Vehicle Hijacking for Reach? Thoughts and/or predictions.
Well, what do you think? I always had a problem with how difficult it is to hijack in Halo 3 multiplayer(especially since you can't technically hijack the mongoose or warthog) and think hijacking should be easier against all land based vehicles. On the flip side of this, I think that there should be a way to defend yourself from the hijacker once you've been boarded. It adds more dynamic to game play and really takes advantage of the feature that was SO HYPED UP for Halo 2 and SO UNDER UTILIZED in Halo 2 and 3. Agree or disagree?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] P3P5I Smart Banshee pilots and Warthog drivers don't go for the splatters.[/quote] I call BS on this. Sure, it's not a good idea to splatter in a warthog, but splattering in a banshee is so easy and efficient that there's no reason not to do it consistently. (Especially if someone just used the power drainer.) Because you can't board someone if they're boosting, there's no downside to attempting a splatter. In h2 you could dodge a splatter and board a banshee or ghost even if it's boosting, if you were skilled enough to time the jump and the board press. In h3, even if you dodge or the banshee misses, you won't be able to board. You just have to try and get to cover before the banshee comes down and tries again. (or just gives up and banshee bombs you.)

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Naqser With sprint, I imagine hijacking some vehicles will be easier, for instance, the Scorpion and the Wraith. Then Jetpack and banshee. I think there'll be some awesome clips. Hijacking is hard, but I'm unsure if it should be easier or not. It shouldn't be harder though.[/quote] You know, I didn't really account for Armor Abilities. Armor Lock, Jetpacking, Active Camo, and Sprint probably will level the playing field as far as Vehicle to Infantry goes. Good Reply :)

When you jack them, you should pull out your knife and cut it through the enemy's throat.

i preferred to hijack on sandtrap because i would jump on top of vehicles i cant wait to use the jetpack to get on top of a tank and plant a grenade and hop off before they knew what hit them
-
The harder it is the more rewarding it is. IIt would feel lame if it were to easy. I like the ieda of a more dynamic hijack tho
-
Hi Jacking is wayyyyyy cool. Really wanna see some jet pack action... I don't think that they should make it much easier or harder . I think halo 3 had it right.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DelusionalLG [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dreezy12 It should be basically the same, right? And I used it every time I got the chance. Banshee steals are the best[/quote] Admittedly I do go for the Hijack if and when possible, but take something like the Ghosts boost ability for example. You go in for the hijack and just get splattered. You'd have to be lucky and get to the vehicle without being noticed every time. I'd just like to see the same kind of balance that is so deliberately applied to the rest of the game. [/quote] That is what armor lock is for.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Soruyao I think you should be able to hijack a vehicle no matter how fast it's going, assuming you're holding the button as it goes by and you don't get splattered. That's how it was in H2. In H3, a smart banshee pilot would NEVER get boarded. You can go in for splatters with impunity as long as you're boosting for all the time you're in boarding range. I think if it were easier to board them, they'd be more likely to be cautious and be real air support, and they would dominate a little less.[/quote] Smart Banshee pilots and Warthog drivers don't go for the splatters.

I think its going to be pretty much the same as Halo 2. But i do hope they remove the stupid "stun" when you get boarded.
-
You should not be allowed to defend yourself, as it defies the point of the hijack. When driving/flying, preventing a hijack is a skill, and if you can stop the hijack, then why would anyone try it?

I think it would be cool to have almost like a Gears of War chainsaw battle style. When someone tries to hijack you, you have to repeatedly tap B or something. This will make it difficult for the driver to control the vehicle and pay attention. It would be cool. Should also have some sort of epic execution kick off -blam!- or something. smash the face on the steering wheel or kick em into a wall. Idk ideas.

I wouldn't mind see extra hi-jack animations. Halo 3's Ghost only has two (front and back), more variations would look hawt. Not sure about making it easier/harder though.

hijacks arent lways supposed to be the best option. some times you just have to keep shooting

press b to melee boarder. Press back to check the score after you die.
