Plain and simple, add one handed steering and one handed shooting while on the mongoose. Only availible with pistoles. Or what ever gets this idea to the game. Lower the control of the mongoose while in this mode to keep it real, turns more tragic, increase of flipability. < i dont know if thats a word but it is now. Please help my idea get heard they never are.

Yeah, I never thought of this. Why can’t we shoot with one hand? Maybe with a pistol or an AR as well

This + motorcyle = me 
If I remember right that’s how it is in GTA too.
I believe the whole point of the Mongoose is a troop transport, and a way to get to another area fast, but I don’t see it being an offensive vehicle.
I liked how the only way to be offensive with the mongoose was with another person, and aiming with that was a bit of a challenge.
So I’d like to disagree on this, even though I don’t see how it would work with aiming and driving at the same time. Not a terrible idea at all, just my preference for the Mongoose to stay as is.
It would be awsome, i feel like i wouldn’t be able to get enough publicity to get this idea out there though COME ON 343! PREASE.
Yeah that was what i was thinking too, but people shouldn’t be rendered hopeless on the things though. I bet if you gave it a shot people would have more fun than complain about it. And thats why i would have it as a button that you can switch on and off from. I mean think about it, you and your friends playin xbox… there’s no jeeps left cause you guys broke them all… but you can both hoo ride on people on a mongoose cause you’re both shooting on the thing xD
i support this i was thinking a ar maybe br equal turret on the front of the goose that you couldnt aim but youd at least have a better chance when your flying solo rather then just splattering
Not at all a fan of this idea. Halo 4 already has a slew of new idea’a and mechanics. Just because you now know you can carry a flag and hold a sidearm doesn’t mean you should let your imagination soar to new heights such as being able to drive one handed.

I didnt even know you could do that, I’ve been thinking about this from day one of the mongooses existance. A very plain one at that, the life of a mongoose is short lived and its not even paid attention too unless it’s last resort. Everyone in reach just skips the mongoose and sprints for the ghost and anything else for that matter because it’s almost worthless. And just because there are a bunch of new ideas doesnt mean you should knock some off just to keep it from overwhelming people. People dont understand that a game thats overwhelming, isn’t really that its just BRAND NEW. And i think thats what halo 4 should be… not a halo reach patch, or halo 3 patch that cost 60 dollars. We want a new fun and exciting experience.
Yeah, especially since you can shoot a Pistol with the Flag now. Being able to throw grenades would also be nice.

Non-horrible reach players actually used the mongoose for what it is intended for. It’s a lightweight fast vehicle that gets you from A to Z. It’s fast, so it has to have a con, that’s that it has no weapons. If you want to bareback it with someone they can shoot, and that at times can be hilarious.
It doesn’t need a gun. There are SO MANY factors involved in keeping the game’s sandbox controlled and playable. You just happened to have this idea that you think is cool. Yes a few people agree, but most just don’t think about how it can change how maps work, change how spawns of vehicles work, etc.
It doesn’t need anything new. It already has far too much new.
Yeah i think nades would be fun too, the posibilities with this idea are endless. using a nade to jump off a clip to make it to another one, using nades to cause distractions for the covenant tanks. I think this would increase the games lifespan.
I kinda like this idea…
It might be a little late to bring up but if you can shoot a pistol while carying the flag, why not while driving the mongoose so at least you can get a couple hits or finishing shots on opponents.
(imagines passenger w/PP and driver finishing w/magnum) hmm…might not be a good idea, I dunno…

> changing the fact that the vehicle isnt blocky, and caged, wouldn’t have a large scale effect on the way maps work. You would still have people on the things zipping by without the 1 handed driving, and you would still have people just using it for trasportation. Having one handed aiming isnt making it over powered. Its making it viable for a person who wants to feel like a bad ***. A game that makes you feel like you could take on anything… with skill and with a little luck maybe… im not saying make it have guns… just make it so you can aim yours. Besides you can still get owned by a turret on it, and a tank in one hit for that matter.
How would the controls even work? you’d aim directly in front of you at all times, as moving the reticule turns the mongoose.
> Yeah, especially since you can shoot a Pistol with the Flag now. Being able to throw grenades would also be nice.
I think that’s a bit overkill. Next thin you know, you will have people wanting drivers to be one handed on Warthogs and ghosts. Besides, you can’t throw a nade, drive, and hold a weapon. There must be a believable animation for that.
I can tolerate the pistol. I rather take small steps.
Don’t like this idea. I think the purpose of the mongoose should stay like it is.
> How would the controls even work? you’d aim directly in front of you at all times, as moving the reticule turns the mongoose.
This is a good question.
As for steering mechanics and such the mongoose/passengers would only be able to… but I mean having a driver flip the warthog because he was trying to shoot at you would be another factor… drivers need to keep their eyes on the road if he wants to risk his teams strength for some extra shots, it would weigh itself out. Like i said earlier… make turns more drastic, and make it almost like the tank steering… you aim anywhere… but still drive the way you are moving. Make turns hard as in you know how when you drift on the warthog or mongoose? how it slides and sometimes flips when you do it too hard… just like that.
> How would the controls even work? you’d aim directly in front of you at all times, as moving the reticule turns the mongoose.
They could stick the turning and acceleration features unto the left stick. You accelerate by moving up and turning by … turning the left stick lol. The right stick can be used to move one arm with its reticule moving. You shoot with right trigger. Left trigger is brakes.
