| '''Maybe Next Time Buddy''' is a ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] [[achievement]]. It was awarded for boarding the same [[Vehicles|vehicle]] within 10 seconds of having been thrown off of it in any free for all playlist. The achievement is worth 5 [[Gamerscore]]. | | '''Maybe Next Time Buddy''' is a [[Halo 3]] [[Multiplayer]] [[achievement]]. It is awarded for boarding the same vehicle you've been thrown off of within ten seconds in any free for all [[playlist]]. The achievement awards the player 5 [[Gamerpoints]]. |

| | It is represented by a red octagon with a hand making a "stop" sign. |
| | |
| | This achievement's icon is identical to the emblem entitled "Halt." |
| | |
| | [[The Great Banshee Switch|A way to do this]] with the [[Banshee]] is to do an upwards barrel roll as you are being boarded. If timed right, you will be flipped upward as soon as you are ejected, and you can come right back down on the Banshee to [[Boarding|reboard]] it. |
| | |
| | The vehicle must still have the hijacker in it; if you kill them and then board the vehicle, the achievement does not count. |
| | |
| | Another way to unlock this achievement is to get the ghost on snowbound and drive it into the underground section where the shotgun is. Simply wait for someone to get up to the ghost and highjack it, and since there is not much room for the highjacker to move, you can very easily highjack the ghost back without the enemy getting away. |
| | |
| | If you are in a large vicinity when you are hijacked (eg. High ground, Isolation), shoot an over-charged plasma pistol shot at the ghost, as this will "pistol whip" the vehicle and stun it for 3-5 seconds. However trying the method above is an easier way to unlock this achievement, since the enemy will most likely have left the vehicle before you can re-board it. |
| | |
| | The match does not have to be ranked, so it's possible to get a friend, go to Rumble Pit, and get the achievment there. |
| | |
| | This achievement can be pretty hard for some, since a lot of people don't like to use vehicles in free for all, as you being the one that draws all the attention. This led people to gather at the start of the match and exchange vehicles, before resuming the fight again. |

| ==Tips==
| |
| *An easy way to unlock this achievement was to get the [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]] on [[Snowbound]] and drive it into the underground section where the [[M90 shotgun|Shotgun]] spawn is. Simply waiting for someone to get up to the Ghost and hijack it, and since there was not much room for the hijacker to move, the player could very easily hijack the Ghost back without the enemy getting away. However, it was advisable that players stay very near the shield doors. Otherwise, the hijacker could use the [[Class-2 directed energy cannon|twin plasma cannons]] on the Ghost to finish them off.
| |
| *This achievement could be difficult for some, since many players didn't like to use vehicles in free for all as it drew a lot of attention. This led people to gather at the start of a match and exchange vehicles, before resuming the fight again. Additionally, players hijacked out of the vehicles are momentarily stunned and have their movement limited, making it hard to re-board the vehicle. One solution was to immediately deploy a Bubble Shield to increase chances of surviving.
| |
| *On Snowbound, being hijacked very close to the [[Overshield]] spawn point, allowing players to use pickup the Overshield which would make the player invincible for a few seconds until the shield fully charges, and thus, the Ghost hijacker could not kill them by splattering them or killing them with the Plasma Cannons. Another useful power-up was the power drain, which would prevent the other player from splattering or shoot them until they could re-hijack it.
| |
| *This multiplayer achievement was unique because it was one of the few original achievements that did not require a ranked playlist. This meant that, with a guest, players could arrange the completion of this achievement on Rumble Pit. Sometimes players would help each other get this achievement in [[Lone Wolves]] by simply letting a player hi-jack them, then the other player letting them re-hi-jack them. If a player didn't want to "cheat" to get the achievement, it could be pretty tricky.
