Halo 3's [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] cannot be boarded; however, a player may melee the driver off as they pass by. Alternatively, an attacker can enter the rear passenger seat of a target's Mongoose and then kill the driver with a few quick melee attacks or shots to the back of the head, although such a maneuver would take almost perfect timing and precision. | Halo 3's [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] cannot be boarded; however, a player may melee the driver off as they pass by.

The [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX Armor Defense System|Mantis]] is one of the more difficult vehicles to board, due to its sheer offensive capabilities, height, and shielding. There is no game prompt for boarding if a Spartan simply stands at ground level with the Mantis. The boarder must jump or be suspended in air in order to reach the cockpit. However, due to its size it is also prone and vulnerable to EMP shots from Plasma Pistols. This brings it to a crouched deactivated state and thus makes boarding much easier. | |||
