Bungie has posted an article detailing the new Mongoose ATV set to make its debut in Halo 3. The article reads more like an army field report, which is kind of interesting (especially if you're a Halo-verse geek). Long story short, the Mongoose is fast and should feel right at home to fans of the Warthog. The article also mentions a few strategies that utilize a Mongoose. As you would expect, the fast (but unarmed) Mongoose is best for securing objectives (flags, bombs, etc.). For example, each base in Valhalla has two Mongooses (Mongeese?). Get your team on both Mongooses (two driving, and two riding "brokeback") and hightail it to the enemy base. Grab the flag and meet your Mongoose at the rendezvous point (this could be behind the base or at the Mancannon landing zone). Voila, captured flag. Hit the "read" link to check out the article and see some new images of the Mongoose.

"Some fellas piss and moan about the M274’s lack of offensive capability"
yeah.. because not even being able to shoot your sidearm while sitting on it is not "fun." Fun, is a commonly sought after concept in the creation of many video games, despite conflicting reports on this issue.

“The first thing everybody does is yank the front cargo cage – if you were to carry anything on it your forward visibility would be obstructed out to about six meters – that and less weight equals more speed… anyway it’s the first thing everybody does.”
Neat! It comes with a basket in front of the handlebars. Good thing, too, because I'll be riding around in Halo 3 with my purse and make-up and I need a place to put them in my Mongoose.
