Tips and Tricks Department: Halo 3 vehicles
So you’ve started playing Halo 3. If you’re halfway around the world like I am, you probably haven’t finished your single-player campaign yet because you just got your copy the other day, and you have other things to do with your life other than play the game or fight with Master Chief because he’s into your gurl.
Fear not! We got some vehicle survival tips for the n00bs (myself included). Read the wisdom after the jump.
First thing’s first. If you’ve played any Halo game, then you’ve obviously driven a Warthog. Thanks to the new inventory system in Halo 3, you can now keep a stash of weapons. If you have a powerful one that you’re saving for a rainy day, you can give it to the marine that rides shotgun.
Never allow Halo 3 marines to drive your vehicle; your grandma with the expired license would be much more reliable. In addition, allow your passengers to man the guns on your Warthog because they’re much better shots than you could ever be. No offense meant. These guys are fantastic shots.
Remember the Wraith? Well, it’s back, and meaner this time around. If you’re used to jacking them in Halo 2, consider them the “good ol’ days” because with their new front turrets, running at them head-on won’t be very smart.
Then how must one jack a Wraith? Snipe the turret gunner and make a run for it. To facilitate quicker travel, another vehicle would be nice.
Using your Hornet’s homing missiles doesn’t mean you just aim, then fire and watch the fireworks. You have to lock-on close enough so that the reticle will turn red, then fire and watch the fireworks. If you take the time to do this, you won’t be disappointed because one hit would be enough to blow up some vehicles.
Your enemy didn’t blow up, you say? Then pump the target with a little lead from your vehicle’s machine guns. A short burst would probably be enough.
Stay tuned for more Halo 3 tips. If you’re unlucky enough, maybe I can ruin your day by giving you the ending before you actually get there.

The wraiths are pretty easy for me. I just jump alot and approach them from any direction I wanted, including head on, then RB to jump on the front and LT to plant a grenade. Simple as pie. It certainly sounds more difficult to try to snipe as generally there’s not sniper rifles around (I couldn’t find any anyway).

Ooh, you got mad skillz, Aaron. ;) I like to keep a sniper rifle handy as my secondary in whatever level I may be.
But I will try your trick when I get the chance.
