i know they have made a graphic of some new warthogs almost last year, but so far i havent heard a peep from bungie about them since then, let alone see them used in any of the multiplayer footage. I am astounded that not one, in of any of the interviews i have read this year, has asked about the new warthogs in the picture because there is still much to be elaborated on.
is it that it will only be implemented in the single-player mode??
or has Bungie scrapped this idea?? (I'm seriously doubting)
i wouldn't understand why bungie wouldn't use any of the new hogs - not even the similar-looking camouflage one? - in multiplayer.
I have not even heard this mentioned in any kind of speculation conversation, either.
so lend an idea or two, won't ya?

I think they will only have the Hog with the Machine Gun, and the Hog with the Plasma Cannon, and a different Hog will be downloadable.

And... the hog with the rocket since thats all that Bungie has even shown us video wise. Amazingly enough we haven't even seen a chaingun hog yet... but we will soon enough.

Hmm... If I'm right about some part of Halo 2 being played on the Covenant homeworld witch may be an ICEPLANET I't's possible that you may use the "SnowWarthog" but I dunno about MP

So far all we have for the UNSC on the Warthog is the M41 LAAG (seen at E3 2003), the Rocket Launcher (seen at E3 2004), and the Gauss Cannon (seen at E3 2003). No plasma weapons at all.

I think I know where the rumor about the Plasmacannon comes from.
In one of the E3 Movies I have seen MC rides and warthog driven by an AI and when he hits the enemy the gun makes a strange sound and also it looks like some kind of Plasmaexplotion

If your talking to Hikaru then he's actually stating a fact.... The guns in the Halo2 video at e3 2003 show a Gauss cannon, the LAAG and the video at e3 2004 shows the Rocket launcher, you cant have an opinion on this. Its like having an opinion that the shotgun is a sniper rifle!

*EDIT* to the guy who posted before I did, that is the Gauss Cannon!

Does anyone have any oppinion about this?

Even if we dont go to the Covenant homeworld we might have to fight in Alaska, which seems more likely to me as the Covie homeworld sounds close to impenetrable!
Also about your signature Echo 513, it appears in Halo2 the Pelicans have a gun turret! If you have the video watch as MC and the ODST's dismount from their dropship!

Problem is thre is more than one Covenant homeworld and attacking one would spell the doom of the human species (as if we aren't already -blam!-)

I know the Grunt homeworld is icy, but I like the idea of fighting in Alaska, or maybe Antartica better. After all the Covenant are known to attack the poles. Especially since we keep most of our Super MAC generators around the poles.

It would seem odd to have an alien-based weapon (plasma) on a human-made vehicle wouldn't it?

well so far i've only seen the one picture with the 4(four) different warthogs in it together which are the 1. Original from Halo 2. original with camouflage 3. the snowhog with treds and 4. the transport hog with no weapons, just a roll cage in the back for transport.

has any one heard anything recently about these?

well i've now eralized from the file name of the graphic, that these indeed are only concepts and may not even be used at all, but i hope some of them make it into the full game, though

yeah but they have a capital world just like we have the U.S. has D.C. In first strike you are taken to that capital and it seems that it would be impenetrable (sorry for spelling errors)

I expect the different hogs will be available logically in sp and mp

ie: in a level like sidewinder there will be snow hogs, in a level like blood gulch, there will be beige hogs(or camo or somehting)

Yeah and it is caled, "High Charity" at least I think that is the Covenant capital. I got that impression from First Strike's epilogue.

Maybe but I kinda liked how difficult it was too handle on the ice, and that only good drivers could really cut it on the ice!
And I love the idea of camoflaging a big noisy vehicle
"Dont you think they'll hear the engine"
"Ah dont worry we're painted the same colour as the sand!"
