Do you ever initiate a sort of "scorched earth policy" in Reach big team? I was wondering because when I'm in any vehicle in Big Team Battle, I just love to destroy the enemy's unoccupied vehicles. No banshees, no ghosts, no mongooses. I like to make sure nothing remains of anything which may be of use to the enemy.

So, do you ever try this?

EDIT: And oh yes, emptying power weapons of ammo if you cannot hold it :)

I'll make sure that the more destructive vehicles like the Banshee and Tank are close to being destroyed. Then I wait for someone to try and use it. Most smarter players will go ahead and destroy it anyway and wait for it to respawn, but often some guy who hardly gets to use it will jump in it, at which point he dies immediately, destroying the vehicle and earning the team a kill.

I usually only do this when my tank is for sure going to be jacked, so I get out and do as much damage as possible to it or drive it off a cliff.

Or when I kill an enemy sniper I take it and empty it, then leave it on me to delay respawn. I'm not a sniper, my teammates are always bad, so it'll likely end up in enemy hands in no time. The same goes with rockets too, except I use the rockets without wasting them.

Use the sniper; you honestly cannot be worse than the typical randumbs
