And dont forget multiplayer on Live! Driver sees a rocket coming to the vehicle and dives out without a word to his crew. He'd look like a chicken yanno?

<wouldn't falling out of your vehicle on purpose be cool? I think that making rockets targetting completely useless is a good idea!>


i did not say that you dumbass it's not like i said to be able to dive out and have your warthog have a lockon warning. that would be kinda stupid and defeat the point of targeting. you know there are times when you don't know you are ketting locked on by a rocket launcher and still blow up

and to answer RKs Meatballs thing, i dunno what you do in capture the flag or where you look but i tend to notice a warthog driving towards me when i'm defending especially on an open map like burial mounds and i prepare myself. anyway getting back in still takes time

sorry for my comment, but it does seem like it sorta nulifies rocket targetting. However, if you reversed your idea and you were able to dive INTO the warthog.

Like, while it was moving, you could dive into the back, and then a scripted sequence makes you move to your position. That would make it so that a warthog could drive through an area, pick up 2 passengers quickly, and extract them double time.

This would make capturing the flag, rescue ops, and general attack runs more efficient! =D

Or maybe he'd look smart or a total tool. anyway ususally xbox live comes with a head communicator thing s he could say rocket and everyone would be happy

you can basically do that allready, it just needs heaps of skill. i've seen someone jump out of a banshee, the banshee explde from a direct rocket launcher hit and they fell down as a warthog was driving by and grabbed on the empty gunner's place and the guy kept on drivin.

i cursed myself for a week for not recording that. it looked so cool, but was completely flukey

Also it makes boarding less effective. If you board the warthog and start beating on the driver, they could escape instantly without any penalty, leaving you clinging onto an empty hog like a prat waiting to die.

*Mouth drops*

First, yes I so wish you had recorded that

Secondly, who the hell can do stuff like that? And was it even planned lol!

that was a complete and utter fluke, he was also pretty jigh up so he had about 3 sec to plan his landing. if it wasn't a fluke then that person has earned my respect

i thought you just threw the people out of the warthod and bashed the people in the wraith only and anyway you can jump off when the guy boarded jumps off.

No, when you board the drivers side, you hang on to the warthog and melee the driver. This function would be rendered useless by your diving out idea.

I'm not so sure anout the 'makes capturing the flag too easy' comment. You know that if a guy rides on top of the warthog (like surfing) he can pick up the flag without the hog needing to slow down at all?

To be honest I can't see anyone being able to jump out of the driver/passenger seat of a 'hog. The rollbars get in the way. Ghosts, yup fine. I can see that happening. Spectre and hog turrets, fine as well, though not necessarily needed, as you can already jump out when moving at full speed.

Limited usefulness as it is still very possible to avoid rockets in hogs and, to a lesser extent Ghosts. It does have that 'coolness' factor going for it. But only really applicable Ghosts IMO.

but you can still jump off by pressing A ... i think and that way you would stop the warthog and then a gunfight between the two would start just as normal

i find it easier to dodge with the ghosts and there isn't much of a roll cage on the warthog, mostly a thick bar in the middle, anyway MC could put one foot on the seat, and push himself off with the other on the centre of the warthog and do a mad dive

No i could see this working. I mean Imagine you have the little sequence of someone bording you on the warthog and insted of getting smacked in the face you dive out and spear them off the car. Then both people could lose like a half of their shield from the landing and then there would be a quick paced gun fight with the winner getting the warthog or (for you necrofeliacts) giveing a good old tea bag

no!
just out-run the rocket. i like to think the only thing i am good at in Halo 2 was drving a Hog. it was why i played, that and Arbi( i love him so much.)
if a rocket is chasing you and you get out, you are going to have to be some distance away from the hog to not get killed anyway.

Furthermore if you see a rocket comming and you are driving, turn and let the rocket hit the passenger. the driver doesnt normal get killed

Marine: CHEIf! WE'RE GONNA CRASH ! QUICK DiVE OUT OF THIS WARTHOG WHICH IS TRAVELLING AT SUPER FAST SPEED!

CHeif: Ok!

Chief: *smashes on a rock and dies*

I like this idea, but it would take a lot of tweaking on Bungie's behalf to keep this balanced.

first of all the warthod doesn't move super fast, nowhere close to the speed of a boosting ghost / banshee, and it's a super armoured, shielded and augmented supersoldier not some dumb punk in a t-shirt and shorts
