'''Boarding''' is a gameplay technique first featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' as a unique and interesting method of neutralizing an enemy vehicle by forcing the pilot to exit the vehicle and taking it over. It has become a staple gameplay feature in the ''Halo'' franchise, appearing in every subsequent game. | '''Boarding''' is a gameplay technique first featured in ''[[Halo 2]]'' as a unique and interesting method of neutralizing an enemy vehicle by forcing the pilot to exit the vehicle and taking it over.

Boarding a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], [[Wuzum-pattern Spectre|Spectre]], [[ | Boarding a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], [[Wuzum-pattern Spectre|Spectre]], [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowler]], or {{Pattern|Rizvum|Revenant}} is different in that an attacker will still eject their victim, but without taking their seat. This can be dangerous as the player that was boarded can start shooting the attacker while the attacker is still returning to a first-person view. | ||
These vehicles, within the exception of the Revenant also have turrets, making it difficult to get close enough to board them, and leaving an attacker vulnerable to fire from the turrets while boarding. These vehicles can still be neutralized by boarding them, however; ejecting the driver leaves the gunner a sitting duck, and ejecting the gunner makes the vehicle less dangerous. | These vehicles, within the exception of the Revenant also have turrets, making it difficult to get close enough to board them, and leaving an attacker vulnerable to fire from the turrets while boarding.
