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.
