to start off, i will say that i really do like the new look of the warthogs. But otherwise i'm not pleased.....
these warthogs are extremely noisy. As a drvier, that roaring engine is a pain the neck. In reach, the warthog's turret was the noise that i noticed, but now its the engine and the turret.....
Secondly, the turrets. The rocket hog seems fine to me with its mechanics and accuracy, but the other ones are disasppointing. The machine gun turret, both in the hog and mounted, has a very odd reticule. Its starts out as small dot that looks like it could fire sniper rounds, but after you start firing it blooms to the area of the whole surrounding box. It makes concentrated firing feel akward and i feels i have fire in bursts to maintain any accuracy. The turrets in other halos were ok for me, because they didnt bloom and the reticule always stayed the same. also, the machine gun doesnt feel like it does much effective damage to enemies. And finally, the gauss hog. the rate of fire is a bit too slow. I know they tried to nerf it a bit so it wasnt OP, but it feels almost underpowered now.
the hog used to be a very effective vehicle in BTB if used correctly, but in halo 4, its not doing the trick. The damage and new reticule has made them loose the power that they originally had.
This is all my personal opinion. If you disagree, please reply in a respectful manner. Theres no need to go on any rants. We're all here for the same reason (halo), so lets try to get along
