The hog is tough, but a couple of direct hits from grenades, or a well placed rocket, will end its reign of terror almost immediately. Now if only there was some way to make them indestructible…

Does that mean in custom games we have an option for indestructible vehicles?

Over at HFCS we're constantly hard...

Wait...
What?

Interesting things in this update. (besides the lack of unit conversion skills)

"The mounted weapon includes a battery for short term operation separated from the vehicle..."
That would be a very interesting feature. Parhaps an "indestructible" vehicle option was hinted to as well.

hey frankie are the messed up measurements an egg or just your inability to use a calculator? I'm not sure which explanation is more convincing.

The text in the little quick-time thing reads "X.XX713>ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing"

I don't know what it meanst though.

Good stuff.

Broken formatting is being fixed by top men as we speak.
How about fixing that little rumor in the Halo 3 forum???


What rumor?

Anyhow, awesome warthog info! I love these updates, they make the halo universe that much more real feeling and epic.

I hope those variants of the warthog are put in the final game; adding cool vehicles like that to the mix would make this game even more insane! Great update Frankie!

That's what the broken text is. But what could it mean? There's another thread at HBO discussing this as well.

Maybe the ghost is next? But what's "713"??

Best vehicle by far

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Holy -blam!-... awesome.

  • 03.26.2007 6:02 PM PDT

Music is power.

Cool! And laced with hidden meaning and innuendo as usual. It would be great to see an incarnation of the Hog variants, but even if it was just a callout to fans who've been around since before Halo 2, well done.

nice update and the detail on the damaged hog is nice! I hope it isn't pre-rendered damage...

  • 03.26.2007 6:08 PM PDT

don't take me too seriously..


<3

Hell yes. These are awesome features.

There a lot of tiny hints in this story about the warthog.. and that other stuff in the quicktime movie..

hmm sneaky sneaky..

  • 03.26.2007 6:08 PM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

I got a Hog in the garage. Real nice, but not so good on the mileage. My neighbor did some customization and make his into a hybrid, pretty snazzy.

Being able to take off mounted vehicle weapons and use them, reviving the promise of multiple warthog types, option for indestructibility in multiplayer, no more lock-on feature for the rocket launcher... that's what I call innuendo.

I noticed that aswell. I have no idea what it is though.

The Hog’s automatic braking systems will bring the vehicle to a sudden, but controlled stop should the driver be ejected, or choose to leave the vehicle. Since there are no doors, you can hop over the sills and take advantage of the vehicle’s momentum to give you a running start when making the transition from vehicle to on-foot maneuvers.

This mean we might be able to go from passenger to driver without getting out?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm retarded. Does this mean you can jump over the windshield?
