I’m thinking 343 should implement EMP immunity (after being EMPd once) because right now vehicles are pretty much the easiest things to take down now.
At least give us a fighting chance 343.
Problems with the vehicles right now
Too Easy To Hijack
Splinter Grenades EMP (why?)
Plasma Pistol EMP spam renders vehicle useless (cant even use guns)
No Longer Able To Shoot Hijackers Off The Front Of The Vehicle with your own vehicles weapons.
The problem is, if you have a vehicle now you have to play very passively so you spend the majority of the game basically running away from more then three players or at least I do.
I feel like 343 has cattered to noobs too much when it comes to taking down vehicles.
EDIT:
As some people have suggested, a reduction on the EMP period by maybe half a second might help out.
You can still use the gun on a warthog will emped, splinter grenades emp is answered in the lore of the grenades and all in all its to make spartan v vehicle combat fair, not many people will run around with a pp all game they only call one in when they see a vehicle also an emped vehicle doesn’t lock you into it if your stunned jump out and use your gun, lastly emp, hijacks and nading a vehicle has been in how many halos now 343 wasn’t the one starting that trend

So this is a personal problem? As a fellow community member, I’m going to give you some advice. Many problems that we have that we want fixed by others probably won’t get fixed by others, and just as often YOU can be a solution to that problem that is specific only to you.
YOU don’t like getting emped in a vehicle? Play with a team.
YOU can’t find people to play with? Try again, its super easy.

You realize if I jump out, the animation is 3 seconds to dismount from a vehicle, they can just overcharge and noob combo me right?
And yes EMP has been in Halo since H2. But vehicles are just severly underpowered in this game.

My stance still stands, we can just agree to disagree.

You’re just complaining about things that are making the game difficult for you. If I had to bet, I’d say you’re only posting this because you got ambushed in a vehicle earlier today and got emped to death
What if they make EMP last longer, but you can’t be boarded, so yes you can still get killed via rockets etc, just not as quick and hopefully, when you’re sat there in your ONI Scorpion, your allys might be able to kill the attackers and help you out, would promote teamwork, but make 1 Spartan without EMP to take out vehicles alone (which is fine to me)
Reminds of one time using the ultra rare hydra (forget its name), it EMPs vehicles, got a few messages calling me a hacker and i was reported…

Yea of course! I’m all for the discussion, not who’s right or wrong. That’s just the view I have on these types of posts.

Nope, was actually talking to my party members about it. We were talking about EMP spam with the spitfire in warzone, and how this is the only Halo game you haven’t been able to shoot hijackers off your wraith or tank with your own vehicle.
The minute I say something needs to be tweaked on the forums, thats negative or against what the “community” thinks is fair or balanced, I get the 343’s knights baiting and flaming me instead of actually using critical thinking.

The issue with that statement is another fact that vehicles have really REALLY weak armor and can be taken down very fast. one of them needs to change. I think EMPS last a little long, but I’m fine with them existing. Don’t think the splinter grenades should have it tbh.
I think maybe the EMP duration should be slightly reduced, but with Sprint being built into the game its so easy to board and destroy vehicles, especially since I feel the bigger maps are very small and closed together, vehicles don’t get much breathing room
I honestly don’t have too much of a problem with EMP’s, mainly because vehicles are meant to be played in a support role. As someone who does use the plasma pistol a lot to take down vehicles, it is way too easy, even if they get out you can just easily kill them or hop in the vehicle and then you’ll have no choice but to destroy your own vehicle. Even with teammates it’s still way too difficult to hit a boarder and it’s even harder to stop them before they plant a nade.

Yeah something needs to be tweaked. Im thinking EMP duration should be reduced and maybe tweak the Plasma Pistol over heat to last just a second longer and give people a fighting chance.

Seriously? Just because my opinion isn’t against an aspect of the game means that I’m not using critical thinking? Very mature my friend.
My critical thinking is that nerfing the emps would make vehicles too powerful, and the current set up promotes teamwork to be successful.
I respect your opinion, but insulting my intelligence because I’m disagreeing with you is very immature and does nothing but hurt your argument.

yea the splinter grenade seems a pretty over powered with that, I would be okay with that going away.

I jump out all the time they never noob combo me plus vehicle power has actually nothing to do with emp power believe it or not an emp’d vehicle is an emp’d vehicle from mongoose to mantis
Edit: Lets look at it like this, an enemy spawns in a tank if you take a splaser out you get a hit in then the tank kills you or the tank kills you before you even get the shot off, you spawn in a rocket you fire one hits tank fires you’re dead, now you try the cheaper method you have a plasma pistol however theres an emp cooldown now you fire one shot its emped and stunned now due to the cooldown the tank fires at you you’re dead again this time though you did no damage, see what I’m saying emp cooldowns would make emp completely useless because why would you use it when you can at least do damage in that wasted req

Teamwork is not the fix to all your problems, that is not using critical thinking, that is using a blank slate answer. You aren’t thinking about why some people have a problem with the EMP duration or cool down in Halo 5. Instead you just say I’m not using team work or I’m just whining because it happened to me.
Your previous statement was not critical thinking or did not reflect that, all you said I was only complaining because it happened to me.
