All I hear is shooting this and assassinating that. How about a good driver that knows that maps with a high skill set that can weave in and out of pillars while his gunner wreaks havoc on the enemy teams base.
Drivers are so underrated in this game its pathetic; I don’t care if its a tank; or a banshee it takes skill and if you are driver with a gunner your a God in my eyes! How many times have I left the base honking my horn waiting for somebody anybody to hop on board and lay mayhem. Calling all Drivers!
Yesterday some guy was yelling at my team to get in his rocket hog, I kept shaking my head because I know I’m terrible with rocket turrets. But hey, once he got a gunner he managed to scare off an Achilles farming ONI Scorpion.
God bless you OP. You can drive for me anytime. I can’t tell you how many times I hop in the back of a hog and just end up waiting for someone to take the wheel. And even then, half the time whoever does end up driving just flips it in 5 seconds anyway.
Only a couple times have I been able to combo with another to lay out mayhem. It’s hard to find good drivers when I want to shoot or good shooters when I want to drive 3:
I remember getting an ONI Warthog once. I got a gunner and a passenger and we drove straight at the enemy’s home base. We managed to take down a Mantis. Part of it was my driving. My driving then got us killed by a Scorpion.

I was in that game. I’m the same way with rocket turrets so I didn’t want to, but after awhile I figured I’d give it a shot. It was a terrible idea, I immediately got sniped. Haha. That other guy did alright though.
The issue is theirs very little personal incentive to be a driver.
Wheelman’s aren’t considered assists which is a big blow.
For perhaps the second time ever in this game I properly drove the Warthog, although it was very fun and my gunner was destroying at the end i had 0 kills 0 assists and 1 death.
It left me disheartened to know i was basically going unrewarded for my effort.

This is exactly why drivers matter now. They need to know their routes and weave in and out of cover. The chain gun is great but the gunner is very vulnerable now.
Im working on my awareness when driving. I go through streaks now where I can drive well then I revert back to stupidity and get my gunner killed immediately.

Going for splatters usually puts you in a bad position though, and if you miss, more often than not, you’ll get high jacked.

Again, linking back to one of the main points, drivers need to be better
A lot of the time when I’m being honked at I just splurged for a power weapon and don’t feel like wasting it by hopping in the back of a Warthog driven by an unknown quantity…

I agree, they do, but I don’t think a good driver should go out of his way for a splatter. That either puts you way out in the open which makes your gunner very vulnerable, or you try smashing someone into a wall, and if you miss it’s over. Warthog’s are very easy to get out of the way of.

Once they made it so wheelman medals did not count as assists (H5 is the first Halo where this is the case) I really lost my incentive to drive. We tried to ask for a fix but 343 never addressed this. I’m sure some peeps don’t care but for me that was a deal breaker.

Partially true, I won’t get in a gunners seat without an overshield on because you’re right that they are free kills without it. Good driver helps too.
I am known as the “coffin driver” <.< for potentially non obvious reasons.
Which has absolutely no connection to me barrel rolling into 5 enemies with a gunner frantically shoot… Nope nothing about that relates to how “the coffin” got its name.
Luckily enough for me “the coffin” constantly has fresh bodies
