Subject: Warthog's being less effective in ODST now

I was thinking about the warthog in firefight, and realized that it won't be nearly as good as it was in previous halo's. the reason the warthogs are so consistantly effective is becasue you can hit the enemy hard then retreat to recharge shields, and be just as good as before. now the warthog will have a limited life span becasue its occupants have limited health. this will be a major change in warthog stratagy, especially if the black eye skull is on, you'll have to get out so often to pick up healt and recharge shields

Just thinkin...

Hmmm... Youre right. It will definetely change the strategy.

"Anyone can give up it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's the true strength."

Has it even been confirmed that there was a Black Eye skull in FireFight? If so that'd be horrible. We don't even have a shield. We have a Stanima that doesn't even have a bar. It's the red glow like in CoD.

It's always been the case that ODST will require new tactics.

Also, if the Black Eye Skull is included, it would mean your health (rather than your shields) could only be replenished by meleeing.

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

I'm guessing you will only be able to regain stamina by meleeing and your health can only be regained by health packs

It'll be interesting to see how any of the other vehicles will be used, not just the Warthog. For example, the Mongoose. The vehicle itself already has a big lack of cover, and now that you don't have any shields, it'll be interesting to see how we'll be able to make it useful since we can no longer just charge in with it.

Yes, Blackeye is in. Melee recharges your stamina I think.

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

The warthog probably has to be used as a support vehicle now. You have to have 2 guys with automags cleaning up the stunned enemies before they decide to hurl a bunch of plasma grenades at you.

Shoot Brutes from afar,And While hiding behind walls or something to hide from grenades you wait for grunts to get close, Pop out and punch in their face.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

That's why you need to be careful with your stamina. Keep using it and once the stamina in the driver and or gunner is low or depleted, retreat, let that recharge and go back in. So essentially just use the tactics you used in Halo 1.
