Halo‘s rabid fanbase has been clinging onto each last word that has come from the various game updates on Bungie.net. Yesterday saw the release of every conceivable detail you could ever want to know about Halo 3‘s warthog, and then a whole lot more that nobody in any walk of life could ever need. (Who knew the M12’s weapon replacement cost was cR. 52000.00?) From the briefing:
"The M12 is primarily used in a scouting capacity, or as an integral part of a mechanized infantry unit. In the case of the LRV and LAAV variants it can hold three soldiers including the gunner. The mounted weapon includes a battery for short term operation separated from the vehicle, but normally operates on the vehicle’s power supply. The vehicle is powered by a 12 liter hydrogen-injected ICE and can reach speeds up to 125 kph (78 mph).
A number of variants of the Warthog are in service with UNSC forces, including the M831 TT (which eliminates the support weapon in favor of four side-facing passenger seats), the M864 A (with an enclosed passenger compartment and treads in place of wheels), and the M914 RV (equipped with a towing winch and a heavy duty motor and gear system)."
Check out the rest over at Bungie.net.
