The Warthog, Is it a Toy?

Games Other Halo
1

I’m a huge Halo fan and I’ve been playing them since the very first one on PC and I’ve always enjoyed competitive play. But with that I also enjoy Vehicular war as well within the game. I loved the Warthog’s power in Halo 1 and I enjoyed the Warthog in 2 and 3. Hell I even like the Warthog in Halo Reach just because it’s such a badass vehicle. I’m sure everyone knows the Warthog here in Halo 4 is a piece of garbage and I mean garbage. Not only does it drive like a little toy it feels like it weighs a mere 100 pounds. Am I not understanding that this Warthog has 2 Spartans in the vehicle and still manages to flip over so easily? I’m not an expert on Physics or anything but I don’t think it should be that easy.

Damage? Don’t even get me started on the damage of the regular warthog because it’s a mere joke. The Warthog is supposed to be powerful based on my knowledge in the Halo Universe and this game is basically spitting in its face with this blasphemy.
I’m not looking for people to come in here saying I suck with it because I don’t suck at driving nor being on the gunner. I am just wondering why the Warthog is being seen as a joke in this game and Halo Reach for that matter.

Do I even have to bring up how powerful the Battle Rifle and DMR are compared to the Warthog and how fast they kill you with random shots?

they wanted to make it seem more realistic, and in this case they failed like a lot of things

How could you say the reach warthog is fine then say the halo 4 one flips too easy? Reach’s warthog drove like it was in a bouncy castle.

The Halo 4 Warthog feels great to me, I fail to see any issues with it.

I agree Reach’s warthog was a joke but I try my best to clear that game out of my memory my friend. Halo 4’s Warthog is garbage and nothing but a Child’s Toy.

Its fine as it is trust me, I was thinking the same thing you are. You just need to get used to it, I’m getting better to it now.

Maybe you’re right and everything else like the BR and DMR are overpowered compared. I’m not specifically complaining about the damage of the Warthog I’m complaining about how it Drives. To be honest there is no logical reasoning behind how and why the Warthog is so unstable with so much weight inside.

both the Halo 4 hog and the Reach hog are horrible. They need a massive damage increase

Agreed, I mean it does have a Machine Gun on it with I believe Armour Piercing Rounds.

I don’t have any problems with it…

I like the idea of warthog physics being customizable in Halo 5 (or any other Halo) with stats like Health, Bounce, and Grip, rated 1 - 10.

The Warthog does not need a damage increase, but it could definitely do with being more stable to drive and more resistant to damage.

This is Halo, we’re all supposed to have plenty of health and the Warthog does fall too easily.

I believe the H3 Hog is the best, but the H4 Hog sounds and drives brilliantly, though it’s far too weak and too easy to flip.
