct. Also, things will probably change by 11.09.04.)

1) The glass has it's own physics your body flying into it will break it, except it doesn't all break as one, it will only break in the spot that you hit.

2) Four player split-screen is still in. You can play 4 people with one Xbox Live name - the 3 others will be guests if they don't have live accounts and all 4 players can have their own headsets.

3) If the host happens to leave over XBL the hosting goes to another client in-game till the game is over (or maybe till that person leaves, that part wasn't clear.)

4) This was confirmed and denied, so take this one with a grain of salt but supposedly Halo 2 supports Widescreen.

5) Sketch showed us in Zanzibar there are windows in the top base and if you shoot out the supports for the wooden over-hangs - they will flap down and cover the window hole. Providing cover, and if you walk into the wood it will push out so you can look out the window, shoot, come back in for cover - then poke out again, if you desire.

6) I thought it was cool that you couldn't carry the flag as a driver of vehicles. You can be driven but you can't drive. It created a much more frantic atmosphere where team work was key, "cover me!" "Help him get the flag!" Were phrases sure to be heard.

7) You can see your legs and parts of your torso. It may not seem cool to read, but it's amazing when you are playing. When you are an elite you can see your knee's when you jump (they have that different kind of jump.) It's pretty sharp.

8) Master Chief HUD is blue, Covenant HUD is a purplish color. I played as both Elite and MC and I didn't notice a difference between them. It seemed balanced to me, others said the Elite jumped higher and in articles online I read that they thought MC jumped higher so I don't know what's right and wrong.

9) The death animations don't seem as predictable. In Halo 1 you have a bunch of animations for different things I died many ways and never did it seem the same. Once, I got hit with a rocket, while in a ghost, while I was next to these explosive barrel-type things and my ghost exploded incredibly violently - my body went twirling into the air, literally as if someone put a peg in his torso and spun them as if on a "Wheel of Fortune" type table. My arms and legs flapped - as realistic as my mind could envision it, there also was no tearing type appearance in the models. It was incredibly clean looking.

10) The sniper scope, the actual scope, is different. It's pretty cool looking, it doesn't do that graphical animation on back. It's nice though, supposedly it's more forgiving. I died wheneer I found it. The shotgun is cool looking too, probably one of my favorite weapons. It looks very similar at the end where the aiming marks are but when you get closer to the stock it's a different design.

Still, no point in hijacking another position. That'll be like taking 1 step forward 13 steps back... to the enemy base that is

I sure hope so. Its going to be pretty hard running with a flag, and with no vehicles around, like in Halo.
