een auto hijacken


Explanation:
Short for hi-jacking. Ik ben niet zo thuis in de gamingtaal, dus ik weet niet of hijacken wel gebruikt wordt hier.

Also new for vehicles is that you can now “jack” a ride. Yes, “Grand Theft Warthog” takes on a new meaning when a Covenant soldier jumps on the hood of your ride and yanks you out of the driver seat.

een auto jatten


Explanation:
Het is een beetje de straattaal versie van een auto stelen, vandaar dat ik het vertaald heb als jatten en niet als stelen.
