I think it is an interesting idea, but will be very hard to impliment. If you have a vehicle, what is the point of capturing another? I like the warthog one where the pretty helpless passenger can jump out onto another vehicle, but it is pretty much already possible. Just jump out, and then board.

The point of the banshee would be that you now have one, and your opponent does not. But wait. Both guys would then be trying to hijack each other. They would just switch banshees.

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.

What I would like to see is, the passenger of one 'Hog jumps onto the hood of an enemy hog, smashes the window, and can either melee the driver, or rip him out through the smashed windshield.

That would be cool, but it'd never happen. Maybe it'd work in a different game.

How about Hi-jacking 2.0 where you can choose to knock them out, or pump there face full of SMG/PLASMA/PISTOL fire.

Homerun!

WAY TO CONTROLL

Gret Idea! The only problem is it would be hard to make it work very well.

Anyway I got an Idea of a way to make this work. If I remember right, the ''Y'' button isn't used in anyway while driving an vehichle. So the the Y button could be used for climbing out of the seat, but still crawl on top of the vehichle (if you're the driver the vehichle doesn't stop. it keeps on rolling forwards aoutomaticly). From here you can jump of the vehichle with A, and try to get on top of an other vehichle. If you got up as the gunner or suthin, on an enemy controlled hog, you could step out and crawl forward to the driver. Then you could simply beat him dow with B, or kick him out and jump in his place with X. It would also be cool if you could stick grenades on the boarded vehicles, and blow 'em up.

If the pelican will be an option you could crawl around on its outsides, and toss a plasma-grenade into the insides of it.

i know this is slightly off topic but wouldnt it be cool if you could use one of the unused buttons to enable the passenger of the hog / spectre to get out of the seat, hang off the edge of the hog / spectre and grab the flag in CTF?

No doubt a dumb idea

why would you want to trade your vehicle for someone elses? the point of boarding is to get an advantage... they will just get in the fallen banchee you left and its back to normal again...it would be a cool feature for a passenger to do it to a warthog though..
