Yay Warthog! I wonder if they'll add any weapons like they added the guase in Halo 2.

I like the removable turret option. If it's in the game, it'll be a welcome change. Pick your poison, armament or load capacity.

The warthog is cool and all but has anyone else seen those broken bits of text on the bottom of the image of the warthog as you spin it. Some of them definitely say something halo related, but I am not sure what. One seems to be a website and another is seemingly a message/transmission. Although I am intrigued, I hope this isn't another I Love Bees. That was way too crazy for me.

English Units length is messed up (unless 6.1 meters = 10 inches in the Halo universe.)

The Hog Weight also goes from Tonnes to Inches, which must be a vector calculation error due to Slipspace and secret Forerunner technology.


Table was broken, fixing now.

Thanks for the dimensions. I'm making a warthog out a cardboard for a school project but I didn't know what the actual dimensions were.

Knowing when to get out is just as important as knowing when to get in. 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. WHAT ARE SILLS.

"X.XX.713 > ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing"

Now what does that mean? I just noticed it in the quicktime warthog thing. Of course, it's Bungie's way of trying to get a message across to old Bungie fans.

Bring your A game.

Ok here's some weird things. Besides the possibility of other Hogs, an indestructible option, and possibly no lock-on for rockets. Did any of you catch the weird units before Frankie updated it? It had 9.75 ft, 10 in, 32.17 in, and 14.2 lbs. Now that's weird right? Because we know that 6.1 m doesn't equal 10 in. But check this out: to convert the 9.75 ft to inches, multiply by 12, and what do you get?

(9.75 ft) x (12 inches) = 117 inches!! What???

Strange, eh? I don't know why that was there, but maybe if we multiplied all the measurements in inches to get volume (cubic inches) and then found the density (mass divided by volume), we'd get some sort of cool number or clue. But I don't know what units it would be in. Pounds per cubic inches? Kilograms per cubic meters? I dunno.

Second strange thing is this:

X.XX.713> ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing

Now what it looks like to me is an equation. Something.713 is greater than the Ghost.713, and that Something is made up of X.XX

Non-auth could mean non-authorized, as in non-authorized acitivities that are going on somewhere by someone...? I've heard rumors of a Brute Ghost, so perhaps the Brute Ghost is greater than the Ghost, and it was a non-authorized project headed up by the Brutes.

Maybe? I'm just throwing ideas out there.

P.S. Someone PLEASE tell me how to make the 3D movie spin around! I can only zoom in and out!

P.P.S. Sills are like walls, I think (window sill?), the walls that are there instead of doors on the Warthog.

  • 03.26.2007 6:55 PM PDT

Ding Ding!

Awesome update.

I very much look forward to crashing the Warthog in Halo 3...

Anyone able to make out what the text at the bottom of the quicktime file is? when it is rotated a specific way small amounts of text show up but it is so cut up and choppy i can;t figure it out. also i love the 3 or 4 weird shots of it from different angles as well... :p

thats so evil
" Now if only there was some way to make them indestructible… "

anyone else remember the "Golden Warthog" myths?


that thing in the quickfile is

x.xxx.7137.ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoin

And I bet they have a 'hog jump skull in halo3.

  • 03.26.2007 7:01 PM PDT

You just got Sarged!

It sounds like pretty much the same old puma. Not that thats a bad thing. I hope you can really take the weapons off the hog and run around with them. That would be awesome. The different seating options might be kool too, but most people will probably stick with the original configuration

I really liked the handling of Halo 2's hog, though it just seemed like the hog fom Halo 1 had more "weight" to it. In a sense, that fuzzy feeling you get when a puma hammers the ground next to you.

"if only we could make it indestructible"

I think that is a reference to Halo 1, because the warthogs were invincible back then.

I think we may have gotten a hint here about something.
