Am I the only one who see a problem with this new Armor mod called SURVIVOR? it ejects you when your vehicle gets blown up??? come on… there goes the sense of accomplishment when take out a vehicle single handedly… or if a vehicle to vehicle fight…
Great… way to go Halo, your only my favorite original game ever… so why the need to turn it into Call of Duty and now with this new SURVIVOR thing I’m gunna call it Battlefield. because in that game you can just pop outa vehicles without actualy getting in/outa them… LAME!!! I’ve been with halo from the start… your dropin the ball 343
Hopefully it doesn’t stop hijack explosions, and yes, few people like it.
I like it. I also don’t see the problem with it.
Im neutral since it may stop people getting kills however it makes normal gunfire at vehicles not worthy of getting a kill thus promoting picking up the splazer etc. instead of spamming it with BR, LR or DMR.
Only people with the mod on will eject, others will stay in the vehicle so you can have a chance, also when the vehicle explodes it still counts to the vehicle destroyer commendations
I actually find it pretty cool, however, I’m curious on how you eject from the vehicle, b/c its not like, “Abandon Ship or Plane, and jump out with a parachute”. Like if you think about it, when you eject, do you get launched upward or outward (By this, Im refering to Mantis, Scorpion, Banshee, and Wraith. Basically vehicles that take long to enter and exit.
The way its described was youre ejected before its about to explode so I think that means you get ejected when the vehicle is on fire and only a couple more shots would make it go. So I dont think its necessarily meaning that you can escape it as its exploding.
Yes because, since the advent of the pp/sticky loudouts, vehicle explosions have been happening left and right!
I’m worried this will stop my pulse grenade kills on gauss hogs.

Chill, you’ll have plenty of other chances to kill someone with the pulse nads. It’s way easier to kill someone with pulse nads in 4v4 slayer.
Remember, you start with one every single time you die!
I cant wait to eject someone out of the Banshee over the ocean on Longbow.
I can see ejection kills becoming an awesome montage.

How do you know? I would think that it wouldn’t count because you’re really only destroying an empty vehicle at that point. It only counts if you destroy the vehicle and the person in it too.
I see this as an attempt to help make vehicles more attractive to use. Maybe Warthogs won’t be abandoned at base as much.
Also, we still don’t actually know how Survivor works. It might be a good idea to save the Yoinking till we know it’s validated.

Because its using common sense that the one with the mod will be the only one to eject since the others dont have the mod. Destroying a vehicle moments after it being occupied still counts towards a destroy.
I will need this when I’m driving in circles in a Mongoose.
I set up a party every now and again just to do this.
I call this move derping on the battlefield.

What about vehicles that only have one person? Mainly the Scorpion and Wraith which only occasionally have two people in them probably wouldn’t count because you don’t actually kill anyone.

Good point. I doubt Survivor will save you from Rockets or the Spartan Laser; especially the Spartan Laser.
I’m wondering how many people will actually use Survivor… I normally go into BTB with Wheelman and Gunner (which works wonders on the Mantis) hoping that my vehicle WON’T get blown up. Survivor seems like a waste of an armor mod to me…

The occupant with the mod will be the only one to eject which makes COMMON SENSE. If the vehicle only has one user then they will eject.
If you destroy a vehicle say 1-2 seconds after someone left it on the other team you get a destroy medal occasionally.

I didn’t actually know that. I guess that makes it a bit better. It will probably take some time to understand exactly how and when the mod works, though.

It works like this for example.
A full warthog is very badly damaged. They get hit with more fire but not enough to destroy it.
The driver has survivor and ejects since its about to explode (he has no control over this I believe) the other two stay in and die with the hog when it explodes. The guy with survivor makes a lucky escape (he will be then more than likely shot to pieces though after)
This could lead to player ejecting at the wrong moment to where they wold of thus making for some awkward deaths however if they didnt they may of died.
