Can you hijack vehicles in Halo 3: ODST?

ODST
You can hijack in ODST? Source please? Goheels619 22:39, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Pretty much. I do wonder how you can board Wraiths like a Spartan, though. PX1'7'3 01:33, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * You hop on the back and beat the crap out of it. I believe you can also hijack Ghosts and Choppers (actually I'm almost certain on the Choppers,) but given the ODST health system, it's far more difficult than with a Spartan.Ocean Soul (talk) 17:16, 25 April 2013 (EDT)


 * I'd guess it's non-canon, like ripping off turrets. Always use the DMR. This is craZboy557, signing off. 20:53, 25 April 2013 (EDT)


 * Uh, what? How is ripping off a turret non-canon? It's simply pulling it way from either pins or a gravity-beam; it's not like you need to be super-strong. As for the DMR, it wasn't in ODST... With boarding, all the ODST does is jump on back and punch at the engine. Sure, it's hard to believe, but so was a number of other gameplay mechanics that would leave the ODST bloody-fisted. Of course, there is always the option of grenades being shoved into the engine, which is perfectly plausible.Ocean Soul (talk) 20:57, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

=Halo 2 Banshee= Is Banshee in Halo 2 boardable? I tried it in the Campaign, but it doesn't seem to work. PatrickRus 10:24, 18 January 2012 (EST)

EMP and Banshees
One of the Trivia's say that one cannot EMP a Banshee to board it. In what game does this apply to, and what gametype? I have been able to EMP and board Banshees in Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo 4 (on certain levels in Campaign.) This point needs clarification or removal, I think.Ocean Soul (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

Mantis Boarding
I think the description for boarding a Mantis needs to leave out whether it is easy or not, as this is a skill highly determinate on the skill of the player attempting to board. Rather, it should focus on tactics to board the Mantis, possibly pointing out advantages to certain tactics. In the hands of a skilled pilot, the Mantis would be incredibly difficult to board; also depending on what tactical package the player is using. Offensive players might not even get anywhere near enough to EMP it, so saying that it's "surprisingly easy" to board is highly subjective.Ocean Soul (talk) 20:54, 25 April 2013 (EDT)
