i think once the guy is on you are basically about to get kicked off......

ill try to explain.....

if you are going slow, the guy presses X which makes him land or kick you out of ur ghost or whatever.....its one fluid motion....i dont think there is anything that can stop him once he is beginning the motion of kicking you off

well if u watch the video at e3 2004 where they were showing boarding the guy jumps on the vehicle and stands there for like 3 seconds so thats enough time to boost if u are able to.

i still think he was in teh process of boarding, thats just the way it looks if you jump from the top of the ghost....i really dont think anything besides the MC dying there wouldve stopped that guy from getting kicked off

Im pretty sure once you board thats the end, your in the vehicle. And remember: E3 was before halo2 came out, lots of things probably changed.

an example of what nightshade is trying to say is Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow MP. When you get behind a mercinary, you press A to grab him, but it takes about 3 seconds to position the spy and grab. But in this time the Mercinary is frozen. he canot run away, shoot ar do anything. Even if the merc is running and you press A behind him he will stop dead in his tracks so you can perform the grab. Same deal with bording. You cannot knock him off because hes in a motion that cannot be cancelled, and i dont think you'll be able to boost when hes there.

the sniping idea sounds good, but i mean ud have to be pretty quick.....im a pretty good sniper and id have to say that that shot would be a 1-100 shot.....it would have to be so fast that ud basically have to anticipate that the guy would be boarding and almost fire in advance


so basically a nearly impossible shot

and yes i think its a continueous motion so i think you would even be able to shoot him off

I am pretty sure you can jump out of the vehicle, so as not to get injured.
