Maybe I'm just too good, too bad, or not focused enough but in Halo2 and Halo3 when a Vehicle was on the bridge of destruction it didn't run any different then when It was new. Maybe I'm wrong but a destroyed Hog in Halo3 drives like a new one to me.

In Reach there is no questioning the fact Vehicle damage will return. Now I think Bungie should make the damage work. So I'll go down the vehicles (well some of em)

KEY-(DR) Rate-How easy it is to destroy 1=Not easily 10-Easily

Warthog__
What can be destroyed
Tires-Tires are not easily destroyed but can, destroying them will mess up speed, turning and if you destroy all 4 wheels the warthog will not move.
DR-4

Front-Destroying the front will do the most damage, it will slow the warthog down and smoke up your screen.
DR-6

Back-The back can be ripped apart, not much difference except health wise
DR-8

Gun-The Gun should be destroyable, It wont be easy but it should be doable. Doing this will knock the gun off making your warthog a lot less dangerous.
DR-5

Other-There will be more places. Bottom, sides, etc.

Ghost
What can be destroyed_
Front(gun)-the front will be the hardest to destroy, but will mess the ghost up the most. It will either destroy the guns or make them a lot less accurate. Driving wise it wont effect you much.
DR-3

Wing-The wing (either side) will be destroyable, doing so will effect turning (on whatever side it's on), speed, and other things.
DR-4

Back-The back is also pretty hard to destroy, destroying this completly will make the backend stop hovering, making your ghost "Drag" itself. It will slow it down, and make it very hard to steer.
DR-5

Scorpion
What can be destroyed___
Treds (4)-These like the Warthog tires are very hard to destroy, with the scorpion it's EXTREMLY hard to. Doing so will slow you down and effect turning. All 4 will make it un drivable (still usable)
DR-1

Gun-Your main gun will be prone to destruction. Destroying the Gun will either disable the main gun or make it very inaccurate.
DR-2


Banshee
What can be destroyed__
Front(Gun)-Similar to the Ghost, wont effect driving much but will effect weapons and armor.
DR-6

Wing(either)-Also similar to the Ghost. Except when one of these is destroyed flying will be a lot harder, hovering will be impossible, and if both are destroyed you will loose altitude whenever you drive.
DR-7

Back-The back "wing" is also destroyable. Doing so will make turning impossible. So be careful.
DR-4

Wraith
What can be destroyed_
Front-The Front is extremely hard to destroy. Doing so will effect speed, and armor.

Wing-Either wing can be destroyed. Similar to the ghost it will effect steering and speed. Doing both will make your Wraith very unstable and slow.

Gun-The gun isn't hard to destroy, just hard to hit. It being destroyed will either disable the gun or make it shoot funny.

Chopper
What can be destroyed_
Guns-The guns are hard to hit but easy to destroy. Doing so will make the chopper less deadly.

Wheel/Front-This will do the most damage. It will make your Chopper slower, or undrivable.

Back-Destroying the back will disable the Anti Gravity engines. So you can still move but you'll be dragging yourself.

A well-built sniper rifle is a beautiful thing. Mine has two separate levels of zoom: 'Up-close-and-personal' and 'Hello-you're-dead'.

Cool thread.
It will be awesome if Bungie adds this to Halo:Reach
More destroyable stuff!

I am the hand of fate!

Losing the Turret off the Warthog and making it unable to move would be pretty annoying. I'd rather see the ability to use the turret after you destroy the Warthog, and after you destroy the tires, have it grind around a a third of the speed.

Who's to say the tires are full of air, and not solid rubber with a protective coating, and a flexible metallic spine to keep the tires from wearing down and popping in the middle of a battlefield?

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

hornet - thrusters
, if slightly damaged, turns much slower, if completly destroyed, turning is imposible, and will fly only in the direction opposite of the working thruster.

passenger pads.
if destroyed cant get on.

front- destroyed, missile battery is un-usable, and hornet becomes unstable. (same as machine guns on wings.)

hows that?

Not really. It would make things pretty fun at times. And dont worry it's not like one shot will destroy you, it takes a lot to do it.
