The UNSC Warthog

The Warthog

The UNSC's primary vehicle is the "Warthog." It is a highly durable and reliable form of transport for troops and a great vehicle for defending or attacking a target. The Warthog takes skill to operate, as it is easy to roll over, but a skilled driver can carry out their mission with great efficiency.

The Warthog's most basic kill, but sometimes the hardest to execute, is the splatter, in which the driver runs down a pedestrian foe.

The Warthog can be outfitted differently, allowing it to perform various roles. These variants include:

Chain-gun/Machine-gun (default)

Gauss Cannon

Multiple Launch Rocket System (guided)

Troop Transport

Warthog Base (no mounted weapon system)

The following video shows an in-depth description of the Halo 4 Warthog, featured in Forza Motorsport 4.

Warthogs have been upgraded through the franchise.

Very hilarious occurrences never would have happened without the Warthog.

This is called boarding or hijacking a warthog.
Once on Metropolis in Halo 2, I had some fun with an elite. We continued to rip each other out of a Warthog. It was really funny.

Fun Facts:

• Warthog has a functional horn that can be used to get marines into your hog.
• Warthogs have the ability to power-slide, allowing more stable turns and less flipping/rolling.
• Warthogs can survive tremendous falls.
• In Halo Reach, the driver gets an award every time the gunner kills a foe.
• Warthogs can be carried underneath a Pelican.
• The Covenant can hijack and operate the Warthog's driving, passenger seat, and mounted weapon.
• In Halo CE, the person riding shotgun actually rides in the !st Person Point of View.

Warthogs can be armored using 2 barricades. I know this is a mongoose, but the video is really good.

This is a nice warthog one from Halo 3.

The warthog is able to provide many combat roles due to its durability and adaptability. It is extremely useful, accessible, and fun to drive. Personally, I feel that the driving can be difficult to work with at some points, but I really enjoy driving warthogs.

Glitch: Halo 2 Pelican Multiple Glitch

 This is probably the craziest glitch I have ever experienced, let alone heard of. 

The mission "Metropolis" from Halo 2 (one of the best Halo games), starts off normal, but holds a large surplus of insane glitches and intentional Easter eggs. Though, out of all glitches in the mission, this is the best. It is a chain glitch - it leads to other glitches. This is the glitch:

- Two Pelicans enter the game at a point after a large firefight with some wraiths. One pelican carries a tank,          while the other carries reinforcements.

- Climb the second overpass (closer to the objective building). The pelican with the Marine reinforcements

         will hover above it.

- Wait until the Marines begin to jump out. When this happens, jump up to the cargo hold door and hit the

         X button. GLITCH HINT: Sometimes placing a warthog under you makes the jump easier to pull off.

- When in, the pelican will leave. The Marines may or may not get back on.

----- This is a glitch within a glitch: If on 2-player split-screen co-op, one player will sit normally, while the 

         other stands on the seats with his head through the grated roof, arms spread. This is not a joke. 

- The Pelican will fly for a while, leave the combat area, then start a weird upside-down barrel roll and crash.

-The player will eventually be ejected from the Pelican to find another odd circumstance - invisible walls.

-The player will wind up, either standing above water or over ground (the location varies between the water 

         and land). The Pelican spins on what seems like an axis point, rotating and rolling randomly.

----- Yet another glitch! If the player walks up to the pelican, the action text reads: "Press X to flip 

         Banshee." Banshee?!

-As if things couldn't get any weirder, the pelican can eventually splatter the player if standing near its ballistic

         spinning action.

What is this? Is the pelican ride a glitch or an Easter egg? What about the other weird occurrences? Did they animate the pelican to a point where it leaves the field of vision and just forget about deleting the pelican later? I'm going to leave a poll up; I want to hear what you think about this charade.

By the Way: I have completed this glitch numerous times. It is easy, fun, and the player barely has to do anything. It may take a few tries with the jump, so don't pout if the pelican leaves; just restart the checkpoint.

This is a well made instructional video of the glitch. Enjoy the craziness of Halo 2's Pelican glitch.
