Pardon Our Dust.

I doubt it, Halo 2 style vehicle boarding is possible in CE but I don't think the team will want to implement it, not sure why, maybe it's very troublesome to code it? Oh well nothing wrong with that.

In a way, you CAN jack it...you just have to kill the driver along with half the Wraith's health first, then you get a half banged up Wraith to drive.

I was previously thinking about suggesting that the Shade turrets get their mortars removed, but then I realized, those mortars are cheap yes but they make for an interesting challenge. The opening battle on Silent Cartographer is damned hard thanks to the mortars, but still fun.

I believe you need two vehicles to make Hijacking work, and CMT is already complaining about tag space.

You can snipe enemies out of the wraith and then just take it.

Shooting them out of the wraith still damages the wraith, like I said :P That's why I'm calling for an empty Wraith to be left at the mercy of the player.

Btw, has the custom Spartan model and stuff still been causing glitches during cutscenes? (i.e. gun goes into body, gun disappears, body just freezes, etc).

[Masterz1337]

Still hasn't been skinned. Nor has anything else for a while **cough**.

Isn't there a tag for damage to affect the driver and not the vehicle? I know that that would screw with damage permutations, but it would be nice to drive unbroken vehicles.

Simple solution: Make the vehicle indestructible and all damage is absorbed by the driver/passengers, just like in stock Halo. But all those newbs would be screaming their heads off if the vehicle destructibility were removed though (except in MP where it doesn't work so well).

So from what I understand, it's possible to do the tags such that AI gunners on the rocket Hog don't shoot at close range? Great job! It was pretty annoying having them commit suicide (taking me with them) when they were trying to "help" me make roadkill.

Also, if you enable the deathless player cheat, you'll notice that a vehicle cannot be destroyed as long as you're behind the wheel, even if the vehicle health is at zero. Iffy...but neat.

Btw, about the human chaingun turrets on Halo (2nd level, 1st group of survivors), maybe they shouldn't be made mounted...the fact that they're locked into position makes them a bit cheap. Even on Legendary, half the Covie dropships were blown out of the air before they handed.

Enough talk about torrents.

Anyone think that the Wraith wasn't used to its full potential in CMT SPV1? The only way to drive one was to get an automatic weapon (preferably the minigun) and fire nonstop at the Wraith until the driver dies and falls out, but this also chops off at least 1/3 of the Wraith's health. It would be great to leave an empty Wraith lying around at some spots, e.g. in Two Betrayals, I know there's a Scorpion there, maybe put a Wraith there instead?

A Wraith in the spot where 2 ghosts are in AotCR would work.

Wraiths are my favorite vehicles in the mod, so you'll be able to get to use them undamaged. You can also blow off the front hatch, and then stick or shoot the pilots out.

I take it to mean that vehicles are still regionized, good to know.

Did you do anything with the AR btw? I more or less got used to its overpowered and extremely slow melee attack (kind of an oxymoron), basically I press the F key about 2-3 seconds before I actually get within melee range.

[SnaFuBAR]

The melee isn't that slow.
