We can assume that boarding is going to be a part of Halo: Reach. Right? What I would like to see, is that if you have an Energy Sword and board someone, you dash it out and kill the driver or whoever you're boarding. As for boarding tanks and other vehicles with a hatch, you get the hatch open faster with the energy sword. You wouldn't even have to equip it, just have it in your inventory.

Thoughts?

It would be cool if they had weapon specific boarding actions, kinda like Gears' exeuctions

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

great idea to be honest.

imagine your spartan/elite grabbing the sword and melting the hatch open and stabbing the driver!

It would be pretty epic to cut through a tank hatch with the sword and own the driver.


Good Idea.

Yeah and if you had an SMG, you would spray a load of bullets into the vehicle, and kill them.

i think you would have to have it out, not just have it period like you said

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I'd be happy if they just remove the retarded stun effect.

Stun effect?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Close range weapons would give bonuses, midrange weapons not so much, and longer range weapons a little slower.

Think of the boarding possibilities:
Shotgun
Hammer
Sword
Mauler
AR/SMG

I agree. I hate it. Knocking out your shields makes sense but the crippling stun effect means you haven't a chance.

I also hope they sort out tank boarding too. You shouldn't be able to beat a tank driver down from the back, and if you board from the back the driver should be able to get out. It would mean that if you managed to board from the front you can easily kill the driver, but if you sneaked up from behind you are going to have a fight on your hands.

I hate the tank boarding rules more than anything in H3. Just infuriating.

My problem with them is that the driver can shoot off boarders on the front in both the Wraith and the Scorpion.

Could be better, yes.
Also, more logical if more weapons than just the sword would be implemented.

sounds like a good idea to me
