this probably has been brought up but, picture the scene:
you and walking amongst a litter of bodies that you and your trusty plasma sword have just slaim, when you hear the distant whoosh of a ghost in a turbo boost. you spin, catch a glimpse of the ghost hutling towards you, there's no time to dodge and the pilot leaps out, whilse the, now unpiloted, ghost is milliseconds from hitting you.
i know this may seem far-fetched but it has happened to me without the turbo boost in halo multi player on XB, and i would like to raise the question: can you hi-jack moving, un-manned vehicle? im talking about from the front BTW.

i seriously doubt it, but if it's moving slow enough i'm sure you'd be able to side step and jump into the unmanned ghost/hog whatever. It stands to reason as i've been able to jump into the passenger seats of speeding hogs in blood gultch without any problem at all despite it's insane speed.

But if you're worried about getting hit because you can't side step in time, it's starting to look like the jump button is going to be a bit more helpfull in avoiding vehicles. So keep that in mind.

Only Becausae I'm Awesome

Forum Tutorials --- WATCH THEM AND LEARN

Throw a plasma grenade at the other guy and both die. Not much you can in that situation. Plus why not jump it. The ghost doesn't hover that high of the ground, and even with milliseconds to go until impact, it should slow down pretty dramatically. If you landed on top of the ghost, i'm pretty sure their's no reason why you can't just hop in/hyjack it since theirs nothing in the way, exept maybe a driver. Other than that, your dead.

And why would the driver jump out? So you would end up as a suicide? I'd take the kill if it were me in the ghost.

thats only in very rare instances. And in halo1, if you were worried that the person you were trying to run over would just crouch under your ghost you could aim the reticle down and they would have no chance at all to avoid getting plowed over.
