Do you think that when someone tries to jack your ride that youll be able to press a button to counter it? Or does that just sound retarded? Just want some feedback.

That might be good, although I think its going to be pretty challenging to board sombody who's good in the first place.

The counter is you're in a vehicle, I think I read somewhere that you can ram into walls or something to smack them off, or you could just NOT let them board you in the first place.

I don't like the sound of it. Its alreddy hard enough to get on a moving vehical without getting run over, but to have it that you could get kicked off and run over even easier for the driver? If they put that in there it would seem like a usless feature to me.

Is there only certian vechicles that you can jack? Becuase I think it would be cool if I could some how jack a bansee or a tank.

  • 06.25.2004 10:36 AM PDT

You could just avoid anyone looking like they want to board you or DON'T CAMP! I used to, and I can't do that now

ill answer your second question with a "yes".
it very hard to board a vehicle. al the guys that played Zanzibar pulled it off once or not at all. and now you think it would be cool to have a counter button? why in the hell would you want that? i think its awesome to board vehicles. its a sign of ownage. itd be like adding a counter to being smacked in the back, in a sense. why would they? and it sounds like a horrible idea.

edit-more vehicle info

bungie said every vehicle was boardable. the tank can be boarded from eitehr side or the turret. thats that. banshee jacking sounds cool tho, another reason why countering jacking shouldnt happen.

it would be dumb to press a button to knock them off, u just go fast so they cant board, ir ur goin full speed or near it, they can board it

I think that boarding should take 3-5 seconds to complete, and in that time, if the vehicle gets smashed into a wall or flipped or something, the boarder falls off

yeh.while your driving and some guy jumps on your vehical like a ghost you should be able to shoot at the him.or like in a worthog if you have a passanger they should be able to shoot them.just imagin seeing a ghost whit a spartan standing on it and the elite driver shooting at him with one hand while driving with the other.

I think a counter to the vehicle boarding is an awesome idea, and realistic too. In some of the vids from Zanzibar, a Spartan in a Ghost was boosting, then turned 180 to face the two Elites behind him, but the Elite just jumped up and landed right on top of the Ghost as it turned and jacked it...to me, this seemed way too easy...plus, you get kicked off pretty fast and probably have time to turn around then take it back again. This would just turn into a big circle of boarding and being kicked off...doesnt sound like fun to me.."B" button for a melee attack to counter the boarder would be awesome, especially in those tight situations where you need it. If you dont want it, then dont use it. But it truly adds more realism and a greater affect to the game in my opinion
