In the bulletin yesterday I noticed one achievement that said to hijack a Wraith and kill other Wraiths with it.
It might just mean to kill the driver and get in, but it’s also possible that we now have the ability to board a Wraith and get in instead of destroying it. I think it would be nice to have the option to do both. Thoughts?
We have been able to hijack Wraiths, kill the driver and steal it since Halo 2. Reach made it really easy because you could jump onto the Wraith’s turret and the driver would automatically get out to attack you. Although I don’t think they would get out in higher difficulties. Either way, boarding and stealing Wraiths is not even close to being new.
I like how it is in Halo 3 and Reach, it’s kind of an extra challenge to get on the wraith and kill the driver instead of just hijacking it like a ghost.

Honestly, I’ve never seen a Wraith be hijacked before… Only destroyed when boarded…
I feel stupid now…

One thing you can do is stand on top of it and melee the door off, (don’t board it just stand on top and punch). Once the door is off shoot the guy in the head until he dies.

Still, I just find it weird that in 5 years of Halo not once have I seen a Wraith (or Scorpion for that matter) be hijacked. I guess people just don’t take the trouble of jumping onto it, especially when there’s a guy in the turret?
One thing is for certain. If the hatch is broken off, I should be able to exit the Wraith when boarded and vice versa (at least in campaign).
I hated being trapped in that worthless piece of crap in Reach.
#1: going up to a wall and blasting myself with Wraith mortar is a great big risk thanks to vehicle health
#2: Reach Elites have insane melee speed once they get on
#3: the Reach Wraith is a huge and easy target for plasma pistol overcharge spam
#4: enemy Wraiths do nothing without a gunner. It’s pathetic. They only get out when you get in the turret
You could always steal wraiths if you did it right.
Okay from what I’m hearing you seem to be talking about hijacking the wraiths in multiplayer. No one hijacks a wraith during mulitplayer because it takes to much time and you would be a target for a lot of people. It’s just quicker and easier to simply blow the wraith up in multiplayer.
I smiled at this thread sorry op.

You’ve never seen a Wraith get hijacked in Halo 2-Reach?(If youve played any of those) I admit they are dangerous creatures,But are loyal wants you tame them.
Stupid poll, we’ve been able to hijack wraiths since H2, and if there’s an achievement for doing it it’s clearly in the game.
