What do you guys think there should be for new Warthog weaponry? Chain gun, Rockets, and Gauss Cannon. Should the Rocket Warthog from Halo PC be put in Halo 3, even though its not nearly as usable as the Gauss Cannon?

Also, what about the other warthog varieties like the transport hog? Maybe thats the answer for the "dropship" controversy. The Transport hog could take 4 other passangers on the back instead of the turret, 1 player in the front passenger seat and 1 driver for a total of 6 players per hog. Maybe on the larger maps of Halo 3 there could be 4 Warthogs per team. 2 transport hogs, 1 Gauss hog, and 1 Chain hog. The Gauss and Chain Hogs could protect the 2 transport hogs in transit, kinda like a convoy.

And if Halo 3 supports 32 players then both transport Hogs could be used and transport up to a total of 12 players across the map.

I think this idea would definitly solve the whole dropship being unbalanced thing

I'm sorry for the double posting in the other form, i accidently posted in the wrong form so please forgive and forget and give my idea a chance. thanks

Don't post the same thing in diff forums, you can get in trouble. I found this out the hard way.

I think a convoy type of idea would definetly be more fun then just a giant dropship now that i think about it more. Just picture this.. huge desert terrain type map with two bases. Each team has their own convoy.. they can break off into their own routes when under attacked, it sounds alot more exciting than one dropship getting shot down with 16 people inside or whatever. I think Bungie will go with the convoy idea more than the dropship approach.

thanks, just hope people would have some suggestions on how to make it better or so.

No offence, but it stinks. The Rocket Hogs in the Halo 2 Beta were rubbish too. I drove one, and my gunner blew us both up when he fired at a wall...

Gauss and rocket hog are basically the same, but the Gauss turret keeps shooting!
Transport hog, camo hog and the snow hog would be nice.

I was just trying to solve this how Dropship balance problem with just making smaller transport vehicles. And i know this idea would only work if the number of players on the map increased so there would be more targets for the rocket and sniper players. Maybe the Transport Hog could have a metal covering on its back instead of like a canvas type material, and maybe the rocket would kill different amounts of people in the vehicle depending on where it hits them. For instance if the rocket hits the front of the warthog then the driver and passanger and maybe one of the people in the back die (the rest of the players that survive will have half their shields gone, if the rocket its the side of the Warthog maybe there would be a 40% chance that everyone in the vehicle will die. And if it is hit directly in the back then all those in the back of the Warthog will die and the front passanger seat player and driver survive (with 3/4 of their shields). I think this way of the Transport Hog taking hits from different angles killing a certain number of players would not make it a easy as a target as people might think. Also it might make players take alittle bit more time learning how to use the rocket launcher instead on just locking on and letting it fly :)

I voted everything because they're all pretty good ideas but now that I think of it Bungie would only create something that can only be used in multiplayer. Kinda dumb that. But anyway I enjoy the original hog and don't like the Gauss Cannon. I enjoy grabbing a Hog with a gunnner + passenger with rocket launcher and that solves all my covie problems.

1) Punctuation and grammar. PLEASE!

2) Its an interesting idea, but i feel a pelican would be better suited for this. It will be an interesting addition to Halo 3 to have a human flight vehicle rather than just another ground vehicle.

if they make big maps (and i mean really big maps, 10 times bigger then anything in halo 2)
then drop ships would be really needed, but on smaller maps like coagulation and water works a transport hog would be really good,
if you do some searching on google images for halo apc warthogs and stuff on about the fourth page for one of them there are some renders for a snow hog a transport hog and a camo hog that i think were for the halo rts.

I play Halo PC more than Halo 2, since I don't have an Xbox or a 360. The Rocket Launcher with its 3 missiles and 4 second reload is ok, for those sneak up moments but I would really prefer the Gauss Cannon.
