Well you did empty 3 clips of AR ammo into him. One shot or so is enough to tell him, and if he doesn't respond chances are he won't if you pile 180 rounds into him. It pisses me off when people do that. Then I have to wait for my shields to recharge.

but he only fired 3 shots. nothing wrong with taht. no, you were facing a moron, and there was a simple solution:
when he came at you and tried to run you over, you should have held 'e' so that when he got close enough for you to enter, you would get in the side/ gunner seat of the hog. i hate the morons who don't understand that a few shots is ok.
the only case this wwould be a problem is in a no shields slayer, where yes, he did have a right to run you down

From his reaction, I would say that it is safe to say that he was the noob. The first time I ever played Halo multiplayer, I started to drive off and my team mate hit me with a couple of rounds, I immediately assumed he wanted a ride and waited on him, I'd prefer to have a gunner anyway.

You didn't do anything wrong.

yeah.. the first time i played i thought he was an enemy. i pulled the break when i saw he wasen't. than he hopped on my gunner and i said 'what a good idea'
since then, everyone i've played was so.......yeah....... they do'n even respond to one ar shot at all...they think tat a hog alone is better than a hog+ gunner.
idiots

People, there IS a talk-to-team button on halopc. Most people are just too caught up in the action/too busy getting shot at to realize it.

By the by, don't try the "press e when the hog drives by" trick unless all of these apply: you are REALLY good at strafing, the guy in the hog WANTS to pick you up, and dont mind dying the first few times. You have more of a chance of getting run over than you do jumping into the hog

yeah but by the time you type in, "Wait I want to go with you" They usually leave. And now it's not cuz I type slow (which I don't, I'm a decent typer) I usually just fire once at them.

But firing once at them doesnt always work. Who notices one shot in a frenetic gunfight? And most weapons arent that accurate, unless you use a sniper rifle, in which case, the driver is dead.

your five feet from them, so ar will hit the 3 times, if you fire a controlled burst. (same with pistol, sniper, and all plasma weapons). and you dan't shoot them when there beaing shot at, you shoot them before they go into battle

Ha that would be dumb to shoot them during battle.

But like i said, who notices one shot when there are shots going all around the map? The guy in the hog usually thinks there's an enemy behind them trying to take them down, unless you message them.

Most of the time, you end up firing so few shots that the guy in the hog doesn't notice it, and when you do fire enough to get his attention, he turns around to run you over cause he thinks youre screwing around.

Thats why i always use messaging

I message them usually but sometimes you have to just fir one shot to get their attention.
