Subject: Since when could ODSTs jack vehicles?

Well I guess I better put some pants on.

I feel like I'm gonna break this thing!

They can't in Halo Wars, and you don't see anyone in the Halo campaign do it, so why can they in ODST?

I don't know what I prefer to be honest, because not being able to jack vehicles would've forced us to play differently than we might've in Halo 3.

What are your thoughts?

Bungie didn't make Halo Wars. Bungie made Halo ODST, that means ODST's can jack vehicles.

I take it you have a lack of Halo Wars knowledge? Let me inform you. In Halo Wars, Spartans were able to high jack enemy vehicles with the press of the (Y) button when the cursor is on an enemy vehicle and the Spartan is selected for use.

Halo Wars was made by someone else. You are also on about Spartans, we're talking ODST's here.

ODSTs are the elite unit of the UNSC (besides Spartans, of course) and have the top-notch training to back it up. They have all capabilities to take over an enemy vehicle.

Despite what you said being illogical, I do understand that simply because you couldn't in one game doesn't mean you can't in another.

Also, I asked for what your views are. Do you want the ability to jack vehicles?

Soooooo where does it say that they can?

Not to mention, since when were ODST's able to be controlled by humans from an alternate dimention?

Yes, Ensembles. My point there was to tell him that there was high jacking in the RTS, and the FPS by Spartans. The way I read it, I came to a conclusion that he didn't think their was High jacking in Halo Wars. And if you think about it, why can't civilians high jack vehicles? Maybe they are just to wimpy, but anyone with a gun and the ability to get on an enemy vehicle can allow them to high jack something.

I don't doubt the ODSTs can jack vehicles but how are you so sure of this information? Is there gameplay footage that I'm missing?

if someone was in a vehicle they would be lethal at close range- jacking is just to balance the fight.

Especially when the one hi-jacking the vehicle has a weapon.

Your reference to Halo Wars is slightly ill concieved, considering the fact that we all know if ODST could jack vehichles in Halo Wars gameplay would be severly unbalance and in favor of Cutter, considering that he would be virtually untouchable by vehichles.

Otherwise, since when could ODST not jack vehichles? It is never pointed out that they couldn't...

Just because you have never seen it does not mean it can't happen
Plain and simple!

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

If they didn't, people will start complaining.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

With a pistol I 2 can jack vehichles....j/k

But this is Halo, the universe changes to make better games.
