Wild Hog Expectations And Facts

So what do you think will be in the wild hog update?
at first i thought/hoped for the hannibal versions of the warthogs. which may seem unlikely since the teaser was not really exciting.

so what are your guesses and are there any things already confirmed?

I’m guessing vehicles, race, and other goodies

There is another thread with the exact title man.

Assault map variation, new mp maps, brute rifle variations, New warthog!

I hope they add the different scopes for the new attachments.

i havent seen it anywhere?

so far a darkstar assault map seems plausible
thre are leaked brute plasma rifles.
the carbine scope attachments (why these are a thing is above me tbh)
the yellow warthog that will probably see more of a use in machinima. i do think it is based on the puma from red vs blue, the way it is making its entrance, well the only thing missing is the original red vs blue song undeneath it:p
race seems likely, but since there are already race maps that do work quite well in custom games, it seems kinda unnecessary

I think you should rename this before we have another MoR thing happen. Expectations are not a great thing with 343. Maybe call it “hog wild wish list”.

it is not really a wish list post, id rather want to know what is PLAUSIBLE, things that DO have a chance at happening.
Things with reason, why should thing X be in this update. and what value would it add to the game. what is confirmed, what is leaked, what is likely.

not things like i wish there will be reach armor customization etc. thats not gonna happen, dont put it here :stuck_out_tongue:
just things that actually seem reasonable and plausble to fit within this update.

I want a hannibal hog, that way it can shoot gauss… oh wait.

i first thaught these would be plausible.

Normal hannibal hog : gauss repeated from the hannibal tank
gauss hannibal hog: nerfed main tank gun on it
rocket hannibal hog: heatseekers vs spartans, high-five like missiles, hannibal mantis like rockets.

seems plausible for legendary reqs. give them less armor than the oni but make them legendary. except for the normal one which could be a tier6 ultra rare.

would make sense since the tank and mantis are already ingame

(the gungoose could have heatseekers or sticky grenades)

rocket hannibal hog: heatseekers vs spartans, high-five like missiles, hannibal mantis like rockets.
this would be way too overpowered, heartseeker like missiles (basically heat seeking like you said) with the hannibal like rockets plus high-five missiles.

this would destroy anybody, i would take away the high-five missiles because hydra missiles are very slow, i would think the seeking missiles, but maybe make them a little weaker than hannibal rockets. anything to balance it out hah

i mean either ONE of those haha;p might be a bit unclear, but it can either fire a few heatseeking missiles (normal missile that locks on to spartans as well as vehicles)
or
a few(read 2-4) rockkets with submunitions like the high-five, wether this is dumbfire or lockon is tbd
or
just copy paste the mantis rocketpod and make it bigger and balanced :stuck_out_tongue:

EDIT: did not mean the heatseeker incineration cannon:p

i know you didnt mean the heartseeker, i was just using it as an example, missiles that track kinda like how heartseeker tracks.

i’d think it would be \basically oni rocket hog with shields plus hannibal rockets. the shields are there because you know. made by hannibal and hannibal is awesome

I’m thinking race, a new warzone map, and some sort of new warthog variant. Along with the usual new REQ items of course.

and sadly enough i think that is ineed the case, the new hog being the one in the trailer. the one that no one is really excited about

i was excited about it. seeing that “very cool” carbine scoped BR and “awesome” golden rocket hog

i shouldn’t need to say this but yes that was sarcasm

I liked the rocket hog rally race in Halo Reach, so maybe that will be added. Would be really fun to have back.

like the MoR update, WH has so much potential, that they will probably be unable to live up to it.

AKA. their marketing team hypes the players TOO much.
