Subject: Drivers and pilots: Where are you?

Picture this:
It's the start of a BTB game on the spire, and you head straight for the pilot seat of the Falcon, but some other guy on your team gets there first. You think 'Okay, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and see how it goes'.
You get in the turret, and the falcon takes off. For some reason your pilot thinks that every single rock needs to be smashed by the falcon on your journey around the map, and he cares little about angling you up nicely for kills. Your other gunner gets shot out, and he moves down to pick up another, splattering him in the process because he can't land gently. You take off again then BOOM! Rocket to the face. No kills.

That goes for Warthogs too, good pilots and drivers in Reach are few and far between, and as the specialist pilot/driver in my team, that concerns me. I managed to get two of my team mates perfections while piloting a falcon on the spire, while getting about 40 wheelman medals myself.

So I ask you, drivers and pilots, where are you when we need you?
Rate yourself out of 10 for driving and piloting, and comment on your stories of success, or other's failures.

TL;DR Where are all the good pilots in Reach?

In Invasion slayer on Spire I took my falcon and blocked the enemy falcon and sank it down to the bottom and then the guy got borded.

I get in the falcon or warthog wait a second for someone to get in, no one. Drive around to teammates too try and get someone to gun, nothing. Very rarely does someone get in as a driver or gunner anymore.

I'd rather rush the Sniper. :)

10/10 these Wheelman medals don't lie

If you suck at piloting and driving you need to read these.

That's good, you clearly know what you're talking about. This game needs more people like you.

Lol, people actually using the Falcon.


On topic though, I make a better pilot than passenger. I know when stuff's getting too hairy, I know when I or my passenger could die if we stay too long. Generally I'm the best at warthog driving and wraith driving.

I'm too defensive though, Reach's cardboard vehicles irritate me. I'll usually sit back with the wraith and bombard an area with enemy team members or guard our objective. And, when it comes to warthogs, if I ever do get to use one or get a competent gunner, I can last for a long time until I get a frag stuck to me or the anti everything gun finds it's sights on us.

I learned a long time ago to never let anyone drive anything with me in it, ever.

I am proficient with all vehicles.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

1. I don't trust any drivers or pilots in Reach that aren't in a party with me.
2. Self-ratings:
Driver: 10/10
Pilot: 8-9/10
I know it sounds a bit egotistic, but I'm actually good in taking people where they need to go, or just drive someone in a turret.

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

Warthog Driver- 7/10

Meh, I don't play BTB much anymore, and when I do I hardly ever drive. If I'm in a party, I'll gun sometimes because I know some really good drivers.

You suck so much bro, just sell the game dude.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

I don't get in a vehicle unless im doing one of the following:

A. Driving said vehicle

B. Being driven by an actual friend.

I don't trust randoms.

  • 03.28.2012 12:41 PM PDT

Pilot 10/10
Driver 10/10

I'm the best at both.

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

Driver: 7/10

I'm nothing special, but I know how to handle the vehicle I'm piloting.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Driver? 9/10
Pilot? 8/10

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Probably 100 times a better pilot than a driver

  • 03.28.2012 1:47 PM PDT

Industrial Strength , No Brain Required.

Self rating:

Pilot: 5/10
Driver: 8/10

I prefer warthog than any other vehicle.

Also I can sum up what OP said: if don't know how to rock it, then let it to others.

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

My driving sucks.

I'm still probably only a 4-5 in the Banshee even though I kick ass with the Falcon. I just don't get how people like Gamesager rack up those incredible sprees and multikills.
