Title says it all, who agrees?

I preferred the hijack system in Halo 2 where players had epic hijack fights over Ghosts and Warthogs, but the Halo 3 hijack system is just appauling, you're so open to an attack and it's just annoying after you've been kicked out of your vehicle and the enemy glued some rocks on you with their feet and you have no shield either.

I hope in Reach that they remove the stun feature from hijacking, i really do.

Yes, I find it annoying too.

I agree, bring back Halo 2 boarding (though I do like that you take damage from the melee in H3).

And it ended up with people just jacking people back and forth.

They must not have thought that having your shield ripped off was enough. and yes it difinetly should be removed, not the lowered shield though, that should stay as is.

I agree but if they don't they should at least ruduce the stun time because 3 or so sec. is anoying. You should have enough time after being hijacked to either get out of the way or try to get your vehicle back.

i actualy managed to kill the hijacker a couple times and its pretty funny (and epic when its the last kill) because it seems imposible to do so lmao so i think it should remain as it is now

It's more fun then being splattered by the Ghost you just lost because they broke your legs when hijacking you.

Why does being kicked out of a vehicle stun you but being smacked by the concentrated point of the butt of a rifle only knock down your shields?

They should make it so we're normal speed, but we can't highjack for five seconds.

Ok like some other guy said, it will be back and forth of just hijacking. the stun gives a chance to get away or even kill the enemy player and on top of that there are times when i was hijacked and lived after they tried to kill me.

i also have had times when i was hijacked and even jacked it back from them

:)

In response to the people who say that people would just board eachother back and forth, my response is that there would be a very small delay where whoever just got jacked can't jack back. After this tiny period of time they would be able to, this would make it so after hyjacking a vehicle you need to drive off asap.

I don't really care what Bungie does with boarding; either way is fine for me.

Keep the damage and remove the stun. Also make it so you can't reboard a person for 10 seconds after being boarded.

  • 06.19.2009 10:25 PM PDT

I say just keep the damage and remove the stun. Because the problem in halo 2 was that people could sometimes get in a corner and continously board.

Damage makes it so if your boarded back off you can really just shoot the guy and end it.

Indeed.

nubba dub scrub in a tub

I didnt vote because both sides are fair. If your side kicked out of a fast moving vehicle doesnt it make sense that your moving a bit slower? And also its annoying when just after jacking someones vehicle they can suddenly turn around and take it back because he is apprantly uninjured.
On the other hand, its incredibly frustrating when i get jacked and cant move anywhere because my feet suddenly froze and need to reboot (eh?eh?). I think perhaps mabey if when u get kicked out of a ride u roll away or somthing so they cant kill you straight away and you cant jack them straight away

  • 06.19.2009 10:58 PM PDT

Were it so easy.

I disagree. it's realistic the way it is. if you got hit by a spartan or elite you would be injured and move slower.
