Subject: Warthogs are made of paper mache and glue?

Reach makes me want to gargle gasoline whiling jerking myself off with sandpaper.

Hi again, another problem. I was play some good old Big Team Battle CTF on Hemorrhage eariler, and I thought about driving the classic warthog, I usually just take the gunner seat. So I get in and honk my horn so someone will see I need a gunner, one guy ignores me and gets the Revenant >:(. So finally a dude gets in my seat and I drive towards the middle.

Couple swift turns and whatnot and my gunner is already on a spree, nice. So I do a loop around our shotgun rocks and floor it towards the middle as there is a ghost. I go a little too fast and I get huge air and fly right over the ghost, I thought I was doing so Dukes of Hazard sht right there. Out of nowhere this stray DMR round hits my front tire and suddenly me and my gunner are do fkn barrel rolls. I manage to get ourselves upright and than I start getting pegged by DMR's and we are taking huge damage somehow, I can't even control the hog with the amount of DMR fire.

I end up losing control once more and do another flip before exploding, only to get teabagged by some guest.

I want to know how this team DMRing can take down what should be a powerful vehicle, like I don't think in real life shooting a vehicle that is getting air is going to make it flip out and stuff. Did Bungie make the Warthog out of paper mache, glued it all together and gave it a nice paintjob so it looked like metal plating? What is the big deal?


Thanks a bunch,
Defiance

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL

All vehicles in Reach are made out of that.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Paper mache and glue are too heavy. Warthogs are made out of very thin layers of divine clouds.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I was driving a hog and was hit directly by a rocket and survived.

I never had a problem with the Scorpion and Wraith, and a vehicle like the Banshee makes sense since it is has a lot of firepower...

For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.

From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.

My sniper is hungry for souls.

If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

Except they're like fallen divine clouds, since the clouds are just about the biggest fail ever.

OP, you must be new to Reach. All of the vehicles are made out of cardboard. Bungie nerfed the vehicles because of how hard people whined when good Hog crews did things like run the match on Standoff.

Bungie failed epically with the Warthog physics, so the thing has almost zero rotational inertia when it's airborne. Thus, one measly DMR round is capable of making it do a barrel roll.

Once, I was driving a Warthog and some guy across the map sneezed. Next thing I knew I was part of the first Warthog crew to go to space.

Always up for REACH customs!

The Warthog is fine. Learn how to drive carefully and avoid jumps.

Nnnnnooooo, it is not. Several ton military vehicles do not do barrel rolls when struck by 7.62mm rounds. Nor do they start falling apart when they get hit with small arms.

What part of "high velocity armor piercing" is difficult to understand?

lol. You obviously have no understanding how physics works, or how real weapons work for that matter. You also clearly don't understand the Halo universe.

It doesn't matter what the caliber of the round is. In no universe, fictional or otherwise, should a bullet make a transport vehicle do a barrel roll. It doesn't matter how fast the round is travelling, or how heavy it is. DMR rounds are equivalent in caliber to modern day assault rifles. Obviously they are much more powerful and faster, but the round itself is physically comparable to that fired by an AK47.

Do you see Humvees doing barrel rolls when terrorists shoot them with AKs? No, you don't. You also don't see the Humvee falling apart, even if it gets lit by an entire squad.

I'm an MLG pro.

I use to hate the Warthog when I was an MLG pro.

  • 01.27.2012 1:00 AM PDT

No, that only happens sometimes, like when you're actually in it. I directly shot a Hog in the nose with a rocket and only the passenger died.

He was the one with the bomb, though.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

You complain about a car being flipped by rifle fire when in the same game, guys run and jump around wearing armor that weights 1,000 pounds? Seriously? Not to mention, they instantly die when in contact with water or when falling more than 7 meters?

That's because they've been genetically enhanced and specifically built and trained to use and handle that kind of armor. That makes sense. That abides by the laws of physics.

FAVs being flipped by 7.62mm rifle rounds does not make sense, even in a fictional universe. It does not abide by the laws of physics.

And the instantly dying when they X or Y thing is because it's a game. There has to be a method of preventing you from escaping the map or skipping whole parts of a level. In reality, a Spartan could fall from basically any height and be totally fine. They would, however, be screwed if they fell into deep water simply because they'd sink like a rock and wouldn't be able to swim up. They could walk back to land if that was an option, though.

Halo is not realistic, yes, but there's a difference between unrealistic and impossible.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

The scorpion must be made of a slightly stronger paper then.

  • 01.27.2012 6:33 AM PDT

theres a huge difference and idk what it s.

a few weeks ago me and my friend played on valhalla halo 3, i drove the warthog and he got gunner, now my friend is pretty average at halo but he was able to get 24 kills off that gunner and i never had a problem with the hog, i was driving full speed constantly and no amount of team shooting or jumps made me flip.

here is that game
