Subject: Confirmed- Vehicle Hijaking and Turret detaching

Around the Beggining of them showing Security you can slightly see and ODST carrying a ripped off machine gun turret.

On the Other Confirm thread watch the video and around 7:24 you can see an ODST hijacking a Wraith.

Being an Elite is its own reward.

What gave you that thought? The slightly non-canon Halo Wars?

I know, in halo 2 you couldn't rip off turrets and Phantoms couldn't asplode. When halo 3 came out and I saw ripping off turrets and Phantoms asploding I was like "What is this non-sense"

So what Marcus Fenix hijaked a Brumak, he's not complaing. Not saying you are though.

How bout its just a game, and you'll be thanking Bungie for a mobile turret when you get cornered by those brutes.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Boarding =/= Hijacking. Just because they can board and beat a Wraith doesn't mean they can drive it.

It's already been confirmed before >_>
This is old news

yea, turrets and hijacking were suppost to be for spartans only, but i guess in video game progression you have to make sacrifices

Let's see:

ODSTs rip off turrets: Well considering this is a year going for more than 20 years, and ODSTs are the best of the best, and the human race has had 500 years to develop, I can see these ODST benching at least 500 pounds. I think they'd be able to haul around the turret.

ODSTs hijack vehicles: Well for Wraiths, you'd just need to hold on the a crack in the armor, and plant a grenade.

The bottom line is, in many games, realism is sacrificed for gameplay mechanics. There's a balance you have to find. I'm sure ODST will have that balance. Plus. Halo has never been about super realism.

I would also think all soldiers would have an elementary education on enemy weaponry and vehicles. Marines drive wraiths all the time in Halo 3.
