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?


Yeah I'm pretty sure Bungie knows what they are talking about. It's all in the name of balance. Multiplayer games would be stupid if they had a super realistically fast Warthog. There'd be basically no way to stop it. You need to do your research before saying Bungie isn' t being smart.

The new chupathingy varients sound great, if there is one thing I love about modern games its variety. About the indestructable thing, you could just make it a toggle option when creating new game varients. I prefered the indestructable vehicles personally and when I shoot machinima I constantly have to worry about repawning vehicles. On the other hand the partialy destroyed vehicles give some other interesting options for machinima. If there were a destroyable vehicles on/off option I could chose how I set up the shots better.

Perhaps I've just not been paying attention, but has anyone thought to ponder that perhaps the muchly anticipated x button is that shield that master chief throws down in the "starry nights" vid....I haven't seen anyone mention it and the end of the M12 warthog thread has "If only there was some way to make it invincible......" With expressive dots denoting pause for thought.......Just a theory......Can't wait till beta then eh....

To add to the rocket launcher situation. I think they could have the rocket launcher only be able to lock on to covenant vehicles, seeing as they are different technologies. They could write it off as an "improvement" that was necessary because of too many friendly-fire incidents. Just a thought.

Frankie was refering to the warthog not yourself. I belive he was hinting that a new multiplayer feature to make warthogs invincible will be added. plus the x button "is not that exciting". and will be "pressed repetedly", if i had a shield gernade i would call that exciting, plus how could you press it repetedly if you only have a certin number of gernades. Im leaning to sprinting or a temperarly rasing your shields.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

The Halo REACH Script (post thoughts in thread)

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Looks like the Transport Hog is returning from the drawing board (M831 TT). Nice.

M864 A is the APC Hog from Ghosts of Onyx, not the Arctic Hog meant to be in Halo 2...though I would like both. Just call the Arctic Hog the M12LRV-A, and the Jungle hog the M12LRV-J and a possible desert one the M12LRV-D

M914 RV? Reminds me of a mix between the Civilian Warthog aka the "Golden Warthog" and the Warthogs in Halo: The Flood which took all the trailers of ammo and food from the downed PoA.

May I suggest....

M831 TT (Transport Hog)
M864 A (Armored Personnel Carrier, like in GoO)
(-A Arctic, -D Desert, -J Jungle variants of each for customization options)

M12RV (With winch)
M12LRV1 (Halo)
M12LRV2 (Halo 2)
(-A Arctic, -D Desert, -J Jungle variants of each for customization options)

M12LAAV-G1 (Gauss)
M12MAAV-R1 (Rocket)
(-A Arctic, -D Desert, -J Jungle variants of each for customization options)

I don't know if anyone noticed this but it looks to me as if bungie already has the black xbox360 elite on the webcams http://www.bungie.net/Inside/webcam.aspx

If you have a good eye like I do, you would notice that one warthog is damaged and the other is brand new! Kinda a spoiler(in its own way)

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

-HaVOk1228

Yeah, those comments regarding the detchability/ limited detached use of the turrets will send me into my thinking/ speculating mode.

Though the mention of the alternate passenger toting hog really doesn't bring any hope to me. We've all seen it before and unless I see some true gameplay, with some intensive promises I am just waiting for the release for any official new vehicles. Oh noes what if they find a way to take out vehicles and features after thew game is sold "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!".

We've decided to release this patch which will remove the atv, transport hog, all the new guns, and in fact leave you with just a graphically revamped halo 2, enjoy kids. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Awesome! It should be great in Halo 3. Wait, what am I saying...

It was great in all the Halo games!

I wonder if we could be able to switch between first-person and third-person view when in the driver, gunner, or passenger seat.

well i think that the sheild will up by the frag gernades, plasma, and spike gernades, and that you'll be able to cycle through them. Maybe, but it might take too long. Just a thought. I heard something about the x button maybe being able to take guns off of peoples backs...but then i spose you could just kill them instead....Whadda you think?

Well, to start things off, It doesn't seen like it's going 78 miles per hour. And, they better put all four into Halo 3 that would be so cool. And its 20 feet long and 9 feet wide, how big is this thing, it sure doesn't look like it in the game!

The whole message that was sent out in the Warthog Quicktime Video I dont know what it is but i turned the warthog all the way around and some point the pic will change to the top of the car and it is messed up a bit but besides that the Warthog has a message at the bottom of the screen the font is Big then small then big then small and the letters are cut in transition so u will have to piece it together, wel the whole message that has been on the bottom of the screen says "X.XX.713>ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing" which I dont know what it is.
