Well that's just about the weirdest trailer I've ever seen for a racing game. No Porsche? Get us a Warthog!

I read on GAF that you can't even drive it? I read that awhile ago so I dunno if it was corrected or not.

I'd rather they put, you know, a HMMWV in the game. It's not going to win any races but still

I'm sure if they do allow this thing to be driven it will be DLC for $10

Yeah,uhm, with all those gas cans racked up along the warthog's derriere, just don't shoot it in the ass. It is kind of a neat looking off-road pretend vehicle, though.

Okay, um, wait a minute.
 
I love Halo and the mythos, but they seriously made a backstory for a non-drivable car model in a racing sim? Like, seriously?
 
Also, that looks barely recognizable as a warthog. I know Forza is all about insane detail, but for a celebration for the decade of Halo, you'd think that they'd make it look as close to the original as possible.

Alright, so if there's a warthog in Halo 4, either it'll take place partly on earth, or Cortana's just dropping them from the broke-ass ship he's been sleeping on? Seems like that's a weird thing to contrive just to have them in the game. And the fun of them was getting another person to drive, and being the gunner. That's going to suck if MC's the only dude around. Unless they taught Cortana how to drive, but then she'd get in accidents all the time, with her being a woman.

Scratch that, it's super weird regardless.

Warthogs are built to last.  So, strap yourself in and watch as the earth comes speeding at you. Don't worry everything's going to be a-okay.

That would be dumb since this is the Halo 4 Warthog.

And have you ever played a Halo game? That looks pretty much exactly like a more detailed warthog.

Yeah, Looks pretty damn similar to me. But with a shitton more detail.

This will be a feature in Forza 4 used for all of about 10 seconds. What a waste of everyone's time, how about giving us another drivable car instead working on dumb shit like this and making us pay for DLC a week after launch.

Agreed. Driving a Warthog was always my favorite part of the Halo games, and seeing this in Forza just is awesome.

Different turret shape, bigger wheels, random roll cages, smoke-stack looking thing on the driver's side, multiple giant fuel tanks in the back, and much wider frame. I know I'm being an EXTREME stickler, and I obviously know nothing about the plot of Halo 4, but assuming the conceit is that it takes place immediately after Halo 3, then the only warthogs around should be the exact same as those in the previous game.
 
Also, if you're looking for something extremely similar but with much more detail, look at the actual Warthog Bungie had WETA build. THAT looks like a better version of the classic 'Hog, not this Forza one.
 
Again, I know I'm being a total OCD dolt demanding everything be the same, I just really don't like random redesigns for no reason, and Halo's been good about consistency everywhere it makes sense and having a logical explanation any time it otherwise wouldn't. Here's to hoping the same goes for this.

Sweet, it would be sweet if you could control it using just the sticks but that probably won't happen.

I'm not doubting you, just confused: if you can't drive it, then what exactly is it? Is Forza 4 gonna have a database of the stats of famous cars from videogames or something?

Not bad. I love how they can be a simulator but also display a middle finger to those who got a camshaft up their arse.

The fact you can't drive it makes it so much worse. It's there, I can see it in game, and I can't play with it? That's just rude. plain rude.
 
From what heard it's just to show off the Kinect driven show room feature.

It should be the M12 LRV, not the FAV.

Edit: Sadly, I'm not even joking. A quick look back to my Halo 2 and Halo 3 Manuals will show the warthog as the M12 LRV. I think they changed the name for Reach.

@Waffles13: Well Frank has said there has been "some time" between Halo 3 and 4, like up to 3-5 years. On a panel it was said that the UNSC would be using Forerunner technology in their new weapons, which would go along with the "few years" idea. I think canon wise this will just be the newer version of the hog (which I agree is a bit weird because it seems to look less futuristic with the suspension and "utility" look it has).

Forza has been the only franchise that has ever got me to pre-order its games, mainly because of shit like this.

@Swordfish9 said:

YES!... Actually, Forza never went in and put fictional cars in before, I think they might be taken a cue from Burnout Paradise and having a few "Legendary" Cars show up for DLC at some point. The Mako might be a little big, but I don't see why they don't throw a few fictional fan favorites in the mix. Unless, "certain people" get all huffy and say that Forza is getting to accessible.
