Ok, first I would like everyone to know that I am not in any way trying to copy Hikaru 119(who does awesome guides by the way). I just want to lend some knowledge to people having trouble with vehicles. I will be covering the ghost and the warthog today, the banshee and take tommorow. I will list at least 2 ways to defeat each vehicle, and yes, they work. Alright now that you read the intro, let's get on with the guide.
#1. THE WARTHOG: The warthog is a favorite of people who just like to run you down, and never get out of the car. The first 2 ways are obvious: plasma grenades and the rocket launcher. Thise are the easy ways out, but here is a tip to make them even easier:Sneak attack. If your going up against a fully manned warthog, and have a rocket or plasma, don't show yourself until the time is right. Many a cocky player have died because they popped out too early, then got ventilated by gun fire while reloading from missed rocket shots. Although a good player can dodge the bullets and still kill the target, it's always good to be on the safe side.THE OTHER WAYS: The other ways are a bit more challenging, taking skill, and occasionally luck to acheive. The sniper rifle. If you're a good sniper, all the sniping basics apply here. Leading your shots is key: If you can lead your shots right, 1 or 2 bullets should take care of the driver/passenger/gunner(the gunner is the easiest in my experiences). The last way is my favorite. If you only have frag grenades, killing a hog isn't too hard. When the driver comes sraight at you(and most do), just throw a nade where he's gonna be. It's that easy, and it works(i've done this like a million times)!NOTE:All tips apply to both hogs.
#2. THE GHOST: Basically, the ghost is a more challenging version of the hog, and can be defeated in the same ways, it's just a little harder. The Ghost does have another weakness though. A good sniper(again with the sniping) can pick off a player right after he gets in the ghost. You c, ghosts are(like any other vehicle) slower for a small period of time before they can really get going. You can take advantage of this by shooting him/her in the head with the sniper rifle while during this period, and yes, it is entirely doable.
Tell me if this was helpful or not please. Check the Maw tommorow for part#2 of the guide, covering the big ones: the tank and banshee.
