Very interesting.

You get to use the pilum in the back seat to shoot the other cars but you can't use the machine gun turret. No roller mines either for the guy in the back, just repair, pilum, & EMP mines.

Then you could have obstacles along the way with roller mines and possibly a tank or two that you have to make it by.

Then you can have a second obstacle of a line of support troops throwing EMP grenades to slow you down.

Hmmm I think I have put too much thought into this now. The possiblities are endless! Anyways, after a few beers it could be hillarious.

That. Sounds. AWESOME. We should work on a proposal, and I can book the practice server for experimenting with different options.

...DAMN that sounds awesome.

Let me know when you are going to do this, I used to love racing Warthogs (Pumas) in Halo. I dig the engineer with the EMP mines too. That would be great.

So just a little expansion on this, Braddoc and I were playing Highway Tampa last night on another server trying some stuff out and found a totally fun way to spend your time on that map (if your screwing around). You could use this strategy while following orders too though and being a team player.

Braddoc was the driver and was support with infantry detection beacon, I was engineer and had roller mines and vehicle detection beacon.

1. Put the infantry & vehical detection beacon on a FAV and jump in. Have the support troop drive and the engineer get in the 3rd position (the back seat) of the FAV.

2. Now drive around as fast as you can and find armor, have the driver speed by the armor while the engineer drops mines out of the back. The engineer gets points for kills and the support gets points for resupplies while doing all of this for an added bonus.

Note -- The engineer should also spawn with the anti-air gun to take care of any pesky gunships that might be on your six.

3. Have the engineer drop roller mines and switch back to repairing the vehicle often. We were able to keep the vehicle repaired while taking direct hits from gunships & walkers using this method.

The killers for us were tank shots and infantry who get lucky killing the guy in the back seat. Another advantage of this where I think it would help the team out is you can quickly move from silo to silo & you act as a mobile infantry & vehicle detection beacon. If one of the guys is squadleader you also act as a mobile spawn point. Pretty nifty if you ask me.

I wish we would have had someone else to take screenshots of us or a video. All I know is I laughed so hard I nearly soiled myself and we had a great time.
