THAT SPARE IS NOTHING LIKE THE ACUAL TIRES! TAKE A LOOK AT THAT SPARE IN THE SECOND PIC [beutiful pic] HONESTLY! WHAT WERE U SMOKING!!!
honest mistake, and a common one. i forgive u for the beutiful long await update [for me]
and, kee an eye out for those kinds of thins :P


? I'm not sure what you mean, it is the exact same geometry as the wheels on the vehicle, in fact it's actually just an object that references an outside file so it's impossible for it to be any different... what are you smoking????

Is this an in-engine render? Tell me it's an in-engine render!??


Sorry boys these are 3ds Max renders with tweaking in Photoshop. The hog is basically game geometry with some minor tweaks and a few polys added. The rims were modeled by Robt McLess and each have about 250,000 polygons, which as Robt put it "that's more polygons than every model I've ever built".
As for any other purposes the existence of these renders have, well...

It would be sooo awsome to have your own warthog. Imagine the looks you would get pulling into Cobequed Educatuional Center with one of thouse (not to mention the chicks you'ld pick up)

So, where can I get one?

I think that one of the automotive manufactures should actually build a concept Warthog. That would be cool.


[b] I'm not kidding. Check this out!!!!!!

Yeah thats pretty cool, but its still not a Warthog. Warthogs dont have doors or side glass. But I guess the VW is as close as it gets right now.

Anyone notice how it says you can't hear the road or engine inside anymore because of it's enhanced features? Then did you notice there are no doors let alone windows. Must be some crazy tech in that hog.

last couple of days i been reading halo first strike and halo the flood good books. Dr.Hasley

  • 06.29.2004 8:03 PM PDT

wasnt there a yellow hog like that in nitrousoxide's halo 2 mod?just asking.

  • 06.29.2004 8:40 PM PDT

I read through that and the first thing that i noticed was that there are many hints that these warthogs will acctually be in the game, the main was when frankie mentioned that the in hog music can be networked from home hinting that the civilian hogs are going to be in the game and that you will be able to access the music on your xbox. it also saaid that the person in the side seat or (passenger seat) wll be able to use their own music, maybe meaning you can play co-op over the net and each be able to use your own music.

Yeah thats true but they always played the HALO music in the old HALO and I think that it might take away from the game as your driving around listing to your favorite band. The only plae that they should play music is in multiyplayer.

Heh that was pretty cool I'll admit, and they might provide some good transport if they're in the game, just one question:

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WHEN YOU'RE BEING FOLLOWED BY BRUTES ON GHOSTS? THROW THE SPARE TIRE AT 'EM?!

I think I'll take my rear mounted rail gun over a tire thank you :)
