hey guyz if you listen to the noise that the sounds the gun makes in in the 2003 E3 video and the noise it makes in the 2004 E3 video, it sounds almost the same, so mabey they just hadnt add's the smoke trail by the 03 E3

No its not a rocket luancher the barrels to thin you stand directly behind it(on RL hog you stand offf to the left a lil) and up close(on RL hog you stand back a bit cause of kickback) plus there is a veiw reticle on the RL The explosion on the Rail gun is green and the round it launches is staight and narrow.

I don't see how anyone could say it's a rocket launcher...

It's most likely a gauss or rail gun. A railgun would make more sense because they seem more practical in this day and age, at least - you can get much higher velocities from them than anything else, as I believe Kamizar noted (you did say that, didn't you?) .

If they're "mini-MACs" then I'm inclined to say it's most likely a gauss/coil gun due to the fact that the MAC guns appear to be gauss guns as they use magnetic coils and ferric tungsten shells. Though nothing has ever been said about the MAC rounds having a magnetic field like gauss rounds...

making a railgun that small would be one helluva feat, its possible but has to be far to cost prohibitive to mass produce them and place them on hog backs. plus the noise the thing makes doesent sound like its from a rail gun. sure its still possible but I dont know... Im thinking heavily modded gauss, since its the future gauss weaponry could have been advanced more to be like that, but then again you never know. I am going to check that video again to see what I can get out of it...

If anyone's interested, there is an awesome website concerning EM-weapons at powerlabs.org.

Well it could be a mini MAC gun, I mean the regular MAC guns on ships take a few minutes to recharge, but the ones orbiting Reach can fire a shot every 5 seconds if they wanted. And scince a MAC gun that small wouldnt take that long to charge it could be possible, but I think its a gauss rifle

[color=lime]I DIDNT EVEN READ ONE WORD OF THIS ENTIRE THREAD BUT I HAVE THIS TO SAY:::

Its a -blam!- rocket launching hog!!!! WTF is guass???? You people that are talking about it, do you know if such a thing even exists??? ITS A ROCKET LAUNCHER. If it wasnt Bungie would be stupid to make two identical hogs, that do the EXACT same thing but the noise is different???

If the gun on the back of the wathog in the 2003 demo is a guss thingy how do you explain that in the 2004 demo the sound is the same AND THEY LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME! the guy said it was a ROCKET LAUNCHER warthog NOT this guss thing people keep talking about. DERRRR!!!

This debate is not going to be settled very easily. Will just have to wait untill halo2 comes out. Then will find out who was wrong and who was right?

the warthogs from the 03 and 04 trailer look exactly the same but fire entirely differnt things. the one from 03 fires some sort of bullet. no explosions come from missed shots, therefore not a rocket launcehr but the warthog from the 04 trailer clearly fires rockets. now maybe bungie reworked the hog to fire proper rockets, considering its been over a year in-between the two trailers, maybe they dident like the way the weapon in the 03 trailer worked, who knows. All I know is that in the 03 trailer it is NOT a rocket launcher.

You should've. You would've learned a thing or two...maybe.

OK, first you declare it's a rocket launcher, then you ask what a gauss is and then you admit that you don't even know if a gauss exists!?!
I posted a website earlier, it's powerlabs.org. Someone else in here even said he owned a gauss gun. Next time, instead of pulling a 'drive-by posting', why don't you read the rest of the thread so you don't sound so ignorant ;)

I think the Top Secret Covenant Alien is going to be the one that can flip the warthogs. I agree with the gauss cannon thing because on the e3 video it is not a rocket launcher.
they said that the elites could flip warthogs not something censored
and, one of the mods, forget his name said that there was no gauss gun

All of you should chill out.

The warthog in the E3 2003 demo was not the same kind as the one in the Zanizibar E3 2004 demo. As is often the case during the development of a game, things change a lot. Just because we showed one doesn't mean the shipping game will have it, and just because we changed something for a demo doesn't mean it won't come back later. This isn't anything new. You'll have to wait until November 9th to see what the final result will be.
