Parking brake…
The Enemy has your Team pinned down, and you see an opening, a chance to route them from a perfect locale. you save your Req’s and bring out a Gause Wort, Spinning and blowing the horn, and no one wants to get in, So… You take your spot, switch seats and mount up and lay down some death and destruction, 1,2,4,5 kills and THEN!!!
Some Noob jumps in (even a seasoned player sometimes) and wants to go for a ride in your Req7 Ride, and gets you both killed in a heartbeat…
So what about adding a “lock”, the player that pulls the req and climbs in can set a sort of parking brake, but only if he’s on the gun, to balance it, no other team mate can move it, but an enemy can still jack you or jump in. Most vehicles are dual purpose anyways, so why not, they added seat switching, a second passenger to mongoose, unlimited grenades too, even a boost to Flying/hovering. I know with everything, there will and probably would be some greifing, but the benefit’s to it are just awesome, no longer will someone else’s hard work get stolen by his own team on the field.
Thanks for your time.
I love this, this has happened to me so many times, I just wish it could stop.
I guess it could work. I don’t see why they don’t try it. They can just remove it if it doesn’t work out
It would have to work on only teamates because an enemy should be able to still get in it and “Highjack” the seat by turning off the parking break. But i would actually like this.
Yes an implement test absolutely.
Yes to still being enemy jacked, only works on team mates, I’ve been bump slaughtered so many times, I’m posted in the bottle neck of a fight area, stopping enemy advance at a corner with a shotgun, and “SPARTAN CHARGE” push right out into heavy weapon fire, so that’s a problem.
Or holding down the whole team with a gauss turret only to have it jacked by a teammate and driven into the thick, and that is not the way it’s used, it’s mid distance destruction to long range destroyer. so much rage over that one, or a new guy looking at your ride going, Whoa! I got to drive that for six seconds and get us both blown up when I could just watch and learn some stuff.
They would have to have some way to show it’s using the parking brake, like maybe a flashing light or something.
So many times this has happened. So many times, wonderful ONI Hog and I want to shoot, but some noob jumps in and drives me off a cliff. But I see a few problems for implementation.
First, Hogs often change hands, the original player may end up dead or give it away. So now you could have a useless parked Hog in the path of a tank, someone may have been able to save it, but not when it’s parked.
Second, I can see very quickly the player who’s parked it suddenly needing to move, the aforementioned tank for instance, so he jumps into the drivers seat… and forgets to toggle the parking brake off. BOOM! No more Hog.
My pessimism aside, I love this idea, I suppose they could make it so the last driver is the “owner” instead of the REQ called, but still something of a problem.
I have an alternate proposal, the “senior” player, who has been in the vehicle the longest, has a boot option. This could be overridden if the original owner is killed, someone runs around for 5 minutes, and then he gets back in. Boot, my hog -Yoink-!
I love how reqs have made people play with a lone wolf mentality. (: most people just want to help. Griefing does most definitely exist though.
No. Just spawn in the turret by itself.
this is something i would love
Wort, Wort, Wort!
This times infinity!! I don’t know how many times I’m suupressing an enemy at their core room using a rocket hog or something and some dimwit goes, okay, lets drive into the base, derp a herp a derp!!! DEAD!
Easy, spawn a turret. Driving vehicles are meant to be driven.
*Warthog
Also,
You don’t need to put your entire post in bold.

fixed
Oh I feel you I parked a hog perfectly in warzone assault got 10 kills in with just a normal hog then someone thought that only being able to aim at 2 doors instead of all opening was better and move me and got me killed yaaaaaaay…
yeah but then you got team mates all upset and will start ground pounding/spartan charging or grenading your vehicle to mess with you. Though it wont damage it, it could knock you off a cliff or cause you to be misaligned with your target, which still is irritating.
You know what, not a bad idea, honestly. I use warthogs as mobile turrets alot and this happens constantly.
Just call in the gauss turret silly lol
nah I like this idea, but it would need to be adjusted like tango said
