Subject: Vehicles on Non Vehicle Maps(Firefight)

Okay, So I am curious. Security Zone was displayed at E3 for firefight mode. Bungie never stated whether or not that map featured vehicles, seeing as they didn't say anything I am assuming Security Zone does not. But I did notice that the Phantoms had dropped off wraiths. My question is can you jack those wraiths and in theory commandeer a vehicle in a non vehicle map? Then again that map may support vehicles and Bungie just never stated it. But that begs the question if the Covies can still have vehicles on a map not designed to give the ODSTs vehicles.

yeah i think it'd be really cool to have a larger map where u could maneuver with vehicles...that'd be awesome

It has been confirmed that we will get vehicles on certain firefight maps.

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

I believe I read something about not being able to jack an enemy vehicle, except to plant a grenade inside of it. I will try to find where I heard this.

We will have to wait and see. ODSTs are not as strong as spartans so they might not even be able to break the top off

That is a good point, I never thought about that.

Well, ODST's might have something else for dealing with vehicles...
Something like C4?

In one of the videos I saw an ODST on a mongoose and someone(i don't know who) was driving him around. I don't know whether or not this was in the campaign but if it was in firefight it would most likely be on the level crater(night).

Nah, C4 is not Halo.

  • 06.09.2009 9:07 PM PDT

I can't see a mongoose being effective in Firefight. You can barely stay alive on one as a spartan. It was probably in campaign, it is a little more effective there.

  • 06.09.2009 9:09 PM PDT

There will be vehicles, check out the bungie news for sgt. Johnson Scratch that I'll link ya :There you are: so speaking if you look at the screenshots there is a SS of Johnson in a Hog on Firefight mode (it has Points coming up)

Cant jack u ain't no spartan

From what I heard... If you board Wraiths (Which you can only do In firefight mode i'm guessing, as well as picking up turrets) the blow up like the AA Wraiths.

ODSTs can hijack vehicles, but hijacking is disabled in Security Zone for balance issues.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?
Black Tower

heh, maybe.
i mean, you could hurt the wraith until the driver's sheild popped off, then shoot him in the head until he dies, and do the AA wraith glitch.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

Well the cover on a Wraith can be knocked off by normal damage without destroying the Wraith, so my guess is that you could perhaps jump on top of a wraith and shoot the cover off.

If you could then kill the driver you might be able to pilot it, but of course I doubt a Marine could be able to drive a Wraith, and on top of that I'm guessing the Wraiths will explode once you kill the driver, like AA Wraiths in campaign.
