Mr. Rookie wants to get around New Mombassa quicker. He sees a car. He drives it.


Its perfect.


Surely they could include a mode of transport other than the Warthog.... the now uncool, ugly, slow thing....perhaps its Lexus time....what do you think?

Oh we'll have new stuff I'm sure. They pretty much confirmed that in the E3 video just a couple min ago :).

  • 06.02.2009 1:57 PM PDT

That would be cool and stupid at the same time.

For all your Hoggin' needs.

Yea, why drive the car with a turret on the back when you can drive the one with a 5-star crash safety rating?

Are you serious?

You couldn't kill a Grunt while driving a normal car, let alone Brutes or Hunters.

We should know better, because we are better.

Why Lexus? Go to the national history museum of cars and get yourself a ferrari! Spalater covenant at 150 mph!

The warthog is definately cool. Can you honestly say that if you saw someone riding the gauss hog down your street you wouldn't think it was cool or fast?

Why would you insult the warthog like this? It deserves better.

The E3 video definitely sets some idea of alternate transport. Possibly 'hogs, and mongeese.

No what they should do is upgrade the warthog to a puma.

A warthog could.

While it would be cool to have warthogs it seems like you will be alone for most of the game so you would have no gunner

So, you report people everyday for not liking their ideas? Oh, and I think they care more about big guns, so looks like you're the one who needs to STFU and
GTFO.

^^^^^^ I spelt it right! Yay for me!

Well, I guess that could be possible since Mr. Staten hinted that there are alternate ways to get around New Mombassa besides walking and the 'Hog.

I like the idea. I enjoy vehicles more for their splattering capabilities than their weaponry anyway. It would be fun to drive around a regular car and splatter anyone in my way. But I imagine that there would be a lot of cars on the streets. Staten said that you start off on foot, and there's a police car on the ground the instant that you jump out of your pod. So there's probably a more restrictive new method of transportation that you receive or unlock later on.

Oops. I think I just lost your mind.

EMP killed the ignition.

just after Halo 2 and before 3, it may have been in devlopment during 2's storyline. Also, it could be a civilian quad bike, you never know

I'm sure all the cars were wrecked by the slip space eruption. Naturally, military vehicles, being tougher, survived the blast.

Looking forward to the Elephant thing Joe mentioned.
