is anyone else a bit iffy on this subject? im afraid to go near a driving marine because although the a.i. is smarter, in the first halo, they had no regard to the human player. like, humans could actually drive ghosts, and one time, a marine ran me over in the ghost right at a checkpoint, and every time i restarted at the checkpoint he ran me over again, and this happened about 17 straight times lol. so is ne one else gonna steer clear of driving marines?

I guessing that is why the Warthog's handling has been modified.

yeah that AI is gonna have to be pretty good, but i guess we'll have to see, im sure the AI on that one trailer was just on a set path to loop around the city until the brute came down and killed them, whereas the guys that got in ghosts were just programmed to stay in the area and kill stuff, and since ghosts can move kinda like players do it probably wasnt that hard

You've forgotten, the marines have gotten smarter. The AI on everyone has been increased. I doubt they'll run you over too much, they'll prolly just slam on the breaks and yell at you for getting in the way or somthing.

^True that^
The Marines wouldn't be allowed to drive in the game if Bungie wasn't absolutley sure that short of doing something retarded the Marines won't randomly run you over. I personally can't wait to fight along side the marines because this time around they seem much much much more intellegent. I think they might be a real asset this time instead of a nusance

I think that the marines should be able to drive but make sure thatt they are awarou of there sourrondings...(sorry botu the spelling)...so they wont run over u...along with that will they be able to detect a throught lets say a ground of cov. hunters and have them alter there path so they wont get killed...or your self....along with that i hope that u can tell them like hey go down that road instead of that one so u have some say in where u r going....

I think that its awesome that the marines can drive now. Even if they do get close to running you over, you can now jump clear over them or board the vehicle. I like walking anyways, but ridding lagger style wouldnt hurt.

I don't remembr where I heard this but bungie said they put checkpoints throughout the level the driver AI has to pass through those checkpoints inbetween checkpoint the AI makes its own desicions. The less checkpoints the more free the AI is the more the more scripted his path is

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!
