Re: Vehicle Health

In Response To: Re: Vehicle Health (pete_the_duck) : I thought post-Beta, they reverted back to Halo 3's system of 'as long as the : driver is still alive'.. : I thought it was mentioned in a BWU when the Beta was winding down--but I : haven't been able to find it. I seem to recall reading this, though.. : maybe I just imagined it because I wanted to believe it to be true. From the June 4 Update: One thing that many of you have asked about following the beta is how vehicles are being adjusted for the final game. The vehicles, like everything else, were a work-in-progress at the time of the beta and things have indeed changed since then. Sage and Josh gave me the lowdown on what to expect in September (still subject to fine tuning): Overall vehicles are “much, much meatier” than they were in the Beta. Vehicles will no longer just explode on their own, “GTA style.” Vehicles will only blow up from direct player damage. So, no more killing an opponent and flying away only to have your flaming vehicle suddenly explode on you. Vehicle damage will now partially transfer to the player, just like you’re used to in Halo 3. You’ll see this represented in your own shield/health meter as your vehicle takes damage. Even cooler – the damage that a player takes depends on the location of the damage being done relative to the player. So, if you throw a grenade underneath a Warthog, the driver is going to take a little bit of damage. If you throw a grenade into the sun roof or windshield, the driver will take significantly more damage. So no, they didn't say they're bringing back the Halo 3 system. All they said was that damage done to vehicles will also partially transfer to the driver and passengers. As far as we know, vehicles still have their own "health" independent from that of the player. I certainly hope this is the case, as I never liked the Halo 2/3 system.
