I thought that it would be nice if you could switch seats in a vehicle such as the warthog by pressing Y. Upon pressing the Y button you can toggle between any seats that are not occupied instead of having to hop out and back in to switch seats.

Stupid idea, how are people suppose to snipe other people out of warthogs? When they are teleportining between seats?


Much like you can snipe someone who is boarding a vehicle in Halo 2. I dont think he meant you would teleport a la Star Trek from seat to seat.

Still Buddy then that defeats the purpose of having passenger seats and then if you don't have to get out to change seats hoo needs a passenger seat?

  • 07.19.2006 1:13 PM PDT

how do you propose to switch weapons if you press Y to change seats?

Would be cool, only if it took as long to swichseats as it id to board a ghost or a little bit longer depending on what seat. Better yet, make it only swichable to gunner and driver seats. That way if the driver dies, the passanger can switch to drive, and if the gunner dies the passanger can swich to the gunner.

Tap vs Hold. Just like relaoding.

There is still the gunner position.

A passenger seat is for a passenger. (Someone who is not driving)
An example of my idea. Lets say you are in the passenger seat of a warthog and then. BAM! Your driver is sniped. I think it would be nice if you could just click Y to change over to the drivers seat and keep driving

Well you know how that would go don't you? Everyone would be pissed because you keep switching seats. Also don't you use the "Y" button in the side seat to change your weapon?

Why would they be pissed. You can only switch to open seats

omg whatsup with people thinking halo can teleport... you all know theres gonna be an animation, him hopping over the back would be a nice thing to look at... passenger jumping over the middle into driver... gunner kneeling undeer the turret into driver seat... of course drivers can move too.

I think this is nice idea... Snipers will get used to the animations too, having the animations fast thought may ruin it... imagine guys, halo 3 with a stupid glitch like that is dumb

Good idea, if they use the animations. Those people were idiots to think that MC would just teleport

ya but how will the chief switch. Its not like star wars where you magically switch without getting out of the vehicle dude. This wouldnt work.

  • 07.19.2006 2:24 PM PDT

If you can only switch seats while the vehicle is not in motion then why not just get in the other seat in the first place? Sure he's Master Chief, but come on, just jumping across into the other seat seems pointless.

Lets say you are in the passenger seat, and the driver is sniped, the vehicle will stop and then you press Y activating an animation and putting you in the drivers seat. Or if your in the drivers seat and you see a ghost in front of you, you can stop the warthog and press Y activating the animation and putting you in the gunner seat to destroy the ghost. It's not that difficult

As long as there is a decently timed animation (chief stands up, grabs bar separating gunner/driver or passenger/driver, jumps over, sits down), where the person is exposed for at least 4 seconds, it'd be fine.

And it would have to be only from an occupied passenger/gunner seat to the driver seat, as having people switch in different combos would be confusing to implement.

Otherwise it seems like an okay idea.

People just don't zoom to different spots in a car. It's more real to get out and move yourself.

in real life it's kinda slow to jump over the gear shift in the center and into the other seat, unless if you practice, it'd be stupid if you could just switch seats with the press of a button because it would either be uselessly slow or unrealistically fast. I would prefer it if they gave you the ability to order specific marines into specific seats (so that you'll always have a rocket guy in the passenger or whatever)
