How is anyone supposed to have fun in a warthog if everyone and they’re mother starts with plasma pistols and plasma grenades?
Drive defensively.
THANK YOU. I am an avid warthog driver. I have over 1k wheelmans in reach and halo 3. The mechanics are off on warthogs as well. People arent aware of weapon respawns either so it is easier to destroy vehicles as well.
Warthogs are almost completely useless in Halo 4 until there is a barebones playlist (i.e. no loadouts, ordnances, etc) and the warthog is the only vehicle on the map.
*their
*pistols
driving defensively will help you a bunch
don’t use the warthog like a snowplow
i find that everyone using Plasma pistols and stickies are complete morons; they can’t aim
it’s easy to avoid them if you know what you’re doing
i would know, i love driving warthogs… and just about every other vehicle that exists in halo
I killed plenty of people on Vortex by ramming and fishtail hitting with the warthog, until they switched into their vehicle killer loadouts.

I can drive defensively, but no-one in their right mind will be around a warthog out in the open. It seems that one nade is all it takes to blow up a hog while the ghost takes two.
It’s not about surviving to actually kill people, it’s about actually having FUN in the warthog. With plasma grenades, plasma pistols and the laser you just can’t enjoy driving or gunning in a warthog as you are constantly anxious.
Totally agree, the Warthog was awesome for the splatters and riding like a wild hog. Now they are completely useless.
It really needs a fix. Removing plasma grenades from loadouts would probably do it.
Another big part of Halo 343 have killed 
The addition of spawning with PGs and PPs along with Ordinance makes the Warthog a double or triple kill machine.
I remember the Halo 3 days when I would either hear or see a Warthog and make sure to try my best to stay out of its fire and figure out a way to destroy it. It could decide the fate of a game sometimes. I know this because I have done this have had it done to me.
Now it’s “Hey, a Warthog. Sweet double kill inbound…”
Who uses a hog to drive “defensively”? Most people, myself included, use them to raise hell, and we can’t do that anymore.
Driving a hog carefully around a large map isn’t fun. We just wanna run -Yoink- over and have a blast doing it.
Based on tests, I can say that the splattering fun died in Halo 3 but the overall combat fun died in Reach.
It needs more weight. It flips so easily in Halo 3, even more easily in Reach and Halo 4.
just got done with a game where me and a friend were playing big team and we kept driving. Still fun good thing im a good driver though whenever someone else got to drive all they did was try and run people over even though they could clearly see a charged plasma pistol.
Any warthog not named “Gauss Hog” is basically a mere annoyance now.
Back in Halo 3, the simple chain gun hog was a MONSTER to face. I kind of miss that.

Still the wrong form of the word…
I agree, though, vehicles aren’t what they used to be. The rocket hog is fun though.
