I think It would be a good idea. I mean who doesnt want to carry 6 people in a warthog. But the thing that would change is the warthog would have to change a little bit. It would need a bigger bed and 2 extra tires with the rear ones but ultimately it would be great. It could have one of those .30 caliber turrets mounted in a swivel turret on top. So vote and flame away!

Yes but it must be limited to prevent it from becoming a fast tank.Like making the hog slow and low steering ability.Also the gun would have to be basic as in not as powerful as a regular hogs turret.

Hence the .30 caliber turret. Its pretty small. Smaller than the warthog turret. And i think it should be fast, but just slightly under the warthogs speed.

I assume you referring to either....

A: The Transport Warthog concept drawing for Halo 2, lined up next to other variants of the Warthog including the Gauss, Snow, and Camouflage variants.

B: The Transport Warthog described in the books.

I was really hoping to see it in Halo 2, and was quite sad when I hadn't. Now i'm hoping to see it and other variants in Halo 3!

Ahem Hence the armor feature. Rocks, only do 1/2 the damage they usually do then.

It wouldnt need a turet, just make it so you could shoot from it, have your driver, person riding shot gun and four or five in the back able to shoot...that would be intense.

yes, but the weapons would have to be 1 strong gun, or (x) weaker machine guns

I've been wanting this forever!!! Sometimes i think playing a type of support role, like medic or transport is really fun, i get some enjoyability out of it. All i do in Star Wars Battlefront is transport other players...thats it...cuz i love it so much.

But ya definately a transport hog, one that looks like the Bat Mobile in Batman Begins

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

How about a hog with a trailer!!!! not really though.

They already have a transport Hog, it's called Spectre.

it sounds weird but one of the things i was most excited about was the supposed variety of vehicles that were supposed to be in halo 2, you talk about it must hae low calber weapons, but a single turret to defend 8-10 marines isn't much, plus you take the risk of a couple of lucky tank hits killing everyone at once, so it is fairly balanced, plus i liked the idea of the various warthogs all with differnent positives and negatives, and the little quad bike with the mini turret and space for one passengerjavascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("postForm$skin$submitButton" ;, "", true, "", "", false, true))

Instead of a transport hog, what about an APC. Well armoured for protection, with the ability to carry 8-10 troops, it could be armed with a coax machine gun like the one on the Scorpian MBT. It would have tracks instead of wheels.

Oh and the Empire would totally crush the Imperium...I mean come on Vader has a theme song! Does the Emperor have one?!? I think not!

What something like this

Wakka Wakka Wump!
No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

i would like it so that u can take an enemy base by suprise,no turrets but speed,and lots of it

  • 07.21.2006 6:50 AM PDT

I go by many names, Shinigami, osiris, thanatos, Ares are but a few. But my name is not important for i am god and i am coming for you.

i am a master of my trade with these two hands i create great works. What is it i do?? ... well lets hope for your sake you never find out.

Like guns?? so do we, join Halo Armory and you can too

hell yes is my answer :P it should have thicker armour but no onboard weapon systems to balance it holding like 4 or 5 people.

  • 07.21.2006 7:09 AM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

It should have no turret, instead the space would be used to hold like 4 people. One would drive, and one would be in the passenger seat for cover (the passenger could have an automatic stationary gun). Armor walls should be on the side of the holding area where the 4 people would be. The driver and passener should be open to fire. The speed should be the same, I don't see how 4 people should be that much heavier then a large gauss gun. Then then, speed could be reduced. There should like 1 transport hog, one normal hog, and one gauss hog per team, if the max player count is 16 per game.

Love you Bungie!
Still playing Halo1 Custom Edition!

the halo 2 concept art version ( [url]http://bungie.net/Games/Halo2/gallery.aspx?gallery=Rende rs&page=1[/ulr] )
just suits the need for balance; without beeing a pelican it can carry 4 people behind it, one passenger and one driver. the passenger seat canshoot his own gun, most likely samething for the 4 rear seats. it's not a pelican, but it's a good action transport that's not overgunned but also not outgunned( it NEEDS to be first person in all seats but drivers :) ) it's steering also needs to be a little harder than a regular hog, and it's speed should also be lowered a little( especially when carrying 4 marines at the back)

So there is a balance between the hogs, it shouldnt have a turret, but passengers should be able to defend it with there weapons so is has some form of defense!
