Not sure if this has been mentioned. Sorry if so, but I'm wondering if you would have any defense against enemy vehicle boarders. I know braking and running in the walls and just plain old dodging the enemy might help, but, could you pull out a pistol and shoot back, or do something else? Just a question, because it would sort of suck if you couldn't do anything to stop the enemy from kicking you off your own vehicle. Oh well, that's my opinion. What's your opinions?

i dunno, i think not, because it is hard to board, but people will perfect it, after many hours of play

Use what the creotors of the vehicles gave you, guns on the vehicles. But ya if you have a ONE handed weapon you should be able to shoot back.

That would be cool, the part about hitting the wall. Somebody jumps onto your vehicle only to be splattered on the wall like a fly on a windshield. Of course, boarding doesn't always kick the driver out. You can board any part of the warthog, so somebody can board the gunner seat and start shooting people, even if their enemy is still driving. This will be good for when two guys make an alliance for a while in Slayer. Or for when you are just screwing around and flipping vehicles and one guy doesn't want to walk all the way to the other side of the level.

The whole vehicle boarding thing is a little sketchy for me... i just hope they pull it off right, cause this ain't no GTA!

Or, in the words of Sarge, "THIS AIN'T NO ICE CREAM SOCIAL!!"

thats a good question
i spose what they should do is... if the driver of the vechile makes a sharp turn or slams on the brakes the boarder should just get catapulted off

for the boarder they should have some type of controls were you have to control your balance or you will fall off

The perfect defense against boarding is not giving the enemy the chace to.

I think if you've been thrown from a vehicle it might be pretty easy to return the favor. It must be going slow enough if you just got kicked from it.

the best way to defent yourself is to shoot their asses while they try. the ghost has boost for a reason.!

Question: If there r 3 people in the 'hog when u try to board it what will happen to them?will they just be forced to jump out?

-S

The only defense against boarding is to not allow someone to board you. If your vehicle is boarded, you're losing the vehicle.

Question: If there r 3 people in the 'hog when u try to board it what will happen to them?will they just be forced to jump out?

Nope, only the guy you kick out will be forced out of the hog. In fact, if you board a hog from the passenger side, you'll jump into the passenger seat- regardless of who's driving!

Well it would still be cool to crush the jacker by ramming the side of the vehicle into a wall or something.

I think it would be cheap to be able to shoot someone or punch them out or whatever because then that defeats the purpose of boarding. When someone is boarding and you start shootin at them inside the driver seat then you automaticlly win. No contest. Its hard enough to board already even without the defend thing. Just boost if your in a Ghost or have your gunner shoot him off if your in a Worthog. As simple as that.

Uh...I'm having problems with this, My tactic was freaking drive in circle like a maniac until I run everybody over. Being Boarded will practically castrate me. I'd hate to have to rely on someone else. What I would like, is if you could boost the Warthog, and shoot up into the clouds, and then you get to meet a fairy princess who kills all Covenant with her unnearthly visage. That would be cool... No doubt. Or if you could THROW GRENADES ON YOURSELF IN THE VEHICLE! You can't lose!
