Could a front-mounted weapon warthog, taking the chain-gun from the back and putting two smaller versions on the side of the hood, be useful?
This then allows the driver to have access to the weapons without switching seats, adding a bit more flavor to the traditional warthog design. Replacing the chain-gun can be an extra seat, or maybe an entirely new tool all together, a grappling hook? Maybe a launch pad to help teammates reach areas and cover distance quicker between fire fights?
The reason is simple: most people want to shoot in a warthog and not everyone is a half-way decent driver with great communication skills, it’d be the UNSC version of the Ghost while still having the ability to transport other Spartans. An upgraded version of the gun-goose, but without the high explosive rounds, larger transport capacity, and quicker machine guns on the side.
Thoughts? (Please don’t hurt me, I don’t intend to break the video game or make anyone think too hard, so if that’s an issue, I apologize ahead of time.) Thanks!
That’s not a bad idea.
What would be cooler would be if it had 2 chain guns in the front and the rear passenger coud control an EMP cannon.
It isn’t a bad idea, and would at least be better than 343’s rainbow of Warthogs. I personally wouldn’t use it, though.
But if you were to make it a human vehicle with a front-mounted machine gun called the Warthog, why can’t we just bring in the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Also known as the Warthog. It’ll be perfect! The GAU-8 Avenger could tear through almost anything (Depleted uranium FTW) with ridiculous accuracy and it would have plenty of armor. Just place it at REQ level 8 and watch the Banshees come crashing down.
Awesome! That’d be a great req idea!

Haha I did, bit then I didn’t see where the idea fits besides current warthogs/gungooses.
A hook or ladder, i can see being used the get out of the maps or other places people arnt meant to be. And how long does it really take to drive up an armoury or base?
I mean, an oni gungooses with an ally on the back with the emp mini rocket thing is a hilarious combo.
I do think scout hogs should hold 3/4 though.

I’m not talking about gooses though, I’m saying take the mounded mechanic from the gooses and slap that on the warthog/scout hogs instead. The driver of a warthog literally has no protection outside of their ability to drive, wouldn’t this be a bit more incentive/interesting?
A warthog can sustain a considerable amount of damage as well, imagine it becoming a all purpose warzone vehicle, not just a REQ used when you need break out of being farmed in home base.

I get what you’re saying and whilst it would be interesting, warthogs have always been about team work to be effective, I’m also not convinced mounted weapons on a vehicle with a large turning circle (compared to gungooses) would be any good good against anything that moves,
That being said I’d love to adapt the idea slightly and have things like:
Support hot: provide insta shield recharge and ammo to near by players
Req hog: allows players to call in reqs up to level 5
Spawn hog: allows players to spawn on the hog, these players don’t start with shields for balance
Shield hog: driver can deploy a hard light shield infront of the hog, can’t splatter but damage is negated for a short while
Turret hog: spawn a AI turret
Basically armour abilities from H4.
A better idea would be to implement something like Spartan Strike where the driver could control the turret.
Why not a warthog with a mobile req station?
I’m still waiting for my awesome man-cannon hog idea to be implemented
That’s a pretty good idea. Still waiting for the driver assist though.
So basically a ground version of the Falcon. Interesting…

Ohhh…(insert sad face)
IDEA!
Have a transport hog with the small mounted guns at the front!
(basically the halo 3 transport hog with the MCC Gungoose guns at the front)

To be honest I never got a chance to play with the Falcon, so I’m not really sure how it handled. More UNSC vehicles that can actually do damage please!
Honestly, a Warthog that flys would be a game changer. I would settle for some side chain turrets.
