Who says Hal gets all the fun polls?
Usually I will take it and use it, because:
1) A Vehicle idling enough will eventually destroy itself, reverting its control back to the enemy
2) A Blown up vehicle also reverts its control back to the enemy
3) After I blow up your grenades, your Worfing is useless
So I tend to take it and use it, especially if it's heavy firepower like a Tank. I've even jacked a levi or two; whoe lot of laughing while the other team literally bitched "Who the **** left the levi?!"

People that discard vehicles must die. Particularly, but not exclusively, the big ones like Goliaths and Leviathans. I see this all the time and it just makes me wish I could do a little team-killing.
Usually, if I see an abandoned vehicle, I then realize that I'm in a game with vehicles, and leave the server.

That merely controls how long it takes to do so.Sir_Brizz said:Depends on how close it is to a node

I kind of like this. It means you'll go around launching munitions at every empty vehicle in sight, wondering if I was the last one to use it.Dark Pulse said:3) After I blow up your grenades, your Worfing is useless

For me, vehicles were the new shine toy that you get for Christmas, but a week later you've forgotten all about it and are back to playing with your old toys.
This is just my personal tastes, and by no means a knock of gametypes with vehicles. ONS is a very good game. It's just not my thing. I enjoyed tinkering with the vehicles when the game first came out, but it got old to me. I'll still play an ONS match from time to time, but too much of it, and I've got to split.

That and you have an extremely nasty habit of using only Mantas.
Tell that to Buddy Lee. He jacked the wrong Raptor last weekend.Dark Pulse said:Not really, since I know which ones are my team's.

Also, there are no guarantees about a full set of nades working on a Bender or a tank, so my options are limited.

No it doesn't, start up a botmatch, steal one of the bot's vehicles, and drive it right on top of one of your nodes and let it sit there. It will be there at the end of the game when you come back (assuming it doesn't get blown up by someone during the course of play).Dark Pulse said:
I find that most often someone on your team just sees an empty vehicle sitting there and starts shooting it. Usually, they are shooting the link gun to try to repair and end up blowing it off the face of the Earth, but whatever.
It only works when the element of surprise is present. Obviously not everyone is stupid, so the solution is to make them a victim of circumstance.
People like DP claim they're wise to me, but it doesn't make one bit of difference. Every week there's SOMEONE who falls for it just one time, and that's enough to have me giggling quietly here at my desk, just thinking about it.
Of course, the other choices in this poll are in fact legitimate. I, for example, find it much more useful to bury enemy vehicles to give my team an advantage. It works even better in XMP where vehicles don't respawn after X seconds.

Hijack it, get it somewhere safely, repair it to full and then carefully use it against enemies. Run off as soon as someone shoots anything but an assault rifle in my direction.
(since being Worf'd)In case I see enemy grenades on it, I add a couple extra ones and go hiding as well

I know what you mean, when we used to play more ONs at FragBU I used to do it all the time. The best was strategically placing them on the bottom of a Manta that has just spawned...and then you let them fly for a couple seconds and...."BOOM!"
I know I did it to Bobo, Huggy, and BulletProof at least twice during one FragBU.
I usually hijack it because with a vehicle (especially with a Manta or Goliath) I'm 10x better than on foot, sometimes I even hijack a Manta with 30 hp and don't even repair it...
Sometimes I hijack enemy vehicles, but most of the time I just blow them up because I'm an idiot and don't think about hijacking it until after I've blown it up. That, and I don't really care for Onslaught too much, especially when the teams are uneven. I'm pretty sure a couple times someone's abandoned a Manta they were trying to attack me with only to have me hijack it and run them over, but I can't remember any specifics.
While booby-trapping your own vehicles is certainly amusing, it doesn't help your team a whole lot.
1) You've removed a vehicle from your team's stockpile - and at best will kill one person with it.
2) You've removed yourself from the overall push for nodes
Vehicles need to be on their way to take an enemy node or defending your vulnerable ones.
The main type booby-trapping that can be effective for the team is to mine one of the enemy vehicles so that you can steal it.
Always, always, always hijack a vehicle rather than destroy it. Or at the very least, damage it to the point that it is on fire and leave it alone.

You DO realize that at best, w0rfing is but an occasional diversion for me... right? Even I didn't vote for it on my own poll!hal said:
Considering how bad I am at traditional gametypes, surely you don't think that I would waste an entire match in a game where I could actually contribute?
... assuming of course that I didn't hijack one of theirs to begin with.
