Hey everyone, just was curious as to what people thing about all these variants of the warthog. not sure if they are all in the game but it would be cool. But what is its usefulness. i mean for example the troop warthog that has no weapons but extra space for more troops. just not sure how this is put into play i guess. remember the warthog in halo 1 and the way it handled on AOTCR ? on the snow it was a lil slippery so i see the need for maybe a tank tread version. what are your guys thoughts on this.

ps. do you think there will be variants of other vehicles.?

Nah. The Differ warthogs are snowhog,troophog,junglehog,chaingun warthog, gaussgun warthog, and weaponless warthog(maybe).

Well there is already a snow mobile type version of the warthog based on screens from over a year ago, along with the jungle warthog which has better overall traction, and the transport warthog.

About variantes for other vehicles, i think it would depend on the vehicle in question. Ghosts always handel the same despite the terain, same with all of the aerial vehicles, so there doesn't seem to be a point in having variants to those vehicles. any vehicle that has tires would seem like the better candidate for alternate types of the same vehicle. In the end though i really don't care all that much. There more vehicles in the game the happier i'll be, especially if you can customize completely which vehicles each team starts off with.

But customization is really the key word when it comes to muliplayer, it would definately be nice to be able to have more options when creating certain gametypes. Starting equipment, how many clips you get when picking up a new weapon, complete control of the weapon set for the level, which vehicles each team spawns with. all of the little things that we had no control over in halo:CE.

Weaponless hog is the troop hog. As for its uses, it would presumably be used as a transport, to quickly move team members across the map. and I sure hope other vehicles will have variants

Thats not a grenade launcher, thats the gauss cannon or railgun (whatever you want to call it)

I have to admit, I don't see much point to the Snowhog in a map like Sidewinder. I'd rather be slipping and sliding on the ice with a LAAG turret. Mind you, a Snowhog would provide you with quick transport and portable cover if no other warthog variant wasn't available.

Oh, and it's not a grenade launcher warthog. It's Gauss Gun.

hate to burst everyone's bubbles, but that gausshog. its the rocket hog. watch the e3 2004 vid, and you will see that the gunner turret looks exactly like it did in the e3 2003.

umm......No. That Warthog is from the book The Flood, and it is like a gauss cannon but I dont remember what they called it exactly. Its not the rocket hog though.

Given that the players no longer take damage unless shot direclty I think the transport hog will be awesome. 4 in the back with a driver and passenger. Imagine driving into a hot zone and fishtailing the hog out so suddenly 4 fully healthy spartans jump out followed by the passenger and driver. Friggin awesome.
