Regarding Halo 3, Bungie said they want vehicles to be a prize for anyone who manages to kill the driver, they don't want players sniping the scorpion driver and then walking over just to find it only has one working tread or something like that.
yeh they said that, but then when you watch the vids of the hemorrhage gameplay, you clearly see a guy snipe a scorpion driver and the entire tank blow up
It will probably be like in halo 3 where you can repeatedly hit the vehicle in a certain location and some visual elements will fall off (warthog bumper, scorpion tread covering), but the damage will received as a whole. New video: Plasma Cannon (Spire gameplay) Also with a new medal: YOINK! (possibly kill steals will now pay off even more)
At 0:35 in the video, you see an elite assassinating another spartan, and the player steals his friends kill which gives him the "YOINK!" medal. So basically the medal "YOINK!" means stealing your firend's kill while he is assassinating someone.
Thats because there was a Ghost firing at it too and the sniper picked off the last shot. It was really the Ghost that blew the tank up.
Even if that is the case there is still the fact that in general vehicles sometimes explode when the driver is killed even if the vehicle hasn't taken enough damage to explode it self.
I think he means the driver dying and the tank exploding were caused by two entirely separate events. First the tank driver gets sniped then an instant later the ghost's fire destroys the tank.
Guys, I have just had an (entirely relative) brainwave (Probably old)! Countdown and Boardwalk are the new BTB maps! BTB has been confirmed, but as yet no maps large enough to accomodate it properly have been showcased. This leads me to the conclusion that, like Invasion, there will be two original maps for BTB, which will feature the neglected Reach gametype Multi-flag CTF, the completely unmentioned and possibly abolished feature Assault, and our old favourite, BT Slayer. What do you think. Am I right, just a crazy Halo fanboy or both? PS: @Pyro: No, a sniper is now able to destroy a sufficiently damaged Scorpion. There is footage of this on both Hemorrhage and Boneyard.
Not to mention boneyard is more of a btb than invasion anyway. We need symmetrical maps. I want the pit
I don't want any remakes for a while. I want all new content. I hope that the Ivory Tower remake is the only one that ships. (not talking abut the Forge World remakes)
We could do any remake anyway. I'd love to see someone waste away perfecting a Headlong remake. It's a shame they never make any 1v1 or 2v2 specific maps anymore. Cold Storage has been the smallest thing they'v done and i think that was due to time limitations/priorities. I'd like to see one that could just be a spectacle focused map, with some insane views and architecture, like falling depris.
I'd love to see some small maps come out similar to the size of Derelict or Longest. I loved playing FFA and 1v1s with my brother and friends back in the day of CE.
