Give me the turret and I'll give you a killing frenzy.
Tess @ May 14th 2008 12:10PM
Exactly. A capable warthog driver makes Valhalla my turret playground.

Drivings My Thing, my Bread and Butter lies in the Hog.

Tipping the Warthog over is half the fun!
Forsaken Fury @ May 14th 2008 12:11PM
Oh man, Warthog is legend. There's a guy in our clan that practiced solely with the Hog, letting all his other skills in the game die horribly, squealing deaths just so he could pilot his gunner to +70 kill/death spreads.
It's craziness served on a lead-filled bun. I can't drive the Halo 3 version of it at all, though, it seem to always flip over at the slightest difference in terrain. A pebble? OH NO. Say hello to the gaping chasm at the edge of StandOff. :(
DemonGSides @ May 14th 2008 12:12PM
Its awesome BECAUSE it flips over so much.
Insane stunt bonus?

Best Vehicle!! Death on Wheels!
Corey @ May 14th 2008 12:13PM
Its at least a double kill maybe a triple kill waiting to happen but i love its killing power. I just miss the deathmachine it was in the beta
doug m @ May 14th 2008 12:16PM
the warthog easily takes the #1 spot for vehicles in Halo due to it's removable turrest and 3 person capacity. For your manslaughter needs, choose the warthog
Forsaken Fury @ May 14th 2008 12:58PM
The turret on a Warthog isn't removable .. o_O
Apeezee @ May 14th 2008 12:17PM
Warthog rocks. A good pair of players in it can cause some serious damage.
Mike @ May 14th 2008 12:19PM
I call driver! The warthog is the best vehicle hands down. If used properly, you could easily wipe out a whole grip of rivals :-)
Joe @ May 14th 2008 12:25PM
I love the Warthog because well its the best.
Yzzerdd @ May 14th 2008 12:30PM
The best vehicle and the most balanced because every vehicle in Halo since has been horrible or a death machine just waiting to be hit with one of 50 anti-vehicle weapons.
Eddy @ May 14th 2008 12:30PM
Cloverfield Sucked, Warthog rocks
Venas Rotas @ May 14th 2008 12:31PM
warthog is awesome when you slam into people.
Brevis Furor @ May 14th 2008 12:32PM
Me loves the warthog.
My Lunch @ May 14th 2008 12:33PM
I love the Warthog not because im good with em, but because i love throwing grenades at em. Theres nothing more rewarding than throwing a grenade in its path and watching the carnage. Of course sticking one with a sticky grenade is just as rewarding, but doesnt give me that full feel of satisfaction.
Bravo6 @ May 14th 2008 12:33PM
There's nothing better than power sliding over an entire team. Even if it's yours!
sambob117 @ May 14th 2008 12:43PM
love the warthog, it doesn't flip so much if ya know what ur doing
Dave @ May 14th 2008 12:53PM
I like that fact that when it does flip and you're gunner, the entire weight of the 'hog is placed on your cranium.
bigd7387 @ May 14th 2008 12:44PM
Nothing better than sliding into a group of grunts and hearing their cries. Good Times.
Jonman @ May 14th 2008 12:48PM
The only way the 'hog could be improved upon is if you mounted the turret from a Scorpion on the back of it.
shaolin cochino @ May 14th 2008 12:52PM
The best
B Tizo @ May 14th 2008 12:55PM
The Warthog is the best vehicle ever, just don't piss it off otherwise it will kill you as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KicJSFEgB_U
PlayHarder @ May 14th 2008 12:57PM
Good driver = Best
Bad driver = Worst
Dirty @ May 14th 2008 12:58PM
I love me some hoggin!
Shmil @ May 14th 2008 1:00PM
It's easily the best vehicle in the game, but only under two conditions. You must have a competent driver, this is most important. You must have a semi-competent gunner, someone who can stay on a target despite the turning of the driver. When you have a competent driver and a competent gunner you can wreck an entire team.
swift fix @ May 14th 2008 2:23PM
Warthog is my favorite ride. Nothing else works better in escorting your team's flag carrier.
SavageGrampa @ May 14th 2008 1:00PM
Best! The driving mechanics are insane. Way better than trying to "turn the wheels". Just point and it goes. Tail wagging all over the place. There's a turret? SPLATTER KILL FTW!
mokeusa @ May 14th 2008 1:01PM
The puma is awesome but only if there's a good driver. It makes more of a difference than a good gunner.
khamur @ May 14th 2008 1:03PM
If it wasn't prone to tipping it would be TOO powerful. I think they nailed the balance.
Kenny @ May 14th 2008 1:04PM
Once you get past the learning curve it is supreme.
wayne @ May 14th 2008 1:08PM
i love it in ctf when you can just ferry the flag carrier back and forth
Kurosh Nahavandi @ May 14th 2008 1:09PM
It's just alright for me. A little tippy like my Jeep, but the counterweighted machine gun turret does provide some nice balancing to overcome it.
Fiend75002 @ May 14th 2008 1:16PM
love the turret, but hate the flip over.
more so i hate players that don't wait untill all spots are filled on it before drving off
lysernix @ May 14th 2008 1:16PM
It's really quite grand however to fully assess the prowess of the vehicle I'd need a small replica to drive with my fingers.
Michael Paul @ May 14th 2008 1:16PM
It's the 35-point turns that annoy me. Otherwise it gets th ejob done...
Matt @ May 14th 2008 1:20PM
The warthog is fun to drive and kill with when your just playing around; like GTA my favorite part is running people down. I don't like the warthog for serious game play during slayer matches though, or the ghost. It's newb style and cheapens the game play.
SAGExSDX @ May 14th 2008 1:25PM
well if it's the gauss warthog there's no question about why it's so awesome in a combat scenario. single shot kills! in that sense its the best
however the regular warthogs are good because you get the mobility of a vehicle along with the firepower of two people, one of which is using a really big gun. i wouldn't say it's the best. but it's not the worst either.
but if i have to be opinionated. ZOMG TEH WRTHAWG IS LAME. AMIRITE. IT R PWND BY NETHING INCLDNG PLAZMA PISTL LOLZ
RudyHuxtable @ May 14th 2008 1:28PM
On a round of King of the Hill, a dude sat in the warthog turret in the hill, earning points. So I hopped in the driver's seat and drove him out of the hill.
nmmalone @ May 14th 2008 1:32PM
Gauss-Hog next?
Jigsaw hc @ May 14th 2008 1:33PM
Best - Gun on top and good speed
Neuromancer @ May 14th 2008 1:40PM
Love it, it's hilarious when it flips.
DjDATZ @ May 14th 2008 1:41PM
Turret = Win.
Kamal @ May 14th 2008 1:44PM
I call it the Covenant Mower! What do you think?
ZEBRA NINER @ May 14th 2008 1:51PM
It's the best vehicle when you have a competent team mate to operate the gun. It's the worst when you are alone, because it's little more than transport.
Now, onto the prize. This is cool, but I want a mongoose!!!!
Mike @ May 14th 2008 1:54PM
They need to do a Double XP weekend which simply rotates the maps with Warthogs. Slayer or Objective, doesn't matter.
Edicius @ May 14th 2008 2:01PM
With me in the seat and my boy on the turret there aint no stopping us...Unless you got a laser.
TallSmalley @ May 14th 2008 2:01PM
I love the warthog for it's speed and passenger room.
