January 30, 2004 (Warthog's Day)
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.

i think that the -blam!-pit will be closed in and youll have to board it or destroy it.

"One thing hardly anyone at E3 noticed, was that when you board a Warthog, instead of taking over the driver seat immediately, you simply yank the driver out – you then have to hop into the Warthog manually. A two-stage process designed to create interesting encounters on the slightly more boardable Hog"

instead of just boarding after pressing "x" there will be a sequence of events for the larger vehicles as stated above. this would make balance to the closed -blam!-pit and would force people to strategize. i think since there is multiple seats for boarding then multiple people will be able to try and board a vehicle at the same time and thats when the "two-stage process" and the "interesting encounters" will happen. either that or just blow it up but then you cant drive it.

Part of the interesting encounters might mean that you can kick out the passenger too. The same way the Brute did in the E3 2003 demo.

i was thinking maybe if two people could board at the same time then they would have to fight each other for the seat

It has already been stated in OXM that you can board not only Scorpions, but Banshees as well.

You jump strait up, doing a tripple blackflip spin butterfly maneuver, grabs one of the banshee wings and cause the banshee to spin around from the power and speed of your impact, then the driver gets dizzy and falls out and you have to enter the banshee before it hit's the ground, or else you get crushed.

That I know from very reliable sources

All vehicels can be boarded read he updates.

Jaime says they've finished adding "boarding" seats to all the vehicles. That means that quite apart from the vehicle-jacking stuff, every vehicle that can be boarded, sat on or otherwise utilized, now has functioning seats for real-life multiplayer and AI single-player modes.

i think you need to read that stuff a bit better.

it hink you shouldn't be able to board a tank. well, the guys on the tracks, yes, but not the driver: Open the hatch, pull out the driver and than throw him of the tank.
Like the driver will let someone just open the hatch like that.
Like the driver will actually just let himself get pulled out so easily, i'm pretty sure a driver would struggle back.
With the ghost i's a completely different story. When suddenly a guy kicks you off the OPEN ghost, there is very little to do against it.

You'd need to be able to board a tank otherwiswe you'll always have to blow it up, and you'll never get it (unless you snipe of course). That could be good in itself, but I think boarding with a tank is fair play.

lol one guy boards a tank and shoves the other guy out, then that guy boards it, then the other guy boards it, etc., etc.. That could get a bit boring, it'd be more like some petty sissy fight.

Perhaps you can shoot the tank hatch off. That would leave the driver vulnerable to weapons and make boarding easier

i can see tanks being the most difficult vehicle to board, moreso than banshees

maybe when another player goes to board a tank, the driver should get the option to melee attack him off again...

Maybe u can jump up the scorpion(still in first-person) then give the driver a head-shot or poke him with your sword, dispose of the body and jump in. but i have no idea how the hell we're gonna manage that on a banshee.

yeah!
when the banshee flies low, u jump up then take a dump on the banshee and then stink him out.
