wheres thw wARTHOG???? i use the hog as my fav weapon. or i go for the pistol, or shotty, or sniper, or AR, or......
lol.Assuming you're not taking the liquid excrement...
Warthog is a very subpar choice of weapons if you're not worried about getting cheap kills.
For one, you either don't have a passenger, meaning you have no guns to shoot with, or you DO have a passenger, in which case he'll be getting all your kills (And you ARE only interested in kills, otherwise you'd see the warthog as a transport for the flag carrier instead of a weapon).
Secondly, you're easily flipped by a grenade, since you're so near the ground and so large. That'll take off most of your health or outright kill you. And since everyone's going to be gunning for you since you're so carelessly dangerous... low, low life expectancy.
Thirdly, friendly fire is a female dog. You run people over so easily in that thing it's not funny. Hellooooo autoban!
Now, in a pinch you can use a hog. But if there's other options available, you should use them - a tank, for example, has an excellent long range weapon, and less prone to being flipped (though is still vulnerable to explosions) and a ghost is much more manuverable AND can fire AND can avoid being flipped much more easily because of the small size.
But the whore-king weapon of the battlefield is, and remains, the banshee. IT FLIES. No more running into your teammates so easily (since you stay off ground level until you see the enemy), striking from behind and above, FUEL ROD, plasma... the only problem is that it draws fire even more than a hog, but most people can't shoot worth solid excretion, so if you dive for cover once in a while you're good as Au.
tl;dr warthog sux, banshee is awes0me!!11
