Can we have the Spartans basic skill back? Understandable that bosses and challenge vehicles cant be hijacked but we can’t hijack a grunt ghost??? Nor a Non-boss Banshee. I full charge plasma pistol an entire power clip into a ghost multiple time yet can not hijack it. tried so many times and no avail. I got together with some friends to take down a banshee with all of us with plasma pistol-ing the hell out of it just to hijack it…no luck. I’m confident that they removed their basic hijack to force ppl to buy more reqs. give us our true spartans back.
Sadly, you can’t do it anymore.
Doesn’t work. You could be standing next to the Elite or Grunt in the Ghost - nothing happens.
What’s bull -Yoink- is that on the tip screen it talks about hijacking vehicles even the phaetons I believe, but yet you can’t do none of that in firefight. You can disable ghosts, wraiths & phaetons with the plasma pistol. But when you try to hijack them it won’t let.
Free vehicles are forbidden with 343. But wait! REQS are on sale at the moment! Save using REAL money…but REQ costs are still at regular price. Hmmm…
Sad Day for the Halo Community. Hijacking is Fun, 343 kills it in firefight.
If Soldiers can hijack my Ghost 50% of the time when I’m going all splatter-city, I should be able to do it back…

You actually can, every time a Promethean Soldier hijacks my Ultra Ghost, I have the option of hijacking him after I respawn (he will usually stay there and not drive anywhere)

Yeah that happened to me on Stormbreak yesterday. Was going ham with splatters using the Rally Scout Hog ('twas Round 1) and a Soldier hijacked me. I was promptly murdered with extreme haste due to the fact that my shields were down and I was between 5,000 other Prometheans. I respawned and assumed the Hog was destroyed by my teammates after that Soldier got his hands on it, but come to find out, he was still in the Hog and just sitting there.
Needless to say, I took my Hog back.
If a teammate’s vehicle has been taken, then it can be hijacked back.
Vehicles that always belonged to the enemy cannot be taken.

Yeah. That’s garbage. They had it right in the beta (to an extent… Losing a round b/c a hijacked phaeton vehicle isn’t destroyed was kinda bs, but I digress).
It’s so bizarre to enforce a double standard that we can take the weapons of the wzff AI opponents, but we CANNOT take the vehicles!
I gotta say I agree with the earlier guys. It’s more about forcing you to spend your own REQs than anything else. Though seriously… What’s the big deal with allowing us to hijack the standard ghosts/banshees!? They’re a dime a dozen in the REQ packs!
No player should play wzff unless they’re at least opening silver packs (FYI, everyone should be skipping bronze. Wink wink.). And if a player has been opening silver packs for more than a couple days, he’s going to have a dozen purple ghosts on hand. It’s not like anyone is going to spend real money to replenish the supply of purple ghosts!
It really is stupid that you can’t hijack the AI’s vehicles, even if to plant a nade on them, it’s ridiculous that 343 won’t even allow non-boss vehicles to be hijacked most of the time. All that I know that you can hijack so far however are the ghosts on Darkstar when you have to kill the 2 knights in the caves and the Phaeton Helmsmen on Sanctum’s wave 4.

That’s not 100% true, actually. There are some shielded Grunts that carry Void’s Tears that aren’t dropped when they’re killed. It’s ridiculous.
Wait you can’t Hijack. What kind of cheese is this!
Actually I have gotten a voids tear from those grunts before but everytime it was at the most 30-40% percent left
