would'n it be cool if you could dive out of your warthog, ghost, spectre, whatever. I mean don't you just hate seeing a rocket fly towards you, locked on and you press to get out but by the time you're back to first person view the rocket hits and you die. It would be so cool if when you tapped x over and over again fast master chief just dives out of the warthog, does a comand roll and pulls his gun out while doging the missile

did you forget that there's no fall damage in halo 2 and probably wown't be any in halo 3 either, anyway the warthogs don't even get 50 and hour. Master Chief has his super strong armour and shields anyway. For anyone else, in realistic places it would be imposiible but let's not forget this is a video game we're talking about . And anyway other that ghosts, warthogs and maybe specters you can't dive out fast because they're covered and it takes time to open the vehicle up. anyway the point of diving out is to dodge a rocket. u can flip with a banshee remember,

In the First Strike the team of Spartans sent to defend the orbital MAC gun generaters on Reach dive out of a Pelican going at terminal velocity through Reach's atmoshpere and survive. I think Chief would be able to survive diving out a warthog going at 100 mph. And i think this is a good idea.

Ah how I have wished for this since the release of Halo 2. I thought pretty much exactly what you said, except my idea was instead of tapping X, you just have to hold it like normal but you MC will only do the dive out if a rocket is locked on to your car.

you used to be able to almost do this in halo 1. The vehicle would continue rolling on and you could use it to distract foes/ throw them off to your location, or ram a barrier while you were already out. In halo 2 they made it so you yourslef will go flying forwards (WTF?).

So I won't answer your poll as I'd rather just see a third option of using the older vehicle physics and play than just adding a jump out and vehicle continue moving feature.

Quae caret ora cruore nostro?
P.S. I love you.

That would be great!!! But why stop there, wouldn’t it be kool if we could dive to the side when a sword guy lunges at you, I cant count the number of times iv been killed be a sword and wished I hadn’t been. or if I see a sticky grenade heading for me I could role and avoid it, that would be awesome.
Whoever said yes in the poll please answer me this. What is the point of a rocket launcher that locks on and destroys the vehicle but doesn’t kill the driver? In real life if I shoot a rocket at your car travelling at 40mph would you be able to do a stupid roll out of it and not be killed. Answer: NO! This it a first person shooter not a bloody gymnastics competition..

so you're telling me that you never pressed X greantically to get out of a warthog as a rocket flies toward you and sworn when you dies becasue master chief took soooo long to get out. anyway the banshee can dodge why can't you dive out of the warthog?

and anyway to doge a sword attack you use a shotgun or a plasma grenade. at that short range you can't miss as for the plasma grenade it's called moving away from it.

ok but keep in mind that you are a spartan and can withstand that battering, anyway if you wanna keep the realism then maybe half of your shield goes away as you do this

Dark Jester 86 is the Gamer tag.

Diving out might not work right. How would you just tap X or A or whatever and expect to fly out of a vehicle. How about boarding other vehicles from your vehicle? My point is it would take like 3 seconds, as that rocket is coming to you, to get into position, crease your legs, and then in your heavy MJOLNIR Mark 6 or whatever, jump at a safe distance from that exploding warthog. How would youdiveout of a Wraith? You'd go up? How would you dive out of a Spectre? Open the Hatch, crease your legs, then SKABLAM! You're dead. Just fall out of the Banshee there's nothing wrong with that, unless you want to jump though the banshee into a dive position. The only things that you'd be able to successfully (If that) dive out of, is the Warthog's Passenger and driver seat and a Ghost. I just don't honestly see it, sorry.

first of all MC doesn't feel his armour, it actually strengthens him and speeds up his reaction time
second i said that it would be pointless to do this in a banshee, wraith, scorpion or any other covered cehicle, as for the spectre maybe only the passengers and the gunner can do that
and anyway if the vehicle is gonna get blown up who cares about opning it nicely, if MC can flip a warthog he cam pretty well rip the driver thing off the spectre

it will add A LOT to the game if you could "throw" vehicles on you enemies in this way.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Now, I don't think this is something you as the player should do, but say you stick a ghost with a high ranking Elite in it, I'd love to see him do a backflip out of the ghost and land, ready to fight you.

While this is different, I always thought it would rock if zealots with a sword kept their sword out when in a ghost, like a horseman with his blade, so if you try to board him he slashes you and you fall off, making him (or her for that matter) more of a challenge, perhaps youd need to take him by surprise?

Again another thing would be that if an AI flips his vehicle, there should be an animation for it, and I don't know aout this one but if marines flip their warthog, all three of them team up to flip it back over again

Do none of you have a sense of humour?
We do, this just isn't funny.

i think that is a crappy idea.

WHy change something when you no that it is balanced and almost perfect. Might aswell just tweak whats already there to make it perfect.

they upset the balance by putting lock-on for the rocket launcher anyway, this is a way of evening the odds. For example the ghost can boost out of the way of the rockets, the banshee can do flips but it still takes 3 months for MC to get out of the warthog

Makes it too easy to capture the flag. Think about it.

how? i mean the hard part is getting the flag jn the first place, diving out of your vehicle would help a litle but in the end either the rocket blows your vehicle up leaving you stranded or you have the enemy trying to kill you.

No. I'm talking about driving into the base. If you could dive out of the warthog, you'd be able to drive fast into the base, dive from the hog and pick up the flag before anyone can stop you. Currently, the delay in getting out of the hog makes this impossible. If you could dive out of the hog on Burial mounds, you'd get that flag out of the base no worries every time (assuming you control the rockets.)

This is kinda off topic, but if you play a CTF map on blood gulch, have a teamate drive as fast as they can towards the base while you're in the gunner. turn 180 degrees from the front of the vehicle, press x to get out, and continually press A while holding the thumbstick in the direction the warthog is going. It ends up being an aerial assault on the base.

Neat!

i like the idea, but you can take damage from the warthog if you have to dive out of the passenger or gunner seat (because the AI marines are too stupid to know what to do when a rocket is coming towards the vehicle, and keep driving at full speed.)
