The good ol' Scout Hog

just had an idea, thought I would share it with you cool people.
What if you could ride in the back of the scout hog…

just think about it…

you could have the 360 view like on a mongoose buuut have the protection the of a warthog
and carry any weapon you want.

>Your half way though a game of warzone, the enemy has all the bases one of your teammates pulls out a scout ONI hog ands going to try and bust through their
blockade of tanks snipers and who knows what else. You, wanting to protect the core, pulled out The Answer (Saw). Seeing the selfless act your friend is about to pull off you run to join them! accepting the invention you jump in the back of the ONI scout hog planting your feet firmly and hanging on with one hand you guys blast off into the fray. your friend pushing the hog to its limits you pull The Answer out the enemies been waiting for.

And there you have it…

We should’ve gotten Halo 3’s transport hogs instead of scout hogs…

Seems pretty cool, but won’t happen, to late in the game and I doubt they’ll patch it in.

I’ve played since launch and didn’t realize until 2 weeks ago you could only fit 2 people in the scout. I though it was another name for transport hogs from 3. Haha

Im not opposed to the idea , in fact i find it odd that the scout warthog , has less seats than a standard warthog (turreted) . If wanting to transport a group of people you are better off calling in hogs with turrets which doesn’t seem to fit the intention behind them.

Admittedly i would be opposed to being able to carry a turret , eg splinter turret on the back of a scout hog , as not holding onto anything . (not that you proposed this) . But i do agree with anything that can be used on say a mongoose.

Didn’t they only transport 2 Spartans?

It would be great to have two spaces players can kneel in the back of the scout hog, but they probably wont do it.

The least they could do is hollow out all the invisible geometry in the back so a player or two can crouch without sliding off when it starts moving.

You could only sit in the driver and passenger seat, but not the rear section. If they did add it to this game, they would have to make the back 4 seats available to sit in.

I think people should be able to ride on the back as well and use the SPNKR Hydra and the Incineration Cannon and I like the idea of being able to spartan laser a transport hog…and get 6 kills at once or however many kills it gets…

My thoughts are along these lines.

Turn the back into a bed that can fit multiple Spartans. Do not allow them to “brace” inside like riding the passenger seat, but rather, add just enough depth and rail to the sides so Spartans don’t slide out.

Likewise, flying over a hill would lose the bed passenger, but the balancing point would be that bed passengers could still smart lock/zoom as if they were standing on the ground.

This could easily be added to the game in a patch.

Why not both? It would have been better than the half-dozen skin variants imo.

Yes, but if they made it to fit four spartans it would’ve given it a far more useful purpose for both campaign and multiplayer.

It’s too late into the game to add a new vehicle? They’re about to add a new mantis, I don’t think a new warthog is that unlikely.

actually I took that for granted when I learned about scout hogs.

I know this wasn’t a rant but how could I resist … Sorry!

They should really add in a transport hog with 4 seats in the back…would just look soooo cool!

An then you get shot out of the hog or blown up by a tank…congratulations, you just burned a good card!

Wait you can’t even sit in the back of those things? Man, and I thought they were useless before…

SG

honestly find all variants of scout hogs and the mongoose to be a waste of REQ cards…they dilute the pool

Protected…in the back of the warthog? You’re better off on foot.
