I read a preview at IGN that talked about how players at E3 would get knocked out of a ghost, then immediatly jump back in, get kicked out, immediately get kicked out, jump back in, etc, until someone threw a grenade or launched a rocket to stop the squabble over the vehicle. This sounds like an absolute blast. I can't think of anything else I'd rather do. Seriously, this is going to seriously halter the fun of using vehicles in multiplayer. With absolutely no solidity or security in actually owning the vehicle you control. No one will ever try to run someone over bc they can dodge, and then as you go to turn back towards them, bam, you lose your seat. Doesn't sound like a good feature to me, and I really hope there's an option to turn it off. However, even if there is, I know that everyone else hosting games on Xbox live will leave it on, so it will still be there. I hope Bungie can really do something to fix this, bc it sounds like it could ruin one of the best aspects of the game... the Vehicular combat.

It is in an article on the web somewere it talks about how you have to get the timings just ride and how it only works when the vehicle is going slow or stopped.

i dont think it will suck, i mean yeah the whole fighing over a vehicle will suck, but i dont think its gonna be that easy, and if your playin with respectable players then you would fight like 2 yr olds over the -blam!-

In fact they say that it is really hard to do and takes almost exact timing to pull it off, so lets have a little faith in bungie they didn't lets us down with halo 1 why would they lets us down with halo2 they are great game developers and I am sure they will keep it balanced. So take a deep breath and relax!!!

I think it's safe to say that none of us have played Halo 2 yet. All we have right now is a couple of articles trying to desctibe the entire game to us. Don't just beleive what you hear, you have to test things out yourself before you say they'll fail. So be patient, after we all play Halo 2 then you'll have the ability to really decide what is good and bad.

you know what mister
SHUT THE -blam!- UP!!!!
IM SICK OF YOU CRITICIZING A GAME YOU HAVNET PLAYED!!!
And anyways that was the first time they have played
ITS GOING TO TAKE NEW STRATEGIES
ITS A SEQUAL therefore not everything is going to be the same
Perhaps a new strategy will be not to sit still so someone can jack you
or
to keep moving after running at a person and then after being at a safe distance
turn back and have at em!

Okay guys, all you have to do is be near a vehicle and press x. go to http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/482/482228/vids_1.html and look at the newest video. A ghost is strafing at full speed and a guy takes it over.

quit complaining, if you don't like it, then don't drive it.. if it really bothers you, don't buy HALO 2 and stick to your HALO 1.

Calm down, that wasn't needed. If you disagree with someone do it without profanity, at least. That flame post just made you look immature.
