You mean the shifting gears of the warthog like first to third? Yes it will be but it will be Auto Matic for us but the MC might do it on his own...

Well I mean it would only make sense if you could drag in a specific game type. One cool ass thing would be doing a drive by on clans, but it sucks that a grenade or rocket can easily kill/flip you and your ride...I think you should survive a rocket if you are in a warthog, but you just fly out. unless the rocket directly hits the gunner,passenger,or driver. Other than that it should just break your shield...

The ability to shift gears would be a great option for those who want to work on, and improve, their Worthog craft. Downshifting to the lower gears would be a great way to keep up speed through the narrow sections of some maps - Speed is a great counter for vehicle boarders. Give gamers options. Let them choose whether or not they would like to master manual gear selection. It would be another way for a player in the Halo Universe to separate himself from every other gamer out there. Drivers for hire!

I would even take it a step further, and allow for gamers to setup a drivers profile. Instead of a Halo 1 driving style, you could go into the profile settings and map a deeper control setup to your player. If you would like full analog control of the gas (with the right trigger), rather than a horn, you got it. If you would like to use the right thumbstick as a full 360 camera, and the left thumstick as the steering input, you got that too! You could even setup for manual gears, as well.

These options would definitely seperate the drivers from the passengers.

options are good, but in the OXM thing they said you could hear the warthogs gears turn, there was no mention there, or anywhere else, that you switch gears manually

I have watched the halo 2 E3 trailer and i couldn't hear the gears changing. Changing gears on the warthog sounds hard and i think its a load if crap

ya he's right i just rread the issue again and he's absolutely right but bungie is full of mysteries this might be one of them we probably will never know until halo 2 comes out

There are going to be gears, with HP and TQ curves in each gear, and RPM. And that the sound is more real, with gears change, and power from HP/TQ curves in the RPM.
And that Bungie had help with people that worked on RallySportChallenge n they vehicles.
Also that the hog handles better, and more real, and that the hog has a e-brake now.
OMX said that Halo 2 might even beat some racing games out there.
Thats what I heared.
