I think this would add a significant amount of realism to the game, and also an interesting ride in the passenger seat (assuming 1st person view is brought back.) While it would be possible to drive on only 2 wheels and the other two are grinding steel, you would be a sitting duck to anyone with decent aim. However, I don't think that the tires should be shot out so easily, it should take a couple well-aimed shots. This is similar to the idea of the Ghost. When you hit its fuel cell, the Ghost blows up. However, taking out the tires would only cripple the Warthog. Maybe the gas tank could also be a target. Your thoughts?

Sounds good for single player but not multi unless you can do that to all the vehicles exeplt tanks.

I have mixed thoughts....

shootin out the warthogs tires would be pretty fun.... actually it would be amazingly fun.
instead of getting owned by a warthog cuz ur allies couldnt stop it on the way over to ur base they could just shoot the tires and it would spin out or somethin...

i still think we should be able to fly phantoms and pelicans...

Neat, but a car wont go kaboom if u hit the gas tank with a bullet.

No... this would not only make warthogs MORE useless (locking rockets...)

No.


As he said, and also the fact that the tires are not air inflated to begin with.

Maybe the gas tank idea, but it'd have to be 2-3 shots of a sniper to blow it. The tire thing would suck, since jackasses on your team would blow the tires as they spawned.

Well if they do have air in them, shooting at one and getting a flat tire would be cool. So a sniper could prevent CTF wins very easily. The car could drag, then when two are popped it could stop moving entirely. Still with a working turret though.

Sorry to point this out, but shooting the gas tank with the sniper wouldn't blow up the Warthog. Not even if you used tracer rounds. I say leave the Warthog, it's hard enough to drive and harder to not get mowed down by a rocket. A stick or well placed frag grenade would do the trick nicely.
