The Hog.
-Jumping from the gunner seat to the driver seat can save you time while being fired at or for times you need to get out of a sticky situation. Turn the gun so that your back is facing the driver seat and exit, then press X again and you should go strait into the driver seat.
-You can use the Hog as cover in different ways. Exiting the hog while its sliding on ice can make for great moving cover. This works to your advantage when you want to continue moving forward but dont want to be shot at and want to be able to shoot back.
-You can get to high places in the game by Hog jumping. If you havent done this before the easyest way is to have a pile of garnades close to a sheld. (You cannot take damage while your sheld is charging) Gather 10-30 garnades in a pile, park the hog on top of the pile, toss a garnade under the hog onto the pile, pick up the sheld, and hope into the passanger side. Your hog will be sent hundreds of feet into the air, and may take you to a high place that would be unreachable by any other methods. (I suggest prcticing in co-op, its easyer to gather and dump garnades)
-There are several places in the game where there is more then one foe standing in place. When traveling at full speed you can slide side ways into groups of enimies. The side of the hog is wider then the front so after some practice you can get pritty good at drifting into jackles taking them out instently.
The Tank.
-Great for bringing down Banchees and transporting men. However it is big, (an easy target)
slow, and does not shoot totaly strate at smaller long range targets. Bail out as soon as you know a sticky garnade is going to land on you. If you wait until its on you, most times its too late.
The banshee.
-When dog fighting, I use only the fuel rods (its just more fun then bringing them down in 5 secs with the regular plasma guns) Once you can use them in multi-player in Halo2 I would suggest using both plasma gun and fuel rod haha. The elites that fly the banshees need some AI, im sorry but they just really suck. This makes it harder for you, and will help your targeting if you shoot them down with just the fuel rods.
-When attaking covinent tanks, move around as much as possable. Use trees, bridges, over hangs as cover from its blast.
-The fuel rod takes 4-5 secs to re-energize, use that time to line up your next shot.
-Do not to "hover" at low hights when being fired at. If you have to hover, do it at 200m.
-Practice the hue of the fuel rod from greater hights to get a feel for lining up shots. As you get better at firing and connecting your shots, try doing it while moving around at lower hights. Remember, it doesnt take much ground fire to bring a bird down.
-Avoid grinding the top of the banshee on things, this is a good way to knock your self out, sending you to your death below.
The Pelican.
-You cannot fly this, however you can fly around in it on Guilty Spark if before you get dropped out you throw a garnade. Press X when your ready to bail out.
Hope this helps, sorry for the spellin, just had my 420 break.
