Not a huge deal but it does annoy me and i’m sure i’m not the only one. Taking down vehicles just to have the guy eject is some bull*
Yeah, this is just one of the things keeping me off BTB. It isn’t that hard to kill the player that just ejected but it is annoying when you could have just moved on to the next target. Hope there aren’t any of these “perks” in H5/One, it’s just not Halo.
Agreed. When you splaser a mantis, you expect to get a kill for it. It interrupts the flow of battle.
But remember it does balance out the fact that vehicles are really weak
My feelings are mixed. I can understand the frustration of not getting the kill when using a spartan laser. But on the opposite side i love using it to essentially give a middle finger to everyone who runs the PP stickies combo. (:
Of course I am biased in the sense that I never use vehicles so I guess it just pisses me off more than others, ha
It can be pretty annoying for the guy to escape as soon as you blow him up. Kind of defeats the purpose of you blowing him up, doesn’t it?

Fixing something that is broken with something else that is broken doesn’t fix the problem.
I didn´t survive at all when someone boarded my Mantis and smashed a grenade in it…

Yeah, but remember, the boarder has to get up close to your Mantis.

So it only counts if you are destroyed by someone firing a weapon? You won’t survive when you are being boarded?

Yeah, pretty much. Survivor basically negates the purpose of heavy weapons such as the Spartan Laser.

You still get the points for the Vehicle Kill and it counts toward your Commendations. Getting that one-shot off the guy who ejected isn’t very hard to do.
It is very annoying to take down a vehicle only to see that the driver has miraculously escaped certain death. Although it’s easy to eliminate the ‘Survivor’, as his shields are down. I was originally fully opposed to this perk since it doesn’t allow the game flow very well. However, seeing that my main tools of vehicular destruction are plasma grenades, I rarely encounter anyone ejecting from their vehicle.
The balance of gameplay isn’t tipped too far off due to this perk. I’d still like to see it removed, but it doesn’t really bother me all that much as it is now.
I love survivor because I feel like I’m actually safer in a vehicle than on foot, how its supposed to be. Without survivor all vehicles are screaming metal death traps just waiting to explode at the slightest provocation.
You know what’s funny? Boarding a mantis and planting it with a pulse grenade. It immediately stops and starts shaking and then blows up leaving a floating orange orb where it’s head used to be 
To be honest, Survivor really isn’t that useful.
It is yet another disconnect between a player making good choices/playing well, and that player being rewarded with kills. Yet this disconnect requires no skill on behalf of the surviving players.
I find it useful, When the vehicle is blown up and the driver is ejected you can still kill him when he’s dropping down. It also gets rid of the annoying PP and PG problem making it vehicle gameplay much better.
