For example:
I’m on the back of a mongoose we wanna make the jump and i can jetpack so the back goes up a bit. not like you can fly on a mongoose but that it gives you a little floating effect like the ghost has.
Or you use Thruster pack giving it a more like ghost/banshee boost like effect.
Now this wont work in like the side seat of a warthog but it will work for some vehicles where you can sit on the back or sideseat.
Not useable while being the driver.
Another example: you can use camo in the side seat. you rush a base see 2 guys or mayb a solo guy driving a warthog u think you can get a easy kill and out of nowhere this camo dude pops up.
Or in the side seat you can pop like the turret and on the spot where u press it and it will stay there.
Cuz i remember back in halo3 when i was on the back of a mongoose and i had a bubble shield or grav lift with me it gave us so much more fun and option to play the game… its a small thing that can make alot of diffirence.
Any like this idea or remember that u could do similiar things…
All I can imagine is a person on the back of a mongoose with a hardlight sheild deflecting tank and mantis shells.
That would be awesome if you ask me.
I don’t see any real negative effects to this so long as you can only use these things in passenger seats, and it would give mongooses and hogs a little more incentive for use.
> I’d rather not
Any specific reason? I can’t seem to see how this would damage multiplayer. Rather it seems like it might enhance it.
If we’re going to have to deal with AA’s, might as well put them to positive use.

Exactly like u said with the hardlight shield.
Now you wont protect the driver if ur in a mongoose but you can still protect the back and sides…
Same goes for in a warthog you can defend the side from a plasma pistol or whatever. Makes vehicles have a more chance of not dying so fast…
They did it in halo3 but for some reason they didnt let us in halo 4…
Using armor lock to make the physics go crazy while riding a mongoose.
…
I would like that. Especially if you could use AAs in a warthog. Imagine waiting for enemies to pick up a warthog, then suddenly decloak, throw a plasma grenade and laugh maniacly as the enemies explode.

I think it all comes down to how balanced it is, if it’s completely broken, no, but maybe being able to Thruster Pack out a vehicle would be fun
Maybe make it so that you need to apply your equipment/AA to the vehicle before driving. Either way I don’t really know how this would work for Multiplayer outside of Customs.
Also, I think there’s already a glitch in Halo 4 where you can drive a Warthog while using a Jetpack.

Yeah i realy like that last part…
i can already see it happen LOL
Use Jetpack or thruster pack as an ejector seat?

True, but I don’t think any of the given armor abilities would be too unbalanced, if at all.
> Use Jetpack or thruster pack as an ejector seat?
but then you cant use it for other things if u fly out right away wouldnt make it very usefull and i heard about that new specialization that throws u out the vehicle so i think theres no need for it.
would you be able to use certain ones while hacking vehicles like; Scorpions and wraiths
AA need to to go, and Equipment return.
I’ve always thought that the ability to use AAs in vehicles would be pretty cool for Custom Games and Forge.
No.
But I do miss being able to use camo while in a vehicle (was in H3 Campaign). In H2, you had to use camo before getting in a vehicle. And IIRC, in H1, camo was not effective in vehicles.
I’d support this only for Custom Games, not in matchmaking.
lemme think of some ways this could go with current AAs 
Thruster pack can make Mongeese do barrel rolls Mid-air (+10 style points)
Cammo can be used pretty creatively. The enemy sees a Gunnerless Hog Drive by, and someone Hops into a ghost hoping for an easy kill… NOPE! a gunner pops out of cammo and lights up the Ghost… ded
or
A mere mongoose drives by a Tank, but doesn’t come close… no biggy, the tank ignores it as it doesn’t pose a threat… NOPE! a rider uncloaks and pulls out a rocket launcher and blows up the tank
Hardlight can be sused to protect Warthogs and 'Gooses from projectiles (useful considering how broken the Current Vehicle combat system is).
AutoSentry can be used to drop Sentries on-the-run to pester enemies
Yes, so we can all cloak and camp with our tanks, and make decoys of ghosts ramming into enemies. Might as well add in jetpacks so we can spam smash enemies below.
> AA need to to go, and Equipment return.
no. we should have both or none.

The driver of the tank cant use it but the gunner can…
