There've been many threads where we've all argued about how boarding will work with Warthogs, right? We've all wondered if you can still board a Warthog, even if there's another driver, right? I overlooked this not once, not twice, but three times.

Originally posted by Frankie (via the update [HBO]):
But boarding was a hoot. It makes those close up vehicle skirmishes all the more frightening. If you try to smash another player against a rock wall, there's always a danger he could jump up, board you and kill you with your own ride. We also watched a new phenomenon - the Rocket Hog parasite. Since you can board any part of a vehicle, a red player can board the rocket turret of a Blue-driven Hog. The blue player's only recourse is to abandon the hog, or drive the enemy rocket jerk somewhere he can do less damage - then of course they have to square off against each other. Results can be hilarious.


I haven't read this anywhere else. I apoligize if there was another thread already made, but I did not see it.

For the people who are too lazy to read that quote: you can jack the turret/passenger seat of an enemy-driven Warthog and they can still drive. I'm not sure if you all understand what this means, but I know I do. No longer in single-person Slayer will there be one-manned Warthogs. You can form your own teams in-game. Nice.

Sweet. I alway's thought it was silly that you couldn't get in the other seats.

Well, let's face the evidence that we have:

1.) The account that posted it is, indeed, Frankie's account.
2.) A Subnova member called him just to make sure it wasn't fake.

Now, unless someone broke into both of their accounts, it's real. There's no one to update the page, though. They'll probably have it up on the page tomorrow.

That still doesn't explain the phone call to Frank and him confirming it was truly himself.
