"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

How will the marines know when you just want to skip killing covanant, or stop and shoot them with the chain gun? I don't see how Bungie can pull it off with what looks like is going to be scripted AI.

:D

Maybe the marines will be scripted to run all the covies over. besides, if you wanna go straight through, just get into the driver's seat.

They said the AI had more of a fixed path, I dont think they'll be doing it often.

Thats actually a really good question that nobody can answer. The faqs state that they'll fly to wherever they please, so almost never the same spot twice basically, but I just cant see how that's gonna be possible without some sort of scripting.

But I remember hearing in an update that the game will have "checkpoints" for the marine drivers (and/or pilots) that they will follow for a mission or objective. And if there arent any checkpoints, they'll then drive to wherever they see fit. So yeah, tough question that I'm really looking to see how they'll work

Dude, don't be bashing the idea that you can *FINALLY* do some of the gun-play in a warthog in SP. Don't get me wrong, running everyone over is fun as hell, BUT IT GETS ANNOYING! And plus, do was mEi aSs said if you want to skip certain parts, "if you wanna go straight through, just get into the driver's seat."

about the marines driving stuff, since you can now drive every drivable vehicle, it would be awesome if you could tell a marine to get into a vehicle, so every time theres a warthog, or even a tank, you can tell the marine to get in it!!
