Haven't checked to see if this has been posted yet, but that blinking text at the bottom spells out this:

Right, you. Explain, now, why you didn't check. It was mentioned in the post before the one before yours, as well as in the first post of the last page (before you made this one).

Why didn't you check..?

No pictures of the M12G LAAV version:-( Wanted to see how the gauss gun was in the new warthog... (I know it's not "new", but it's H3, not H2..) Just wondering if this damages on one of the pictures is the same like if they had been shot in the wheels by an SMG?!

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

This sounds like a military code for a top secret thing so it could have something to do with the UNSC making thier own varient of the ghost
or the Covies military making another varient of the ghost

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

I don't think u will be able to move with it. Just put the turret on that you want and maybe drop a turret off were you need it. Which whould be very useful.

Uuuh yeah, about X.XX.713> ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing

I remember seeing somewhere a halo pic showing commands or a cmd prompt, and I think that ip's or addresses or whatever they have are in 3 sections, instead of 4 like ours. That > isnt more than/less than, its actually the cmd prompt symbol - like in windows its C:\Documents and Settings\"username"> *command*

If you look in the Halo Graphic Novel, at the back were there is some concept art, on pg. 122 you see examples of this.

Also, 'ghost' reminds me of the Sparten III's in Ghost's of Onyx (not just because of the name of the book). I don't think their tags were "Sparten-***" like johns was "Sparten-117" so maybe Ghost is a tag, being "Ghost-713"

That would explain the number, and maybe "x.xx.713" (which I believe to be an ip or something similiar) then maybe the first x covers up the Organisation number (like navy, marines etc.), the second XX covers up the division number (NavSpecWep etc.) and the final 713 is the personal tag.

Therefore, even if it isnt a sparten II or III it would still work, just being a different division.

Get Ghost.

Wow, I guess I'm kind of slow at getting to these posts. Anyway, indestructable Hogs would be uber sweet! And the mentioning of the other variants makes me wonder...

Ah the ol' Warthog....I have fond memories with this....Running over my FRIENDS!!!

Sorry if this was posted before but you realize that if the hog is really now 20 feet long then it going to be hard for master chief to be looking over the steering wheel...lmao...And the little spin around program thing is messed up cause on occasion it flashes to a different 'green' scene... and the little stats on the bottom have some occasional chunks popping up >_< well whatever... I cant wait for the beta!!!


how long do you think a normal veichle is??? A chevy suburban is 18' long and if you put 36" tires on a truck it would be at close 8' tall. So a 20' long 10 foot high Warthog sound awesome to me and well with in reason for a video game. Duh!

Life isn't like Halo, you don't go "Boop. Boop. Beep!" and come back alive.

Wow, people.

This is NOT the Weekly Update.
So stop complaining that the Weekly Update sucks, because it won't exist until Friday.

Just because this story shows up on the main page doesn't mean that it's the WU.
Everything that shows up on the feed on the main page is called a "Top Story." Top Stories include Weekly Updates, but they also include many other things like announcements, Humpday challenges, and features like this one. So yeah.
This is not the Weekly Update (the fact that it was posted on a Monday should have given you that clue).

sorry for doublepost but i just realized that this is the H3 weekly and i have to say that thats pretty damn lame. the updates over the past few weeks have been really lame, i can understand doing a specs report on the man cannon or the nail grenade but the warthog? i could understand if there were confirmed new usable hog types and picks and specs for them. C'mon bungie im a fiendin for me some Halo3 stuffs i needs it, these updates are my weekly untill the beta launch!! >.<


I actually think the updates lately have been pretty good. I'm personally intrested in the graphics and features that are making it into Halo 3. What more can you need to know? its not like there going to give you a release date or anything...

im 1337, i knew that

Maybe the new ghost will look like a "713" fighter?
Never thought of that myself, it would be funny, though.
Posted by: pcSrs
tie and tow the ghost with one of the new warthogs?

yes? no?

im shutting up.
that was a rather intelligent response, but it must have someting to do with the fact that your a PC!!! Lol!

im sorry, so maybe the last few updates havent sucked, some of it is pretty sweet but theres still alot of stuff that i would rather get a specs report on, such as the man cannon, nail grenade, the mortar thing on high ground etc. i just think it would have been better if the update confirmed somthing instead of hinting but thats just me, bungie can do as they please tho, cause ill still play the beta and buy my legendary pack when it arrives. btw has there been any word on the new H2 maps yet? im pretty psyched about those too.

true. but theres still months left before halo 3 comes out. there trying to spread the news out so people stay interested. they probably want to leave some of the features a surprise for when we actually play the game. The arbiter for example was never mentioned before halo 2 was released.

Sweet update! I love the warthog.

There is an indestructable warthog in Outskirts in Halo 2.
I don't mich like the idea of indestructable vehicles in Halo 3 campaign.

Dude the damaged hog looks sweet as sweet can get. I can't wait to see it in action and getting blown up or driving through a big explosion.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

Things this tells us for halo 3.
1) there could be new versions of the hog that carry passengers
2) they could make destructibility an option.
3) you get a running start when jumping out of a hog
4) the hog stops quicker when you get out.
