I don't know what the vehicle interactions would be like in Reach but this theory is based on the hopes that it will be like it has always been. I think we have all been in this situation, your running over grunts and other silly covenant types when you get hit directly by a wraith mortar or some such thing, your warthog or whatever vehicle your driving is damaged but not destroyed, you manage to kill everything but you're sitting there wishing you had a better vehicle. I think it would be nice to be able to repair your vehicle, not all the way, but say you could implement this into the equipment portion of halo, pick up a "repair kit" and go up to your vehicle and a message comes up "press and hold X to repair." Maybe you could have two different repair kits, one for human vehicles, and one for covenant. And of course your vehicle is partially restored. Maybe the windshield of the warthog is still gone or there are still major dents in the armor. I just thought this might be a helpful solution to being destroyed by Choppers.

Or maybe if there are two warthogs and yours is still running but doesn't have a turret maybe you could take the turret of the other and put it on yours, again this could probably be considered equipment...just ideas.

Kinda but you don't turn the magic bolt that makes the steamy engine get all pretty and nice again, i wasn't thinking of and animation, but if there was one its just a spartan punching out the dents of his/her vehicle, just a few ratchet-ish noises and the vehicle looks better. (sorry to bump)

Well, as good an idea as it sounds, I just don't think it would be good gameplay. Do you REALLY want to spend that time fixing a vehicle when you could be out fighting? That's why there are so many vehicles in one place. When one breaks down, just get another one.

I see your point but my thinking was that since Reach is the home of a massive firefight, especially around the generators for the MAC stations, vehicles, at least human, would be few and far between. And me i kinda want to go in prepared, i don't want to be driving a warthog thats about ready to blow when a fight breaks out, especially if playing on legendary (I curse the name of the chopper)

I see, but still. Usually Pelicans give you one, but I know what you mean. Mine blew up once on Tsavo Highway, and I had to walk the rest of the way. Made for longer gameplay though!

But by the time i survived passed the choppers and wraiths on legendary Tsavo Highway, i was in the same position and so frusrated at the game i just quit and didn't play Halo again for a while, i just think fixing your vehicle would give you a tactical advantage, even if it isn't just a few ratchet noises and then your vehicle is fixed, maybe there is a timer on your hud and once time runs out your vehicle is fixed, i woud just prefer to have that option

on campaign make it so that fixing your vehicle costs you a repair kit as well as half of the death penalty:) and make campaign auto scored, not like halo 3 where you have an option
