Eh, I think the storylines in all of them were good. I also did like the different versions of the armor that they showed.

EDIT:
I was looking on Wikipedia earlier and I saw that you can have different warthogs other than the troop transport, gauss, and regular. Like there was the Civilian Warthog without a turret, and a black/yellow one. And I wanna know: on what maps do those warthogs spawn at?

Oh, and is it possible to have the UNSC Hornet on any of the multiplayer maps? 'Cause you get to play it in the campaign..

On Sandtrap and Sandbox (both DLC maps) you can spawn a Hornet in Forge mode. As far as the 'hogs go you only see the Gauss, Standard, and Troop Transport hogs in H3. You can only spawn the first two in MP using Forge mode. The black/yellow hog is Halo PC only, and the civilian hog is a Halo 2 mod. No offense, but if you had taken three minutes to read the article it would have told you that. That's the last freebie I'm giving - next time you're getting the good ole'

Hornet spawns on:
Avalanche (DLC)(Transport variant)(x2)

Hornet can be placed with forge on:
Avalanche (DLC)(Transport Variant)(x2)
Construct (Assault Variant)(x4)
Sandbox (DLC)(Transport and Assault Variants)(x2 Transport, x2 Assault)
Sandtrap (Assault Variant)(x2)
Valhalla (Assault Variant)(x2)

There are also rumors floating around that Longshore will feature one, that is, if Longshore turns out to be the Headlong remake that people say it is.

The Transport Variant is just a gray painted version that lacks missiles and has a weaker chaingun (about the same rate of fire and power as one SMG). It can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqwqecw8lLQ. Yes, that was Thire and I pulling off a collision hijack. :P

The Civilian (aka Turretless) Warthog is only possible to have in a lag-based glitch in which the host quits when the Warthog is spawned in forge. All it really is is just a two-seater that can't be used in regular multiplayer, so it's not worth it.

Ah, true. But don't the releases follow Microsoft US's schedule anyways?

Just to elaborate on what tean said, the black-yellow warthog is the rockethog, and is by far the most annoying vehicle in every sense.

Assembly, Revan. The purple one with the Scarabs


...being built. :P


Anyways, I can't wait until Thursday, maybe people will actually feel like buying them now that they're not $80. Oh well, I had fun in Team Mythic last month, now you guys can try it. :P

And I've learned so many tactics to prevent people from getting Hammer Time. Oh, so many tactics :lol:

How can I get the Hornet to spawn on those maps? I've tried Construct and Sandtrap but couldn't find, only the banshee spawned.

Seriously man, take five seconds to read what we write. Every question you've asked we've either answered or led you to an answer. Is it really that hard to not be spoon fed? I'm sorry, but clearly you're focused on you since you want us to give you every answer, have us do the research... We gave you Halopedia ( http://halo.wikia.com ). Use it. Again, I'm sorry, but this problem goes far beyond this topic. Questions you ask have been covered many times before, but you refuse to look for the answer.


@ Fusion -- I'll be seeing you online tomorrow night in Sandbox. Got any fun variants?

I've got a few Team Slayer variants, and a few asymmetrical. Maps not by me will be marked with a "a"

Excavation a= Halo 2 Foundation
Dementia= Landing Zone based map, called so because it was designed after the "word" "LoL"
Duality= Bumpy map designed after Halo 2 Gemini and Marathon's Duality
Gash Valley a= Small Halo PC Blood Gulch, Flamethrower + Fuel Rod and all
Ancient= Crypt map, asymmetrical, has elements of Boarding Action (because it was a scrapped BA idea I had >.>)
Dark Valley= Awesome. Based on every two-sided map ever
Gephyrophobia a= Map based on the Halo PC map
Solar= Symmetrical Guardian/Lockout-esque map

And I suppose I have to help you with these skulls too, right? :P

Oh, and I have this one super bounce that works like 25% of the time, I got all the way out of the Guardian Ring before every tower opened fire on me.

Nah, I don't need help on the skulls cuz I can just download variants to do that. I would like to use you as my Tank Dropper achievement though :P
