Ideas for new warthog...

I was planning on designing a new warthog which had a more beasty look, also 10 wheels, 8 at the back 4 sets of two, and 2 at the front. Thinking about it that sounds abit too far. The idea was to make it be a bit slower but have a lot more owrr and be bigger.

I have also always wsnted to intergrate some sort of sheikd system, basically some emitters would generate a small sheild arond the warthhog for a few seconds, but the shield creation wold be delayed at it charges.
The shield should then have to cool down.

Anyone else got ideas for design ideas or functions?

I was also thinking of a civil sports version of the warthog.

Mobile post btw,nso sorry about spelling and grammar.

10 wheels sounds incredibly stupid.

wartog?

Sounds interesting, but yeah, 10 wheels sounds overdone. Maybe 8, but just place the extra 4 next to the already existing 4, like buses and trucks do.

What the FUCK would it need 8 wheels for? Even military 5 ton trucks have 6 wheels. :lolugh:

It has a 9 ton weapon on the back?

Keep in mind it's a damn game, and it's also up to Hunter and his creativity to decide what he wants to do. I simple suggested a concept that I thought would work well and look nice.

Game or not it would look dumb as fuck, especially a 10 wheeled version. :v:

The idea was to have 3 sets of wheels, but the back 2 sets would be like a trucks, so there would be 2 instead of one. I dunno.

Give me some ideas.

A three axle "heavy" warthog would be neat in my opinion, though to justify having dual tires on the back two axles you'd need a hell of a weapon in the back. Like a chaingun guass cannon or quad LAAG turrets...

I have a really good idea for some basic shield type things, you could only activate them for about 2 seconds and they would have to charge. Plus they would not cover the entire vehicle.

And I was thinking about some new kind of turret on the back. I want it to fire some new special kind of bullet or something. Like bullet which explodes with plasma... I dunno.

How would it look dumb as fuck? I see it clearly in my head, and it looks just fine. You must have a pretty screwed up concept in your head.

It is, however, up to Hunter, and whatever he makes. Either way, he's a great modeler and I trust it'll look fine in the end.

Not a warthog but how about a working elephant? I have yet to see one. There are only models around.

ALSO, not an exact H3-phant, use your imagination.

An elephant with SAM's mounted on the back could be interesting.

Have a warthog that wasn't ment to carry a weapon or spartans. Make it a tandem axle hauler that is ment to connect to trailers.

what the fuck is wrong with that last wheel?

Im guessing the suspension animations are Fubar'ed

Okay, drop the wheel subject now. Any other ideas you got please, as in what kind of turret?
Hopefully have the turret fire some new type of special ammo.

A huge lazer.

How about some type of experimental guass cannon that shoots experimental human guass rounds fitted with plasma heads? Basically when it hits something, instead of the little gauss explosion you get something on par with a fuel rod cannon explosion!

Wouldn't be to unbalanced if the cool down was fair.

I always wanted to see:
-flatbed hog
-"ambulance" hog

flatbed would be pretty useless, but i wonder if the ambulance hog could be set up to dispense health packs and have them "reload" like the 3 shots of the rhog.

Spawn vehicle possibly? Like the trucks in Crysis that you can choose to spawn at if someone has one built on the map?

Health pack truck with a LAAG for some defense would be neat, would add a little "mini-base" that you could park somewhere on the map.

Make it so you cant carry flags in the hog, but you can place it in the back of the flatbed hog.

Jizz cannon hog ftw.

Omg thats ingenious. Could you imagine the gameplay possibilities? Hunter I recommend you give this try.

Matooba made a warthog that dispensed Rocket launchers, so I assume it could be done with health packs

Also I could see a flatbed hog as a part of a campaign mission where you say, have to pick up some valuable/important cargo (a bomb or something) and get it to a drop point safely. (ie, the bomb will blow up with enough damage.) I feel like I may have borrowed that idea from another game, but I can't think of anything. Could be pretty cool

maybe it could have a spartan laser turret on it or something
but it has slow rate of fire and less damage, but it still capable of killing you
-like the rocket launcher, only a direct hit will kill you
also maybe splash damage where it hits?

i dunno

E: maybe it has 3 lasers which spin like the LAAG when it fires, 'cept the ROF is 0.5 or something

Sounds like the gauss hog to me.

Is it possible to make a hybrid type warthog that lets say you hit the horn button and it retracts wheels under and becomes a flying type hog?

Not fully, but you could have a damage effect spawn under the hog when you hit "crouch".

.
And about all those damage effects are good for is epic hydraulics. Lightning's hog, anyone?

I like tge ambulance hog ide, little mini bsse. will see what I can do.

techincally the warthog is a jeep, so any variants would have to be jeep-ish

How about an "anti-riot water canon" hog?

That would be interesting. Give it some hydraulics.

A warthog that's a bit longer (which could use extra wheels)

there would be 3 passenger seats on both sides, a driver, and a front passenger, totaling 8 passengers.

It would be armoured up, with little holes on the side, for the passenger to fire their weapons out of it, It would move slow, and wont tip over from a shot from a scorpion.

JIZZ CANNON LOLololaolHURF DERF

It would be pretty cool to have a dune buggy hog with bigger tires and wheel arches, as well as better driver protection from sand and tools to get the hog out if it gets stuck. Would have to have really bouncy physics too.

Weapon wise a mortar would be an interesting change to aiming.

If I had the resources, I'd help you. I really like the idea of a medi-hog racing into combat and dropping a few health packs.

How about a night hog. It could be really simple or really advanced. It could just be a cool looking hog with a bunch of lights on the front, or you could get some really advanced looking thing where the front windshield was inferred and you everything you saw though it was illuminated. Not sure how that last one would work out though since you're in 3rd person in the hog.

Cant you make it so that you DRIVE in 1st person?
I know that if you're using Skys the Limit, and you get in a vehicle and push the 1st person view button, then you'll be driving in 1st person!
Now it looks completely wierd in a regular warthog... or any other vehicle for that matter... but you can make a warthog, that, when you do the trick mentioned above, will put you in 1st person in the driver's seat. I think that warthog is in the map "Mini Stunt".
Go check it out!

Yeah first person warthog might be kind of cool.

Lightbulb. Aerodynamic sporty designed warthog made for racing. Not just one of those ones where someone goes and put's a new skin on a hog. Make it a sporty looking hog that would be in 1st person. Would make for an awesome race.

might be interesting to see a hog thats been taken by the flood. With flood spores and shit crawling on it. But that would be more of an addition and retexturing of an existing hog. The medihog sounds like the best idea to me

How about a transformer Hog? Is that possible?

Ive already done this with a warthog by moving the camera to the right position. Its not good. Too much bouncing around and trying to see is almost impossible. Also you need to change the windshield material to be able to see


Anyone make the M831 Troop Transport

Forerunner tank.
I think thats what the name of it was, they mention it in the DVD that came with the LE version of halo 2.

I'm glad that never became canon.

No, the Forerunner tank was MUCH bigger. Bungie mentioned in the LE of H3 that it was larger than a Scarab, and the player would walk around the vehicle freely, dodging titanic Gravemind tentacles.
Awesomeness would ensue.

or you could just change the tags slightly instead of external apps
there's a function in the SEATS section of vehicle tags, just uncheck the thirdperson box

I was under the understanding you had to drive about in this forerunner tank blowing things up from what they said in the halo 3 LE.

A flying warthog.

Human-Elite Joint project.

This I will go with a medi center warthog.

I was thinking about it having sections which expand and unfold into maybe small turrets. So it would be a command post type thing. So it would be a large turret then when a button is pressed the vehicle is deleted and a turret spawned.

On this base you would be able to get medi packs and cover from enemy fire. So small shields would be generated around it, but they wouldn't cover the whole thing.

And it would have nice lights and stuff :P

I was thinking about a turret which paralized the target for a few seconds or drained their sheilds seeming as the vehicle would be medical based. :P

I would heavily suggest looking up the armored vehicles used by croatia, macedonia, etc during the mid 90's during the war, or even german vehicles during ww2. There's a lot of inspiration there that would serve you better than asking for ideas here. I'll be completely honest here and tell you that every suggestion I've seen here is absolutely half-assed and without insight.

A russian BM13 (rocket artillery truck) inspiration is a better suggestion than anything here. A rocket artillery hog that could be used to suppress an area or an enemy base would be so much better than a medic hog.

I suppose I could make the Wolverine for that though Snaf. I will look at some other Jeeps though.

A long time ago I did have an idea for a warthog to utilized anti-personnel artillery shells. The turret would have a mortar configuration, it would launch the shell high in the air, then at a certain altitude it would explode, raining shrapnel down on an area. I did want to make a missile hog, Tiamat beat me to it. Then there was the idea for a warthog to launch a spy drone from the bed in the back.

That last one could only be used as a novelty though, more suited to maps like coldsnap. I am still heavily interested in my shrapnel hog though.

Instead of making the turrets usable after you push a button and have a complicated script setup to delete the vehicle and spawn a turret... Is it possible to make the turret seats only usable if no one is in the drivers seat? That way you could drive it where you want to go, hop out and turn it into a mobile medi-base.

---

I was thinking about something like that, but then you would have nob heads wanting to drive around it in all of the time. So you are there on one of the turrets, then someone jumps in the driver seat.

What happens then? Lol, does the person on the turret get kicked off?

Make it so of the turret seats are occupied the drivers seat is unusable, and vise-versa.

Ohh, Good idea :)

Put a couple passenger seats on as well, so you can still transport people to and from locations, but if there's a driver the "big guns" can't be used. That should solve the inevitable griefing due to "no you can't drive this I'm gunning in a stupid location".

I would like to see a slightly modified warthog that looks like the trucks used in district 9. I don't know how you could alter it to affect gameplay except possibly boost the health and defense.

http://media.photobucket.com/image/d...Picture7-1.png

Why would you want a pickup truck wit a bunch of bolt on accessories?

I know its not a warthog suggestion, but you like modeling from references eh?

:haw: I really like that :P needs some adjusting though, looks boxy. Looks nice in my head, might have a go at this :) Dunno when though.

Where you find this anyway? Any more things like this?

HOLY SHIT
MOOKZ GET IN HERE THAT FUCKING GUN IS FROM MARATHON
LETZ JIZZ THOGETHER

The medi-hog should have a small mounted gun at the passenger seat with a limited rotation. This makes much more sense than a turret that only works when you aren't driving. It's not as powerful as a LAAG of course, but it's not supposed to be. This is a support vehicle, not an assault vehicle.

edit: just like the BF2 passenger gun
http://image.wareseeker.com/software...mod-1.0-1.jpeg

Or a motorcycle with a fucking awesome sidecar!

Seriously, how badass would that be? Very badass.

Or if hes going for a bike he may as well make the bulldog.

There already is one in Chronopolis and Mythic iirc.

Put this turret on the back of your heavy warthog if you make a heavy weapon variant...

I think I will make a few variations. First one I want to do is the medihog, then I could do the heavy hog with the above turret.

Medihog can have sections which expand out about a meter to create a small shield around it. Turret on the back of it could fire rounds which either drain your health/shields or make you run slower and damage the player slightly.

I don't know when I will be doing this, need to get up to speed with my courses at college first and sort my life out tbqh. And get some guy off my back who seems to think he is going to put me in hospital, had one fight with him the other day, can't be bothered have another one.

didnt look through it all, but that struck me as particularly halo, although he doesn't mention it gaining influence from it.

E: Yeah, there must me some halo influence.
http://gorillaartfare.com/wp-content...-1-620x352.jpg
EE: Maybe not, thats a pretty common scifi look.

I haven't seen a lot of Sci-Fi ships that follow the Halo styling, I'd say that's inspired a little by Halo.

http://gorillaartfare.com/wp-content.../10/rifle2.jpg
That is cool
http://gorillaartfare.com/wp-content...retouched1.jpg
That's even cooler.

That first one's cool. Looks like some kind of spartan laser/rail gun combo. Halo-fied shock rifle anyone?

Second one needs to be longer if it's converted, the front grip is too close to be held comfortably.

Second one looks like a Splaz0r +SMG + BR

both look awesome!

:P Think I might model that. Looks like a automatic railgun. because those gold things in the middle on top and under the barrel look like they would be magnets.

Edit: Actually, it looks pretty Halo style. You could call it a Forerunner weapon, it looks a BIT forerunner.

P90

MRAP vehicles are way cooler than that district 9 toyota with bolt-on accessories.

R.L. Ermy talked about MRAP vehicles on Lock n Load a few weeks ago. It was awesome.
