Subject: Can we have an actual Warthog convoy?

Golf Wang. Brony.

You've probably heard/ read it before. "In Tsavo Highway, Master Chief leads a Warthog convoy straight to Voi" or "In Uplift Reserve, Dutch and some marines drive Warthogs as they try to survive". Something like that.

But it never happens. When you play the game there's usually just two Warthogs, your's and some random marine. If you're lucky, that is.

Most of the time there just aren't that many Warthogs to begin with. That, or when your human buddies get into one they drive a couple meters before stopping. It doesn't matter how many times you flip over that Warthog, bump them forward, or honk your horn, they never cooperate. [i call it failed UNSC management]

So what do you think? Perhaps five, maybe seven Warthogs on screen, with Mongooses, Scorpions, and an Elephant thrown in...and they can actually keep up you? Perhaps they'll just be there to be massacred by a Scarab or something. I bet Reach is just crawling with humans and Warthogs.

Thoughts?

Agree 100%

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.

I hope Reach is crawling with humans and Warthogs.


Fix'd.

And yeah, I want some ultra scenarios too.

Alright, and you can program the AI to go along with it :P

Yeah. The way I see it, the ally AI doesn't really have to think, per se. They just need to be fixated on you or scripted in certain parts of the game.

On a side-note, marines shouldn't be dumbed down. They should instead get a damage reduction?

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

This got me thinking. What if there was a convoy level where you lead a line of armor (warthogs, tanks, hell maybe even some Halo Wars vehicles) on your way to help defend a mac generator. Along the way you have to defend your convoy (maybe you'll be in a hornet?). If you mess up (fail at protecting) vehicles in that convoy will blow up. Then when you finally get to your destination your convoy will fight the covenant on a large scale, and depending on how many vehicles in your convoy remain will determine whether you win the battle (and what ever help you can muster).

cool idea

I would love to see Halo Wars vehicles make appearances in a FPS. Cobras, wolverines, sparrowhawks, grizzly tanks would be pretty awesome to use.

Though for a sparrowhawk and grizzly would be extremely rare due to their power, or have multiple seats. Like one person flys/drives while the other person controls the weapons.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

The lack of AI worries me the most. Even the 2 or 3 warthogs could feel like something if AI drove and shot smart.

Adding a few warthogs is quite easy, but with this bad AI it doesn't matter if we have 100 Warthogs. Only 1 will get to finish line, if I'm driving it.

I believe he's going with a large scale convoy...

Posted by: Hylebos
A convoy is a group of vehicles (of any type, but usually motor vehicles or ships) traveling together for mutual support and protection. Often, a convoy is organized with armed defensive support, though it may also be used in a non-military sense, for example when driving through remote areas.

Two warthogs watching each other's asses seems to fit the definition to me.

We've kinda already had one. Remember the Covenant?

You can get convoys of Hogs in H3 and ODST..... It requires a lot of setting up and I absolutely hate it when the Hogs suddenly stop. I spend a lot of time in Campaign bumping hogs to get them moving again, they eventually do but I really had hoped this bug would have been sorted out since it first appeared in H2.

Right before a scarab fight on the ark in H3 there's a whole mess of warthogs and scorpions remember?

  • 11.13.2009 4:51 PM PDT

It would definetly give an awesome feeling to the game.

Eh, that was a little lack luster... More like, going through Tsavo Highway in a convoy often warthogs...

The ark?


If you have four players, then yes that'd be a decent convoy of the type the OP would like, as well as me.

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

It would be cool to see lot's of vehicles going together, a real show of force.

The coolest mission from CoD4 was Charlie Don't Surf because of all the Blackhawks in the beginning, and the mission in Gears of War 2 in which all those derricks are heading to Landown is very cool as well.

  • 11.13.2009 5:15 PM PDT

The vehicular battles on The Ark and The Covenant were awesome. Reading this thread, what came to my mind is a convoy with some speed.

THAT would be a different experience. Have the speed of the last levels from Halo 1 and 3 with half a dozen other warthogs with you. A long, mostly linear level with lots of low road/high road scenarios and just blast and splatter your way through Covenant lines.

Air support would be cool too, but the Hornet moves too slow for my taste.

you're naut cookin'

Ever since I read The Flood novel about what happened on Installation 04 I've wanted a big convoy like the one they had to transport all the equipment from The Pillar of Autumn.
