Well if it's from OXM I guess it's pretty official. Sounds good.

Nah with the horn and the handbrake I think they're doing it to make up for the boost... And by the way, you've been playing too much Need For Speed.

Come on, NOS in a military off-road buggy? That's like bananas and scissors.

the ghost is a military off road vehicle and it has a boost which is just like NOS. also NOS is modern-day. need i remind you how far in the future halo 2 is?

[sarcasm]well i guess it must be official considering how reliable oxm is on there info. i mean they are the ones that confirmed boost for the warthog and the ability to duel wield battle rifles and plasma swords[/sarcasm]

The Ghost uses a fusion pile which can be sent into overdrive by injecting more anti-matter into the flame holder. The Warthog uses a overhead cam dual linear drive, which is limited to 2477 rpms because of physics- so no overdrive.

Wow... Stormy 151... I don't mean to flame you, but it is just a video game. All that jibberish really doesn't matter.

.... so where does the flux capacitor kick in?

On topic: I'm betting the ATV will have some sort of offroad overdrive (probably not.. but its always possible) to compensate for the ghost. and pretty sure the covie's version of the warthog (I forget the name) wont have a boost feature.. besides; it seems that all of the one-manned vehicles will boost anyway

maybe you need to read it a little slower then. cause the way they worded it confused a lot of quick-to-conclusion gamers. they meant use the plasma swords and battle rifle and dual wielding in general. also just maybe in the build they played the warthog had a boost. anything is possible. bungie could have put one in it just to test.

It would be cool if you could turn on the radio in the warthog; or steal the keys so only you can use it. and then make fun of the other guys because you are the designated driver, and they are a bunch of drunken bastards.

im not sure but i thought the reason magazine editors went to journalism school was so they could learn to communicate so that all can understand what the mean and so they dont word stuff strangely. Hmmm maybe i was wrong that or it was a waste of four years
