I've got a good question(s) for anyone out there. These are the things that keep me up at night:
1. The E3 demo showed vehicle boarding, but how would you board a warthog from the rear? Would the player take over the gunner, or fight his way to the driver?
2. How would you board a warthog from the front? Would Master Chief pull his swing kick, and knock the driver right into the passenger, knocking him out of the hog too?
3. How does(would) Master Chief always board successfully? I mean, i know its a pretty(very pretty) hard stunt to pull if you are inexperienced, but doesn't(would'nt) the Master Chief lose his balance once in a while?
4. How would vehicle boarding apply to a Tank? Would Master Chief pull open the hatch and yank out the driver?
5. How about Banshees?

These are the things that to my insomnia, and i would hope to be relieved quite soon.

Yes, but how long would that take? And another question: do drivers have control when the other player is boarding?
For example: If I had another man backed against a wall, drove straight for him, and he boarded my ghost, would i hit the wall, or would I automatically turn?

I mean, I know in the videos the driver doesnt seem to even notice the boarder, but what if?

If you could control still, could you get out, and if you did, would the boarder kick thin air, or what?

which brings me to my next: If you can control, could you possibly prevent a boarding (ie swerve sharply, slam a wall, etc.)?

Which brings me to my next (sorry to bore you): does slamming into walls or crashing other vehicles damage the vehicle. I think it would, don't answer this one

on single player, there are many possibilities for boarding, they said. on multiplayer, there's only two: front and back.

you can have members of different teams in the same vehicle i.e Spartan driving WH with Elite in the gunner seat.
