Honestly, I like driving the hogs, because as the gunner you die a lot faster. And if the other person dies, you can still get away and pick someone else up, but if your the gunner and the driver dies you have to get out and run or make the position switch. What do you guys think? Yes=driving No=gun...Duh!!!

Driving! Definitely driving...

Not because the other person dies more often, simply because I'm frekin good at it :P

And my gf is like the best gunner I've ever seen, so that works out pretty well *gg*

I like both, but like on Blood Gulch if there's a bunch of shees on the other team, I'll wanna shoot cause I'm DAMN good at it, but if there's an opportunity, I would drive.

Both, although maybe driving is preferred if I can get a better gunner.
If you have an awesome driver and gunner combo, they can stay in play for a veeeerry long time, racking up the kills while they are at it.

What do you mean it doesn't make sense?? Sorry for making it too much of a complicated question for you two. (meant in a sarcastic way)

Anyway, I agree that if you have a good driver and gunner combo, you could really put the hurt in the battlefield. I, personally, don't like the rocket hog because it fires too slow. And if there is already a driver in the hog, I don't mind taking the gun because it gives you a chance to prove yourself.

rocket hogs are good for 1 man teams to saturate the enemy base and distract the enemy-
park the hog and fire the ammo, and get out while you wait for it to reload, get in and repeat.
Always get out of the hog after firing to reduce you chances of being sniped.

I typically gun. I find that I can gun better than many other people. If someone's already in the gun, I'll drive. I can also drive a lot better than many people (read: Not bouncing off the rocks in the valley on Ice Fields or rolling the hog on Infinity).

I really enjoy it when I find an awesome driver and we hook up. The [DA] guys all seem to be really good drivers.

Look at the poll it says "Do you like driving or gunning? The possible answers are "yes" "no" etc. The answers should be "Driving" "Gunning" etc.

Ow god, we all know what he means, and so do you.

Why is it that people always have to start -blam!-ing when someone makes a small mistake like this.

Thanks Ice

Anyway... I am a really good driver, esp. in Blood Gulch. I hate it when I get in the gun (because the driver's spot is taken) and the guy driving frickin' flips the warthog or stops at some random point, gets out and leaves me there to die. I'm really good at driving because I NEVER flip the 'hog (unless helped by a grenade or rocket or something). I also know how to maneuver the 'hog so that the gunner is never a sitting duck.

Some advice -
1. When nobody is around, take the flat surfaces to keep from flipping the 'hog.
2. When there are people around, take little jumps to make it harder for them to get a bead on you. DON'T try to be a dare devil and take the biggest jump just because it would be cool.
3. NEVER leave your gunner because then he becomes a sitting duck.
4. If the 'hog flips, DON'T try to flip it and get back in right away. Make sure you secure the area around the 'hog first (that means clearing the area of hostiles for any who didn't know that).
5. Three people in a 'hog are better than two (or one).
6. DON'T spin in circles doing donuts trying to run over one person, let your gunner take care of him.
7. DON'T block hallways and stuff because that just pisses people off.
8. DON'T drift into rocks on purpose because it just slows you down.
9. In a CTF game, the gunner (or passenger) should get out and go for the flag. The driver, meanwhile, should circle the area with the 'hog so he isn't a sitting duck (good ex.=Blood Gulch). When the gunner has the flag, he should come out and wait to be picked up by the driver. Three people in the hog are best for this because then you can still keep the gunner while you are circling the area waiting for the passenger to get the flag.
10. Last, ALWAYS put the pedal to the metal! Hoo-rah!

I'm going to make this advice a topic so more people will see this. So don't tell me I already said that because I'm not that stupid.

Everybody makes mistakes, but you should try to follow these guidelines as much as you can. If you do, you will notice a big increase in your 'hog driving abilities. And remember that 'hog driving is not a newb tactic, it's an art. If you think any more guidelines could be added, send me a message.

I like to drive with a good gunner. They should keep eyes front and kill enemy ahead before you get too close and they 'nade you out of your Hog, unless you're getting shot at from behind or the side. Then the driver has to choose between trying to run over enemy ahead or change course to avoid them till gunner can resume clearing a path.

It's the drivers job to keep the gunner alive, (don't drive in straight lines, don't run over 'nades), and the gunners job to keep the driver alive, (kill enemies in area ahead).

Driver should watch what his sheilds are doing and assume the gunners is doing the same. Sheilds low? Find some cover/put some distance between you and enemy fire till they come back up. Gunner health gets low? head back to base and get him recharged– dead gunners get drivers killed.

Bungie fan - get hooked up with me some time and I'll show you a good time in a 'hog. (that doesn't really sound right). It's cuz I'm a good driver.
