Ok heres my idea, since now vehicles can be damaged do you think that it would aid in the help of stealth? Wait a sec I know what your thinking... Huh? Damaging your own vehicle thats stupid it will make more noise then but heres a good idea! If you shoot out your lights on the hog then no one can see in a very dark level unless of course.. Someone has their lights on our you go into a lighted area.

Or maybe it doesn't have to be so wasteful and you can just turn off the lights

It's probably something that'll make it into the game

Or even better

If you're at the top of a hill, and there's a Covenant patrol down below, you can shift your Hog into neutral and let it roll down into them

...yes...that'd be nice

Ya that would be cool they said they were adding a horn so why not a switch for the lights ya know? But if they dont just gotta go Medi-Evil on it lol.

Edit: LOL That would be hilarious I can see it now... "Hey whats that?" Grunt "Uh oh!". "Huh?" Elite as it gets run over.

Sacrific sight for sound heh? With no lights on in a dark area I think you might make more of a scene when you start running into things:)

What about driving 2 hogs one slightly ahead of the other heading towards the enemy, and the driver that is behind jumps out and jams the x button so that he boards the back of the forward 'hog. Then throw a plasma grenade into the back of the 'hog he just left, and then they drive away leaving the empty 'hog to plow into the enemy and explode.

Well, think of it as using an exploding hog to smash the lights out of your enemies? :)

I'm sure buys it for the articles, st like the rest of us....;)

OK, back on topic do you think you will be able to damage the vehicles with a melee attack? This goes back to your no lights idea, because shooting when you are trying to be stealth is counter productive.

Ya good point but if you do this before you leave the base ya know? Not to mention since Halo 2 now uses 5.1 everyone who uses it in the area will be able to hear it to lol if you brake it in anyway ya know?

I think the damage would awsome because its more realistic and it would be cool drivin around in a shot up wathog
