Subject: Passenger Warthog

if the passenger warthog is going to be in halo reach i think somethings need to change. first of all, i think human players should be able to sit in the back to make online play a lot more fun. this would also make transportation a lot quicker since the warthog hauls. and i think that when players sit in the back they should sit right to make more room. add comments and tell me what you think!

I just think it is quite hilarious how 500 years in the future, we still have a jeep.

And the mongoose, as my friend puts it:

"No comment"

And yes, I do agree with you, I love the troop hog. But both Humans and Elites should be able to use it.

I agree with sitting in the back.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

It should only fit 2 players in the back though, you get speed, and one extra passenger, in exchange for your turret. It would work fine for MP.

Load it up with a Sniper, Rocket Launcher and a Spartan Laser and you have a pretty damn good Hog :D

Make sense in MP, seems balanced to me, I guess it'l just be left up to Bungie.

Ever heard of the idiom "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"?

It makes no sense strategically to put all your team in an easily rocketable or laserable vehicle and drive across the map to get slaughtered. I'd rather have a normal warthog cover my ass as I run around on foot than ride in a troop hog.

I mean, divide and conquer, if you are only attacking in a single direction, that attack is predictable, and is not going to work. Its like on Vahalla, if the other team is only attacking by mongoosing around to the back of the base, its an easy game to defend on, you just grab a spiker and smg and slaughter them.

Sure, the troop hog could make it into the game for forge for machima use, but don't expect it to be in regular matchmaking at all.

The troop hog is FASTER though, so like I said, you are sacrificing SAFETY, for SPEED... I've heard of another situation you can do this... it's called FLAG RUNNING.

So, an 8 foot spartan in armor that weighs half a ton, should fit inside a slot that's meant for a 5-6 foot marine who weighs around 80 kg? Lol flawless ain't it?

No the Spartan should fill THREE slots, which is why there would be TWO that could fit in the back, as opposed to the SIX Marines that CAN fit.

So a spartan that weighs as much as 6 marines. And is 2 feet taller than a marine is should fit in the back. + with another spartan?
If 2 spartans can fit on a Mongoose, 4 can DEFINITELY fit in a Warthog.

how about instead of a passenger hog, they could have an ammo hog?! like instead of a turret, there would be a large compartment on the back with weapon slots, itl be amazing!

there could also be a covenant version too. imagine a ghost that is slightly bigger and has a bigger body (somewhat like a wraith). it could hold weapons too. like a movable weapons crate.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”
