Wow, now five versions of the hog. Should be fun. I am personally looking forward to the one with treds instead of wheels. Wish it had made it in Halo 2 though.

NICE

There would have been no need for it in Halo 2. all the surfaces were the same. Whether driving on snow covered landscapes or the beach, the hog handles the same. maybe in Halo 3, with the power of the 360, there will actually be different kinds of surfaces that would give one type of hog an advantage over another.

<(='.'=<)

weight: 3.25
6.1*3*3.2= 58.56m2

3.25 tons= > 58.56m2 (the hog does not take up the whole box)

>18.0184615384615m2 is equal to 1 ton

Thats about what i got.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

Are those final screen shots or alpha versions.

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

anyone know what it means?
if you spin the quicktime thing real slow, itll pop up down at the bottom of the screen in fragments.
also while spinin it slow, some different angles of the hog pop up

I doubt we'll be seeing all of those Hogs in multiplayer, but hopefully we'll run across them all in Campaign. I can maybe see the 6 seater one on a Blood Gulch type level but I don't know why you'd need a tow truck Hog in multiplayer.

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.
First, to answer your question, just click and drag the video to rotate. Second, mabe the UNSC is trying to make a ghost? Perhaps it's a codename for something Bungie will reveal later on? It's also possible that it's just text, but that is unlikely, since Bungie must mean "to trick" in some language.

Havent you ever wanted to tow around a dead vehicle around? Ever? I've always wanted to fling a blown-up scorpion at the other base

I make up new definition then: Bungie, def - To trick; to pull it a fast one; to use a disembodied soul as a banhammer; to make strange things appear on a seemingly unrelated webpage and not let on even when it becomes a record-breaking length (see Freakin' long post).
now back to the 'hog I would love to see the tread one or the street 'hog from the billboard in H2.

Yippe, a warthog like halo ones without the errors of halo 2's and better destroyability. Why did the UNSC have an indestructable warthog, then a load of crap warthog and then an imbetween version warthog? Does it have the same engine sound effects as halo one? I love the halo one sound effect. Ok enough rambling.

Uh, hate to be cynical, but there's no confirmation of anything that was in this article.
Especially the "no lock-on for rockets," because that wasn't really a hint. A "well-placed rocket" doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't locked on, and even if it wasn't locked on, that doesn't mean that the feature will be gone.
The others are possible, though, because they were flat-out mentioned.

And the Quicktime hint is interesting. We should probably wait for more weapon/vehicle updates, and the text will link or something.
Particularly the Ghost update.
