I think it would be cool if you had a few more options when hijacking someone. LIke, once youve climbed on to the vehicle you could choose between pulling the driver out, beating the driver down, or shooting with whatever gun you have equiped. Eachone would have its own button of course. Dont know, just thought it would be wicked to see a guy hanging on to a worthog, blasting away at the drivers face with his AR. Obviously, people would have to think before they did this. You wouldnt want to shoot the driver if you had rockets equiped. Using grenades should also be an option on every vehicle, not just the wraith and tank.

Ways to balance this:

If you pull the driver out, you automatically jump in the driver seat. This is a good option if your in a hury.

Beat downs and weapons are just like youd expect. For example, if you jumped on with a sniper rifle, it would only take one shot to kill the driver. This is the deadlier option. However, if you start shooting, or throw a punch, the driver can try to escape.

No, not like that at all. No special animations or anything. What i mean is, you hit RB to jump on a vehicle right? Now that your on the vehicle you have some options. Heck, if you really wanted to you could just catch a ride, just holding on to the side of the vehicle. When you first board the vehicle, your aiming recticule is on the driver head. If you want you can use your weapon to start shooting. It would take the same number of shots as if you were just on the ground. It would also take two beatdowns. Or, you could pull the driver out and jump in his seat. But lets say you have the sniper rifle, when you first jump on pull the triger and the driver is instantly dead. From there you could even aim for the gunner or the passenger. Hit RB again and youll jump off the vehicle. If the driver tries to escape your gunfire, you automatically jump off.

I take that back, i think you should automatically dismount when the driver is dead or escaped. Keep in mind, the driver is stuck until you either toss him out or start shooting. Once you start shooting, he can hit RB to try and escape. The animation of climbing out of a vehicle takes a second, the person boarding should still have plenty of time to do damage.

Sure why not, i mean, i cant imagine that actually happening in matchmaking, but the possiblity is fun to think about.

Plus, the passenger could fight back against the person hijacking them.
