all you would have to do is grab on and shoot the side of the banshee untill the piolet dies then hop in the cockpit if they go slow enough that you can board them they deserve to be boarded

this is just a crazy thought i just came up with
In Halo 2 some of the MP levels are going to be big, so there is one ghost and two people (teammates) they both need the ghost one rides it and the other one boards the ghost and holds down the X botton untill he gets to the other teams base, that would make the ghost kinda like a tthwo people vechile

P.S Oh and if you are wondering the if you press X to board you have to press X again to boot the person the person out of the vechile

P.P.S Boarding should be like that it will provide it to be way more fun and people shoudn't be allowed to escape while someone is boarding

Boarding a bansee? If that is possiable I think the driver should be able to barrel roll or something to shake the jacker off...I would personally just ram the banshee into a wall to kill the jacker..or jump out and hit it with a plasma.

The tank would be easy to board take out the driver and then run him over
if he throws a nade jump out...Fast :D

I would doubt if you could board banshees because of the fact that you're enclosed... PLUS, who would be stupid enough to go super slow in a banshee on the ground? The vehicle has to be stopped or moving slowly to board it. And what if the banshee goes into the air? BONUS!!!

Also, boarding isn't limited to the ghost and worthog. I read in my magazine (that's Official XBox Magazine) that you can board Tanks. But I haven't seen it yet in Halo 2 (Neither have I seen the Banshee or ATV but I can garantee that they will be there). But it is yet to be seen how you can board a tank or an ATV...

Boarding Banshees:

as long as one is within reach of the MC he will be able to board. He will grab hold from the wing and pull the driver out of the seat. He will then hoist himself into the drivers seat. This way you won't have to be above the banshee.

imagine standing on the edge of a cliff and dropping on top of a banshee flying by...

Okay why would you get out of your Banshee to board another one? The only way I would do that is if the one your in is badly damage.

going back to that whole idea of temate boarding each other for a lift, wouldn't it be cool to have mc's on both wings hitching a ride then jumping off onto enemy banshee's below?(lol this is dreaming but what the hell)

P.S. Are you sure players can board their teamates vehicles?

u probably cant board a team mates ship, and even if u could it would just kick him out. u cant board on a ghost and just sit there on the wing and ride around. u press a button and he jumps on and kicks out the driver in one motion.

Its impossible;

1. If you somehow were able to open, pull out and throw the character... while standing on an angle in a flying vehicle in midair?
2. The character would just fall and die... and being boarded being an instant death is stupid.

Well said shadow,and dude,(the one that made the topic)let's say SOMEHOW!u managed to board my banshee,i could just crash the damn vehicle on the ground and u;'d be history,(or against the wall),now if boarding the banshee is possible(wich i highly doubt),then it depends on how you'd board it.
(Sorry if i was in any way offensive towards you.)

While playing Halo PC online, there have been countless times where an enemy has gotten to the Banshee right before me and sped off. If I could have just grabbed his feet and slid him out of the Banshee, the problem would have been solved.

lol don't forget people, MC is cunning, but i don't think the idea would be incoporated into the game, although it would be a good idea to put in a Halo book............

First, Bungie has already stated that ALL VEHICLES CAN BE BORDED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. Nuff said. Second, WarCobraGoW has the right info, but OXM got that info from Bungie. 3rd, have any of you read FirstStrike? *SPOILERS*When John gets Linda from her sniping postion, he pushes the fuselage (sp?) up against straining hydraulics, as it is the only way both Spartans can fit. Add to the fact that Banshees are not sealed (you can see their feet from behind) I could imagine banshee boarding very easily. It would be tough however. Who goes slow in a Banshee??

Yah, MC or the Elites whoever will be playable in MP and SP should be able to jack Banshees, while on top of the banshee they can grab the persons feet and with there strength they will chuck the person , and slip in the vechile before it crashes
It will be like impossible to board banshees unless if the person wants to hit you with it
Sp will propably be easier because the elites sometimes try to rush you with the vechile, so you can board the slow ly moving banshee

boarding a tank would not be easy. if anything you would kill him before you could get close enough to board the tank. go try in halo to get close enough to a tank without firing your gun, and the tank driver to go all out on you. i am betting it would be easyer to kill someone in tank then jack it from them.
as for the banshee i can see it, but it would be very difficult to do. again i think killing the person would be easyer then killing your self jumping off a cliff 100 times trying to get him. so i think it will be possible to board them, just hard.
