I have a few questions regarding when you are gunning/riding passenger for a driver who is going the wrong way:
To summarize: should I fire from a moving hog that is travelling the wrong way? But wait, I don't think it's that easy; here are some of the situations that make the answer to this question difficult to me; I am also including what I believe to be my best common sense answer to these questions (CSA's), so please correct me if I am wrong!
1. When you first get into a hog, and it immediatly starts going backwards, should you fire?
CSA 1. As long as it is reasonable to believe that the driver is going backwards to get his next waypoint it is acceptable to fire.
2. When your driver turns after the lap point, when it is NOT acceptable to turn, should you fire?
CSA 2. NO.
3. If you driver turns at the wrong time (as in #2) and you/someone else informs him of the error and he again turns back to the correct way, Can you fire as soon as he turns back forward or wait till you reach the lap point again?
CSA 3. IDK; I typically try to wait, but if I come under fire, after turning back forward, I will typically return fire.
4. If you get in with a driver that is obviously trying to chase kills, should you fire?
CSA 4. NO. And infact I think you should ask the driver to stop/warn the other team and/or any admins in the game that this is occurring; and if it continues; get out of the hog(in order to continue racing).
5. If you driver appears lost, should you fire while you are WAY off track? (I see this more when a new map is introduced in CE) the most common example of this in regular Halo race is the begining on Danger Canyon, when drivers from the blue base forget to turn around at the lap point.
CSA 5.
Not sure on this one...
6. If you see an enemy hog going the wrong way and the enemy gunner/passenger apperently holding fire due to the unfairness of fireing, should you hold your fire?
CSA 6. If you are
sure of this situation it would be nice to hold fire; however practically it is VERY difficult to be sure that the gunner/passenger are not just distracted, and will open up very soon, so practically it would be hard for me to be convinced enough that they are holding fire, to not fire.
Thanks in advance!!
