Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

Assuming this game has the same vehicles as Halo 3, please bungie, fix them. They are incredibly in balanced and its almost pointless to go in them.
I play Big team and lone wolves, thats pretty much it. I use vehicles every game, and this is what I have noticed.
How ground troops dominate vehicles:
All vehicles die in 1 shot of a laser (tanks?), giving the guy with the laser 5 easy kills and the other team 5 respawning vehicles and players. On valhalla the lazer can see the whole map, get on his screen and your pretty much done. Don't forget the missle pod, banshees rejoice, you have 8 homing missiles coming your way.
Then there are power drains, power drains take out ur vehicle for a few seconds and also drain your health, giving the other team a free kill or jack. Power drains come out of anywhere and there are MANY on each map making them an easy way to rack up kills. I agree with you on these points. Though some of these threats can be reduced by practice. Loath as I am to bring this up... But remember the days that the only sure way to kill a vehicle was to shoot two unguided rockets into in (Halo: CE) or be very skilled with the Sniper Rifle / Magnum.
Oh and on the subject of jacking, why is it so easy? When I am in a banshee, I can be 20 feet above ground, then boost away 50 feet higher, suddenly with a spartan pulling me out by teleporting. Or when I try to splatter somebody, somehow they can jump over, turn, and jack. Its just way to easy. I'm 50/50 on this, having the ability to Jack vehicles prevents people from just going out to destroy them, which would result in them being unavailible for a while whilst they respawn
Tanks also need a boost. "Tank beats hunter!...Tank beats EVERYTHING!" , remember that quote? Well in multiplayer it doesn't. I was in a tank shooting at a spartan for about 10 seconds. All he had to do was jump, and my explosion by his feet would do about 1/10th damage. Did tanks really get worse in the future? No... they can 1 shot hunters, but not spartans?
Finally, flipping. Your telling me that a 3,000 lb warthog can flip after barely hitting the side of a wall? Or a mongoose is some how heavier on the right side so when going off a ramp, you flip? Flipping really needs to be harder to do.
The only overpowered vehicle in my opinion is the warthog. The gunner is much to powerful. When welly manned, the warthog is unstoppable. It speeds by grenades and rockets, splatters with ease, and the turret mows down a spartan in under 1 second.
So please bungie, make vehicles worth something. Give the tanks a damage boost, weaken the spartan laser or make it have 3 shots or something, and keep those mongooses firmer locked to the ground. Its just bs...
I disagree with that, the vehicles are the way they are and its on the driver to make sure that they don't flip. The warthog is stoppable, and easy enough to take down.
