I know that at e3 2k4, Bungie showed us that there would be a rocket launcher on the back of the warthog, like in Halo PC. My question is, does anyone know if all of the warthogs will have rockets, or will some of them have good 'ol fashion chain guns. I would hate to see the chain guns go.

There are screens of hogs with chainguns on them. It is most likely there will be different weapons on them.

The Warthog that Master Chief was in had a guass cannon.

The Gauss cannon was replaced by the new rocket launcher most likley. But there is still a lag and there are two variations of the new rocket warthog, one has anti-aircraft capabilities (heat sinking). But the Gause cannon looks and sounds the exact same as the rocket launcher warthog and the Gauss hog has never been mentioned since the first E3. I believe it would be the most anti vehicular vehicle and at the same time it is highly manuverable. it can take out Ghosts and creeps and ground troops in 1 hit with easy and it moves incredibly fast. I believe its out so dont get any hopes up.

The guass cannon Warethog is still in the game because Joyride Studios just recently announced that they were making one for the second series of the Halo 2 action figures. EB Games has a picture of it.

listen, dont get your hopes too high,. You think bungie would make the RL warthog and the Gauss hog look and sound the exact same?
might be confusing between the 2 and you will oftenly get in the wrong one thinking its another. it was hard for me to give it up until I realized it was overpowered and the RL hogs had heat seeking mrockets too.

A.K.A "rail-gun," the gauss cannon was the thing that the MC was firing in the warthog in the E3 2k3 real time demo. I'm not sure exactly what a gauss cannon is, but a rail gun magnetically accellerates slugs at incredible high velocity or something like that.
