It did say it in the magazine. I can understand them maybe saying that it was the left trigger when it was not but they couldn't accidentily say that it could boost. Not when they were saying they boosted while playing it. If they are wrong then they deliberatley lied. I doubt that.

he gave a hands-on experience. which means he played it. he goes on to explain when he was soaring through the air a big light came which turned out to be a rocket and vlew him up. its not just that he is speculating he actually got into the warthog and used it. and i have heard from other people that have played it at E3 that it does boost.


shut the hell up you moron, if he was wrong he would not loose his job, he would just be disrespected by his cowerkers and comagazines. It may or may not have a boost, and i know the staff of OXM has played a multiplayer match against a few of the bungie staff with the beta version, also a certain number of bungie employees got to take home a beta version and test it out for like a month then regretably had to send it back. I subscribe to OXM aswell and yes it is exciting to hear rumors from them about halo 2 like new vehicles, level descriptions, that may or may not be true. Just wait for November 9th or wait until the word about new stuff comes out of bungies mouth before flapping your gums.

why would you waist a trigger button on a horn and probley a click down on the left thumbstick. I have the OXM, there is a boost function on what he played, he played it you didnt, there could be a boost on L-trigger, that would be a better idea than to waist on a stupid horn.

Yes it is because the game they played at E3 was made by bungie, that means they put it in the game so it is official.

Here is the exact quote of what the guy said

"Jumping in a Warthog and taking off to the enemy base. Yeah done that before. Hitting the Left Trigger to inject the Nitro like power boost , screaming up a ramp and soaring majestically over a wall on tragectory for the heart of the enemy base. Wow. That was new, and oh so sweet.

Now in that silent serenity of mid air flight I see a light glow dead ahead. The next fraction of a second seems to take a whole minute. The light grows bigger. The slow realisation that it's an incoming rocket creeps into my mind. Still powered by my boost fueled leap , I could not turn, dodge, or duck. Impact. And now a new mid air dynamic, sailing magestically, arms flailing, Hundereds of feet back to the beach, landing in a heap. Awesome."

Those were his exact words. It sounds obvious to me that there is a boost. They were playing at E3, It states it in the magizine. If this does not convince you that there is a boost then God have mercy on your soul.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

Then why has the developer not put it in the FAQ. This discused the Ghost boost and the other features of the Warthog. Maybe the guy from OXM said Warthog, but meant Ghost.

Warthogs have boosts i never new it before but the kid that started this was right i read that part of the august issue just now and he does actually say that althought it was the new editor and chief who said it and he looks kinda old so i cant fully take his words for truth although i would believe its 100% if the original editor and chief said it.
