I agree. I have never really found a good use for it, except when I have a rocket launcher.

I love the side seat. You can be a fast sniper or do drive-by's with the shotgun. My friends even argue about who called shotgun first. It really depends on the situation though.

I've had this idea for a while, and this is the perfict place to discuss it. I think they should give side seat a 3d person view, but keep the 180 degree restriction. It would be so much more useful.

Think about how would the game deal with hitting the people in the vehicle with you. I can just imagine LAN parties with cries of "you -blam- you shot me out of the car!"

I agree with the 3rd person view from the side seat, simple but it makes things much easier. And they're not totally useless, they're great for flag runs.

I think it rocks, because the sense of speed is pretty good. Only disadvantage is that it's very hard to aim... But a third person view would kill the sense of speed IMO, so I don't really like that idea.

I agree with some people. The seat is technically useless and a waste of a rocket or two. The only uses I've found for it are, really funny kills, really quick funny kills, easy and quick deaths, wasted ammo, and shielding the driver. Even so I still jump in alot because its hilariously newb. Kinda like when me and 6 of my teamates on Rainbow Six get 9 teargasses and throw them at the front entrance to our base and run through without masks. (6 * 9 is 54 teargasses for slow people) Conclusion - -blam!- and highly uneffective but fun as hell.

i think we have a very strong point in this post that many people may have missed. If getting into the passenger seat of the warthog wasn't useless enough already with the way it's set up, It's going to be incredibley bad now that vehicle hijacking is in the game. I Mean honestly consider, a guy with a shotgun hijacking the passenger seat, turning to the left, hitting the driver with a point blank range shot to the gut, and tossing a frag/plasma grenade on the floor board while jumping out of the hog to saftey. I hope the gunner is light on his toes as well. Because that's going to be the obvious weakpoint of hijacking warthogs now.

It is half useless to be in passenger side, it is hard to aim and hard to see what's going on. But that's what makes it fun. Maybe they could make it so that you can get a 360 view by standing up in your seat. In this view, it would be easier to aim and you'd have more of a firing vector. Though you would be an easier target and if your warthog went off a bump or jump while you are in this view you would have a chance to fall out.

Side seat rocks, you can play jousting. Simply have two peole in one warthog and two in the other, then drive by eachother and let the person in the side seat try and stick a plasma grenade to the enemys warthog. Fun for hours!

Hey sometimes a foot soldier needs to hitch hike. It realy depends on how many players and what game. In CTF the warthog flag run can use the benefet from an extra person but only as a shock troop not as another gunner.
