{{Quote|Somebody order a Warthog?|[[Carol Rawley]] drops off an M12 Chaingun Warthog during the [[Battle of Installation 04]].<ref name="TSC">'''[[Halo Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level [[The Silent Cartographer]]</ref>}}
The '''Warthog''' is a generic term used to describe the M12 line of [[United Nations Space Command]] ground vehicles.  
The '''M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle (LRV)''', colloquially referred to as the '''Chaingun Warthog'''<ref>'''''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''''' - ''[[List of REQ cards|Chaingun Warthog REQ card]]''</ref> or simply '''Warthog''', is one of many weaponized configurations of the [[UNSC]]'s ubiquitous [[Warthog]] platform. Models fielded during the [[Insurrection]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]] featured a turret-mounted [[M41 Vulcan]] or [[M46 Vulcan]],<ref>'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'''</ref> while some more modern post-war variants are armed with an [[M343A2 chaingun]].<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>


==Design details==
It is affectionately known as the 'Hog by UNSC soldiers due to the tusk-like hooks on the tow winch.
{{Main|M12 Warthog|M12B Warthog}}
Removing the turret of a Warthog to create dedicated [[Scout Warthog|scout]] or other weaponized variants of Warthog is a simple process, and has allowed the UNSC to employ many combat configurations of the vehicle with different weapons for different roles.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Woodland Scout Warthog REQ card description]]''</ref> Warthogs equipped with Light Anti-Aircraft chainguns are designated as Warthog Light Reconnaissance Vehicles. The Light Reconnaissance Vehicle is the most common variant of the Warthog seen on the battlefield{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}, designed to eliminate lightly armored personnel and low-flying aircraft.


Chaingun Warthogs have been employed on both the [[M12 Warthog]] and [[M12B Warthog]] chassis types, all unified with the presence of a [[12.7×99mm Armor-Piercing|12.7x99mm]] chaingun of some variety. M12 Warthogs and their derivatives such as the [[M864 Arctic Warthog|M864 Arctic]]<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''multiplayer map [[Avalanche]]''</ref> and [[Fireball Warthog|Fireball]]<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> Warthogs typically employed the [[M41 Vulcan]], a triple-barreled, electric-powered, linkless belt-fed machine gun capable of firing 500 penetrating rounds per minute.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 72''</ref> The standard ammunition loadout for the chaingun is armor-piercing but a number of specialist rounds exist, such as proximity-fused-high-explosive or less-than-lethal-stunball rounds.{{Ref/Book|Id=osfm198|[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]|Page=198}}
==Background==
The Warthog is the 26<sup>th</sup>-century "[[Wikipedia:Jeep|Jeep]]": all of its variants are equipped with a seemingly full-time 4x4 transmission and four-wheel steering to allow for tighter turning; however, higher speeds will result in the understeer that all AWD cars suffer, unless you drive while using the E-brake. The Warthog can carry 3 people; 1 driver, 1 gunner, and 1 passenger (with the exception of the [[Warthog APC]], which can carry 11 passengers, as befitting with its classification and M831 TT Which can carry 4 passengers).  


M12B variants of LRV, introduced in [[2552]], serve the same basic function as their forebears, though have upgraded armament to suit their upgraded chassis. M12B Chaingun Warthogs typically employ the [[M46 Vulcan]] chaingun, though some introduced by late 2558 employ the [[M343A2 chaingun]]. The M12B has seen considerable evolution in the LRV design, with [[ONI Warthog|ONI-branded]] Chaingun Warthogs replacing their typical ammunition with [[High Explosive Dual Purpose ammunition]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|ONI Warthog REQ card description]]''</ref> UNSC forces working with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] have additionally produced a [[Sword Warthog|unique variant]] of the Chaingun Warthog, designed to incorporate [[Energy shielding]] and ''[[Kemuksuru]]'' ammunition into the vehicle's design.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Sword Warthog REQ card]]''</ref>
A Warthog variant is found in ''[[Halo 3]]''.


===Variants===
== Features ==
Theoretically, any Warthog chassis is capable of being fitted with a chaingun mount. The following list summarizes all thus-far observed variants seen in an LRV configuration.
*[[M12 Warthog]]
**[[Fireball Warthog]] - Unique Warthog employed by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.
**[[M864 Arctic Warthog]] - Warthog variant designed for cold-weather environments.
**[[Red Team's Warthog]] - Unique Warthog employed by [[Red Team]] on [[Trove]].
*[[M12B Warthog]]
**Arctic variant - an Arctic camouflaged variant of the M12B LRV.<ref name="forza">''[[Forza 4 Autovista Warthog]]''</ref>
**[[Armored Warthog]] - Up-armored Warthog variant designed by [[Isabel]] for combating the [[Banished]] on [[Installation 00]]. These Warthogs feature larger gun-shields.
**[[Corp Warthog]] - 2558 [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]]-branded security LRV.
**Khaki variant - a desert-camouflaged variant of the M12B LRV.<ref name="forza"/>
**[[ONI Warthog]] - 2558 ONI security LRV firing high-explosive ammunition.
**[[Sword Warthog]] - Experimental 2558 LRV designed by joint UNSC-Swords of Sanghelios efforts. This LRV is equipped with an energy shield and a chaingun that fires ''[[Kemuksuru]]''.
**[[Tundra Warthog]] - 2558 Warthog variant designed for cold-weather environments.
**[[Woodland Warthog]] - 2558 Warthog variant designed for use in forested regions.
**[[Urban Warthog]] - 2558 Warthog variant designed for use in urban environments.


==Operational history==
There are a few differences between the Warthogs of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]''. While the Warthog in ''Halo: CE'' was notoriously hard to control, the revamped Warthog of ''Halo 2'' was a dream come true. The handling was greatly improved, and allies as well as enemies can now drive, though how well they drive usually depends on the difficulty level. There was also the addition of the horn, which can be useful for getting the attention of teammates. Arguably, the best new feature was the addition of the handbrake, which allows the driver to lock up the rear wheels and slide the back end out, making it easier to kill enemies that dive out of the way. The Hog's strongest point is on the front. The front end can take quite a beating from small-medium arms fire before blowing up, and the glass protects the occupants from weapons fire (except for rockets and other explosive ordnance).
[[File:HW WarthogRecon.jpg|250px|thumb|Chaingun Warthogs performing recon during the [[Harvest campaign]].]]
As the most common variant of the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]], the M12 Chaingun Warthog has been in service with the UNSC for over two centuries. They saw use throughout the [[Insurrection]] and into the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/warthog '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Warthog'']</ref> They would see action in almost every major battle of the war. By [[2552]], M12B variants of the Chaingun Warthog had entered circulation, though both LRV variants saw action in the battles of [[Battle of Installation 04|Installation 04]] and [[Battle for Earth|Earth]]. M12 LRVs would be used by [[John-117]] to escape the destruction of both the downed {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and [[Installation 08]].


In the post-war period, the M12 LRV has seen additional use against [[Covenant remnants]], with the vehicle being proliferated among the [[Human colonies|colonies]] for use by private corporate entities such as the [[Liang-Dortmund Corporation]] for security of their sites against all manner of threat.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Corp Warthog REQ card description]]''</ref> The [[550 Scuderia StarSpeed M-12R]] would also see use in rally racing on [[New Carthage]] while configured as an LRV.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''', ''[[List of REQ cards/Vehicles|Rally Warthog REQ card description]]''</ref>
Within "[[Halo Wars]]" the Warthog (a model used in 2531) has a sort of "flooring" ability not seen in other Halo games. This allows the player to ramp the Warthog over canyons and other such jumps, reaching speeds and distances not seen in the other Halo games. This makes the Warthog a more versitile attack vehicle.


==Gameplay==
== Crew ==
===Changes from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 2''===
*The Warthog is no longer indestructible.
*Handling has been improved overall.
*Players in the passenger seat will be in third-person not in first-person.


===Changes from ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3:ODST'' to ''Halo 4''===
=== Driver ===
*Overheat was featured as firing continuously can make the turret overheated.
*Improved accuracy.


===''Halo: Spartan Strike''===
The driver has no forms of attack except ramming enemies with the Warthog itself, which instantly kills an enemy on foot in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. In ''[[Halo 2]]'', factors such as speed and direction do not allow every ram to be a guaranteed kill. Covenant enemies are able to dodge a ram much easier now; however, if driving in open spaces, before you attempt to ram or run over an enemy, try to slide the Warthog and hit the enemy with the side, that way, you have a better chance of killing them. A person carrying an objective item in multiplayer isn't allowed to get into the driver seat under default settings.
*On Mission A-3, the player can only man the Warthog's gunner seat.
*On Mission A-4, A-6 and E-3, the player can fire their weapon from the Warthog, though the gunner seat is inaccessible with reduced rate of fire.


===''Halo Wars 2''===
=== Passenger ===
*'''Info:''' Core Vehicle, Fast moving, Can ram enemies, Good all-round vehicle
*'''Tier:''' 2
*'''Cost''': Population 4, Supplies 250, Power 0
*'''Upgrade:''' Gauss Turret
*'''Tier:''' 3
*'''Cost''': Population 0, Supplies 0, Power 750
Chaingun Warthogs can be built by all UNSC leaders besides [[Morgan Kinsano]] and [[Avery Johnson]] at the Garage. Warthogs perform well against infantry and okay against vehicles, aircraft, and structures. They can be upgraded to Gauss Warthogs at Tier 3. In [[Blitz]], Warthogs cost 60 energy while Armored Warthogs cost 80 energy.


===''Halo Infinite''===
The passenger's seat is perhaps the most difficult spot to be, as it is nearly impossible to aim at nearby enemies while the Warthog is in motion. In Halo 2, targeting is made worse by the fact that the first-person view has been removed. The only use the passenger seat serves for player characters is for transporting the flag-carrier in multiplayer skirmishes. If you try to melee while in the passenger seat you will hear the attack and hear it hitting the car if you aim for it, but there is no animation (for the Spartan skin in Multiplayer. It is visible if you are using the [[Elite]] skin or playing as the [[Arbiter]]). [[Marines]], however, are a different story. Their aim is not affected by the jostling of off-road driving, and they are quite proficient at hitting enemies from the "[[shotgun]]" position. This can be used to a player's advantage if one gives a Marine in the passenger seat a powerful [[weapon]], such as the [[Rocket Launcher|rocket launcher]] or a [[Sniper Rifle|sniper rifle]]. In Halo 3, the [[plasma pistol]] is a popular choice for the passengers seat in vehicle combat due to it's vehicle stopping ability.
*In Campaign, the Chaingun Warthog can be called in from UNSC [[FOB]]s, and will be delivered by [[Echo 216]].

==Production notes==
=== Gunner ===
<!-- This section requires changes throughout the Halo franchise -->
 
*Initially, the name "M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle" was the name given to the default Warthog platform, with specific names given for Gauss, Troop Transport and Rocket variants. With the release of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', this was amended to clarify that the name of M12 Force Application Vehicle was the name of the overall platform, and the LRV designation is a variant specific to those vehicles mounting chainguns.
The gunner stands in the Warthog's turret and mans the heavy weapon mounted there, whether it be an [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]], [[M68 Gauss Cannon]], or [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret|Rocket Launcher]]. He is responsible for defending the driver and passenger of the Hog from incoming enemy vehicles. So as to not interrupt his line of fire, his heavy weapon is mounted on a 360-degree hydraulic-powered swivel-mount that is not affected by any erratic movement on the driver's part. A person carrying an objective item in multiplayer isn't allowed to use the Warthog's turret.
**The later introduction of the M12B chassis in ''Halo 4'' further confused this issue, as thus-far no Warthog has been referred to as the M12B LRV.
{{Clear}}
*Several Chaingun Warthog models have been constructed in real-life for various live-action trailers and media. The most famous of these is the Warthog constructed by [[WETA Workshop]] for ''[[Halo: Landfall]]'', and later reused in ''[[Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn]]''. More recently, a Warthog replica was constructed for display at ''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]''.
 
== Countermeasures ==
 
*Hit it with a rocket: This is the most obvious solution.
*Snipe the driver: If he is far enough away, try to kill the driver. Afterwards you can get the gunner because the turret isn't accurate enough to hit you at long distances.
*Board it: It won't kill anyone, but at least you're not dead. Only attempt this if there is only the driver on board.
*Use another vehicle: The Scorpion works best but others will do.
 
== Variants ==
 
=== M12 Warthog LRV ===
 
The M12 Warthog LRV (Light Reconnaissance Vehicle) is the most common type of Warthog used by the UNSC, being common in every Halo game to date. It uses a back-mounted [[M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun]] that is effective against both infantry and other vehicles, making this one of the most versatile Hogs around
 
=== [[M12A1 Warthog LAAV]] ===
[[Image:Halo scrn3.jpg|right|150px]]
The M12A1 Warthog LAAV (Light Anti Armor Vehicle) is a rare warthog that sports a back-mounted [[102mm SC-HE Rocket Turret]] which allows it to take out hard targets, such as enemy tanks, with ease. The downside of this is that this Warthog's turret is slow to reload and not as effective at taking out infantry. Additionally, players have found that firing the three rockets in rapid succession greatly decreases accuracy, resulting in them falling short or going over the heads of the intended target.
 
This Warthog variant is only seen in ''[[Halo PC]]'' and is replaced in Halo 2 by the M12G1 Warthog.
 
Note: Even though in the picture of the "Rocket Warthog" it has green paint with yellow stripes, in the game, it shows black paint with yellow stripes and matching seats.
 
=== [[M12G1 Warthog LAAV]] ===
[[Image:Warthog gauss.jpg|right|150px]]
The M12G1 Warthog LAAV is a fairly new warthog variant designed to replace the M12A1 model, substituting the rocket turret in favor of a faster firing [[M68 Gauss Cannon]]. It basically serves the same purpose of its predecessor, being primarily an anti-vehicular model, but with a faster rate of fire that increases its effectiveness against infantry.
 
=== [[M12 Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier]] ===
 
The Warthog Armored Personnel Carrier<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''</ref> is a [[United Rebel Front]] ground vehicle. It is essentially a M12 Warthog modified by the URF to include a heavily-armored passenger section capable of carrying troops and supplies. It has appeared in some Halo: Custom Edition maps like "w4rtorn cove" <ref>http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?pg=3&fid=857</ref>.
 
=== [[M831 TT]] ===
[[Image:Troop Carrier Hog.png|right|160px]]
This Warthog scraps the back-mounted turret in favor of four side-facing seats. This Warthog is ideal for transporting troops across the field. It has appeared in Halo 3 on the E3 Trailer and in campaign mode with several marines in the back and one riding shotgun and Master Chief driving. In a July 25 interview Chris Creamer stated that this warthog can "carry you and up to 4 Marines."<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12675</ref>
 
=== Other Variants ===
[[Image:H2 Warthog Concepts.jpg|center|450px|thumb|''Halo 2 Warthog Variants]]
'''M864 A "Snow Hog"''' - This Warthog has been adapted for cold weather, sporting treads for movement in snow and an enclosed passenger compartment. It also lacks the tell-tale turret. It has been seen in Halo: Custom Edition maps like Sneak or Coldsnap and acted as a desert variant in Hopeless War beta 0.6.
{{Clear}}
'''M914 RV "Jungle Hog"''' - This Warthog was made for easier movement in jungles, sporting a more powerful towing winch and a more powerful motor, as well as larger grooves in the tires for increased traction.
{{Clear}}
'''[[Civilian Warthog]]'''- Due to the success of the Warthog in battle situations, a [[Civilian Warthog|Civilian Variant]] was mass-produced for public use. The adaptation of military vehicles for civilian use has been seen before i.e. Hummer brand SUVs being based off military Humvees. The only difference between the civilian Warthog and its military counterparts is the lack of a turret. You can see this in the [[E3]] demo on a billboard and on the Halo 2 multiplayer map [[Headlong]] as well as some more billboards on the Halo: Custom Edition map New Mombasa Classic. It is also seen on Halo: Custom Edition maps like Streets of Earth City or Bussacap as a drivable vehicle. It is very fast and, like the [[Mongoose]] planned for [[Halo 3]], is very hard to control.
{{Clear}}
 
== Multiplayer Use ==
 
The Warthog is an extremely important aspect in multiplayer games. Because it is a multi-person vehicle, it is mostly used in team matches. Although there are people that enjoy running other players over by themselves. It is possibly the most used vehicle in capture the flag matches, as you can load 3 people in, have the person in the side seat go in and grab the flag, while the gunner gives cover fire and then they drive back.
 
== Character Compatibility ==
 
*[[Elites]]
*[[Spartans]]
*[[Marines]]
*[[Combat Form|Flood Combat Form]]s ([[Halo 2]] only)
 
== Trivia ==
 
*In the ''[[Halo_2|Halo 2]]'' level [[Outskirts|Outskirts]], it is possible to get an [[Invincible_Warthog|Invincible Warthog]]. The Hog will show damage but cannot be destroyed.
*In ''[[Halo:_Combat_Evolved|Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', [[Plasma_grenades|plasma grenades]] bounce off the Warthog's windshield.
*The replacement cost for one Warthog is [[CR|cR]] 52000.00.
*In [[Halo 2]], if you hold down the R button (honk the horn) without stopping for a while, the horn will stop sounding and you will be unable to use it again for a while.
*In [[Bungie]]'s information release on the Warthog (March 26, 2007), a code can be seen in the VideoRama of the Warthog, reading '''X.XX.713>ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing'''.
*In each Halo game, from the first to the last, it seems harder and harder to run people over while driving a warthog. In Halo 1, it was the easiest. In Halo 2, it got a little harder. In the Halo 3 Beta, it was nearly impossible to run people over (since the game is only beta, the difficulty might change in the future).
*WETA Studios, in New Zealand, built a full-scale, operating, accurate Warthog. It has several numbers on it, some possibly pertaining to that specific model, or maybe even that specific Warthog, including, but not limited to, 5c8611, N/AAV-20, and others.
*WETA's Warthog is accurate in every function, including a working chaingun, four-wheel steering, digital displays, air bags, and the ability to "crab crawl".<ref>http://www.wetaworkshop.co.nz/projects/filmography/film/halo3</ref>
*The easiest way to run over a Covenant in a Warthog is to observe which way they are about to jump and then suddenly change direction, causing the back wheels to spin and crush them.
