Im not sure if this would be to fun or not... but whenever you board a warthog it should stay in first person, and you use the d-pad to swap from one spot (gunner, driver, passenger) to the other, and you can press X to throw the person out, B to punch him, R to shoot him, or L to throw a gernade at him (A would jump off ). Heres where I think it gets cool. The driver should be able to click the left stick down and go into first person (warthog keeps going straight) and he would pull out his gun and could try to get rid of the border. Also he could pull the e-brake and rip the wheel and roll the hog on top of him. Imagine for single vehicles like the banshee you board it (say from the bottom) where he cant see you and you can just sit and hang on.... and when the timing is right, perform any of these things. If the vehicles had more spot specific damage (gravity pods on banshee shot out = crazy banshee) then you could to cooler stuff, but there should always be a way to counterat it.
A cool thing about vehicle to vehicle boarding would be if you jump out of your vehicle and board another, you could do cool stuff like warthog swapping with the flag, like if a rocket was about to hit your hog, bail to the friendly hog right next to you and board it and hop in the passenger seat.
While I'm talking about cool ideas, imagine having a cable gun. It could rapple you up to high places and let you travel faster, but imagine being able to shoot it at a vehicle, grab on, the pull urself up indie style. Or shoot a vehicle, then attach the other side to a rock and watch the vehicle rip itself in half. Imagine shooting it from the side seat of a warthog at a banshee, then jumping out of the warthog and climbing up and boarding the banshee, very cool.
That would be cool, but it'd never happen. Maybe it'd work in a different game.
