I was thinking about comandeering vehicles, and I've heard rumers that it is possible to hijack the Scorpion. Is it true? If so how would you go about doing it? Would you crawl up on the front, open the hatch, and fire a few rounds into the drivers face, then pull them out by the throat? (That would be cool!) I also wondered if it is possible to keep people from comandeering your vehicle. I mean if there's someone on the hood of your Warthog, can you blow them away with the LAAG? Details, anyone?

It hasent even been confirmed if you can get a scorpion in halo 2. they have yet to even mention it. As for the blowing someone off your hood, i dunno.

Another thing I just thought of: You can only board if the vehicle is going slow enough. So, since none of the vehicles accelerate in no time flat people can just take back their ride before you can get away, then back and forth and so on. I think that you should hit the ground and have to get up instead of landing on your feet all the time. Oh and the Scorpion thing, I read that we will use it a lot more than in Halo CE. I mean the Covies found Earth, you'll want the heavy artillary comin' in guns blazing!

ALL vehicles? I doubt the Banshee is boardable, but if it is... well that just kicks ass.

Yes ALL vehicles are boardable. I dont know for sure about the option to repel boarders, although it may be there. I DO know that if you try to board at the same time as another player, you battle for the vehicle in some undoubtably cool way.

The was an update a while back that talked about boarding the Scorpion from three ways, left side, right side, and jumping straight onto the thing from the turret. How you pull the driver out I dunno, but Im sure it looks awesome
