'''Boarding''' is a gameplay technique first featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' as a unique and interesting method of neutralizing an enemy vehicle by forcing the pilot to exit the vehicle and taking it over. It has become a staple gameplay feature in the ''Halo'' franchise, appearing in every subsequent game. | '''Boarding''' is a gameplay technique first featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' as a unique and interesting method of neutralizing an enemy vehicle by forcing the pilot to exit the vehicle and taking it over.

Boarding is most often done on [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]], [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Brute Choppers]], [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]], and [[Falcon]]s. The act begins with an animation in which the attacker jumps on top of the victim's vehicle and forces the victim out. The attacker then enters the vehicle and takes control over it. Ghosts and Choppers are the easiest to board because they only have forward-firing guns, leaving them vulnerable from all other directions. | Boarding is most often done on [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]], [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Brute Choppers]], [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]], and [[Falcon]]s.
