Ok, it's been confirmed before, I'm just not sure where. I think it might have been one of the older updates... but how is it possible to board the Scorpion tank and the Banshee? I mean, the Scorpion has the hatch that needs to be opened and the Banshee also has the hatch but will be suspended in the air. I mean yeah, "so what about the hatches, just open it up", but what about the animation? It certainly won't be as fluid as kicking a guy off the ATV, or puching someone off the ghost. And surely it wont be done just as quick either. What do you think?

well i can see doing it on the tank, i mean u hop on the side and then open the hatch grab the guy and hop in urself, but with the banshee the whole back end opens up and then u have to jump in losing lots of altitude . . . i dont know, but im sure w/e they do it, it will rock

Theres no more gaps in the hatch, it was confirmed in an earlier update concerning the Scorpion tank. So now there is also no sniping through the gaps.

Precisely. That's why you kill before you run. Ass :P

I bet with the banshee you'll only be able to pull them out if their behind you and your hovering on the ground.

can we do other things besides boarding a vehicle?... like "vehicle sabotaging".. imagine jumping on top of an enemy warthog, sticking a plasma in the passenger seat, or on the drivers lap, then jumping off as he blows his pants.

Just to clear things up, I wasn't being serious about the wing thing, I just think that'd be funny to see.

first if somebody gets close enough to board your tank the deserve to have it

now for the banshee if you can jump on it you should have the option of puting a grenade in it to blow the guy up then jumping off (if close to the ground) or pulling the guy out from his leg then toss him down to his deathe then before you lose to much altitude jump in but i also think that if the person bosts at the right time you should get thrown off

Throwing in a grenade wouldnt work, you would blow the incides of the vehicle out.

if some one was holding on the wing then u crashed into the floor the driver would jump out at the last min so only the the -blam!- trying to still your ride would be injured

u know what'd be funny? if you were driving the tank and u had 4 passengers and they all got boarded at the same time... ok, maybe not that funny... but really i've got a reall stumper for you:

what happens if you were on a ghost, and 2 people tried boarding you at the EXACT same time... one from the front and one from the back. (kinda like a double penetration, elbow, elbow)

i think stealing all kinds of vieacles would be the better than just do it to the ghost or to the warthohog
