quoted from milla da killa: "Anyone else notice how he said the weapons can be taken off the vehicles? Imagine blowing up covies with a GAUSS that you riped off a warthog!"


... i'm pretty sure you're not going to be able to rip off a guass cannon from a warthog.... and if you could it would be way to powerful for even a spartan to handle. also, where would you keep the ammo. not to kill any ideas, but its kind of unpractical. it is a cool idea though.

"The mounted weapon includes a battery for short term operation separated from the vehicle" does this mean that the turret is detachable?

If everyone were afraid of change we'd still be playing Pong

so did anyone notice that when you rotate the hog you can find 2 hidden (accidentally or on purpose?) images with the hog in different perspectives and with a green color instead of the blue?

Acutally, I counted three interposed images on that 3D QT file.

- The "tusks" of the Warthog, courtesy of RvB.
- Driver side profile view
- Top-down view from passenger side front.

Initially, that was all I noticed when I first caught up to this article on Tuesday Morning. Having read through to this point, I'm surprised that LGKicks was the first and only person to put two and two together here regarding the string of characters:

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

x.xx could mean, where x is a variable, that a number should be palced there. That makes it 7.13.

Hard to dispute that SOMETHING is up on July 13th. Whether or not that is a release date announcement (I don't think Halo 3 will release in July, but I DO think Bungie is kind enough to tell us it will release on the XX day of November), or another render, likely of a Covenant Ghost, we'll have to wait and see. Just checked with IGN, and they have an article mentioning that the last day of what's left of E3 is July 13th:

P.S. - November 13th of this year is a Tuesday, Bungie. ;-)

i read the same article, seems like July 13 should bring something. maybe the beta will be released on that date (hopefully not, i can't wait that long). might mean that they will be presenting something at E3 for the last day. who knows?

It will be so cool if the warhog comes with PATRIOT missile so that you can shoot down banshee with homing missile of wraiths tank. Better yet, the warhog should come with a plasma cannon or laser turret. And even better, the warhog can be converted into a four seat variant with a gunner like a humvee or something.

Did any1 else notice that when you go across certain areas of the 3-d model it switches to what look like screen shots taken in a neon mode. Are they hidden easter eggs, or did sum1 think that they could be clever?

If they do decide to let us run around with warthog turrets I hope they use ammo instead of batteries like they mentioned, then you could reload and junk. (and changing batteries sounds stupid :P)

Yeah, I've driven a couple in the Halo games. For example, all the hogs in Halo are indestructible, and there IS an indestructible Hog in Halo 2...

Posted by: OdinVII
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?


THAT would be a kick-*** option...ZOMG I'd love to be able to do that in MP!

I don't think bungie did their research correctly on the speed of this thing. i know its heavy and all but hell this is set way into the future and its only pulling what was it 120kph. fair enough on dirt and stuff but it should have a faster speed on a paved road or something come on bungie do your research, i mean its got a 12 liter engince and thats its top speed is it out of tune?

  • 03.28.2007 12:15 AM PDT

Don't know if anyone mentioned this yet, but July 13th is the last day of E3. IGN has an article about it.
