Warthog Passenger Can Take Dead Driver's Spot

Let me give you the scenario:

You are in the passenger’s seat along with the driver, and the person gunning in the warthog. As you are driving around, the enemy team takes out your driver. Your vehicle is at a stand still, and you and the gunner are sitting ducks… Should you, in the shotgun seat be given a prompt to enter the driver’s seat (If vacant) WITHOUT exiting the vehicle, and needing to move to the other side of the vehicle while a sniper may have a bead on you?

this would make jumping into a Warthog’s passenger seat capable of taking control of an enemy vehicle as well. Beat down the driver, then take control of the vehicle. It would give a lot more reason to possibly be careful driving, or have a 3rd person in the car.

No, it’s the whole point that if you kill the -Yoink!- driver you get a free kill immediately afterwards because the gunner/passenger didn’t get out fast enough. Or to stop the guy with the flag in the passenger seat. THE ENTIRE POINT IS IF YOU GET THE DRIVER IT STOPS THE VEHICLE. Ugh. Stop spamming the -Yoink!- forums. Jesus

Now, hold on a second. Don’t damn him right away. This sounds like a pretty cool idea. It’d make for some epic moments on the battlefield. Besides, if you’re a good enough sniper, you can snipe the passenger before, during, or after he hops in the driver seat.

It’s a fair idea. There should be some delay, but it’s worth it. Secondly, he’s not spamming the forums. These are all different ideas, and they’re also pretty good. Just because it’s the same user doesn’t mean his posts are automatically spammy.

When some of them have been posted before, and he should have searched the forums prior to posting the SAME thing again? Yes, it’s spam.

I’m ‘Damning’ him, because I didn’t like him, due to his post spamming. Granted, with a heavy lag to moving to the other seats, it might possibly be a good addition in Halo 6, but again I don’t think it would be worth the time/resources into making this happen for guardians, seeing as how it’s almost done.

I haven’t seen this on the forums. I haven’t seen the post on individual weapon damage anywhere else. I don’t know why you’re so pissed, but his ideas seem original and reasonable.

I’m not saying that ALL of his ideas have been posted before, but half of them have. Plus, he could have posted ONE post. ONE thread. Instead, he chose to flood the forums with his name to get post counts, and spam. That in my book negates all he has to say.

You act like this is so malicious in intent. His points are polls, and he’s trying to see who likes what for each of his individual points. He has good ideas, so just give him the time of the day, and be constructive.

I don’t think anyone actually digs through here looking to see if an idea has been posted before. I don’t know how many times I voted for “favorite campagn mission” or “best variant of chief’s armor.”

But op, I think you should have to get out and walk around the warthog. It would be weird if we could just slide over all the sudden

Well this idea could help re/balance the warthog as now it’ll be less powerful due to the enhanced spartan movility.
I do worry about the “stopping the guy with the flag” part though. but I believe this could easily be solved by having the passenger drop the flag/bomb on the spot when choosing to slide to the driver’s seat.

Also, yes. This guy do spams the forums recently, but my guess is that he is simply too hyped, as all of us

I think it would make it a lil better for the passenger to switch

Well as it stands right now, the passenger seat has only been good for transporting a flag or bomb, massively aim assisted sniping and having a meat shield for the driver than most snipers and gunners won’t even hit. Vehicles are getting a nice boost in the aspect that people won’t be spawning with plasma grenades, or plasma pistols now, which is awesome, but we are also seeing other issues in infinite sprint, potentially spartan tackles and ground pounds could destroy a Warthog as well.

It’s a small benefit, but one I think the game could easily handle.

> No, it’s the whole point that if you kill the -Yoink!- driver you get a free kill immediately afterwards because the gunner/passenger didn’t get out fast enough. Or to stop the guy with the flag in the passenger seat. The entire point is if you get the driver it stops the vehicle.

Interesting point. I suppose it would be pretty imbalanced if you got that difficult snipe on the driver, only for the passenger to switch over and speed away.

> Plus, he could have posted ONE post. ONE thread. Instead, he chose to flood the forums with his name to get post counts, and spam

Someone has to make new threads, don’t really care who. Really a strange complaint.

It’s not almost done. Five months to make a simple seat switching function? Don’t think so. The longest would be the animations. Maybe it would take a few weeks to get it done, but it could be done before it releases.

THey have other things to work on, to tweak, and to ensure no bugs. I’d rather them work on THAT than on the animations, and the moving of passenger to driver.

Lol @ the noobs complaining that this would make it too hard to snipe everyone out of the vehicle. If you cant kill the gunner and passenger in the few seconds it takes the passenger to realize the driver is dead and subsequently take the wheel, you really dont deserve those kills, and lets face it, you probably wouldnt have been able to kill the driver in the first place if youre that bad lol.

I like the idea. It would make it a little bit better to ride shotgun.

True, and most people that use the sniper since Reach use snipers more for anti vehicle, rather than anti spartan. The concept is more so that if someone gets a lucky shot off at the driver, then whole crew on the warthog isn’t effectively IMMEDIATELY screwed. If you are in the passenger seat, and the driver dies, you honestly have nothing to really contribute other than looking very stupid and try to claim control of the vehicle.

It would also give people a reason to ride passenger. We don’t have that at present.
