Yeah...those drivers are much nicer. I'd recommend the first method for multiplayer (punch until the pilot dies) because it still gives the chance of a functional wraith with a lower chance of getting yourself killed. It's better if you can damage the player before he gets in, as to make him more susceptible to punches when you board. Or, snipe the hatch open (also works on Scorpions) and snipe the pilot. That does minimal damage and works well in both campaign or multiplayer if you've got the aim, but it assumes you have a sniper on hand. Also, mazdak is correct too, but as far as I know that works only in a handful of Reach levels. When it does though...free full health wraiths are real nice. And even more also, Flame, I give props for the Chopper finish (I love that thing; wish it came back), but I was far too satisfied swatting down Jump-Pack Brutes with the Wraith to put it down!
Do you guys reckon there will be a new Vidmaster's challenge achievements for the next trilogy? The vidmasters were always the hardest but greatest achievements to attain, no gamer score but still satisfaction, and recon! It will be a cool thing to add
