The Warthogs in the Warthog Run have modified gameplay traits, resembling the Warthogs from an earlier build of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. This was the result of designer [[Jaime Griesemer]] rebalancing the Warthog after the level geometry was already completed, which made it impossible for Warthogs to climb the steep ramps. Subsequently, the Warthogs in the Warthog Run were granted higher acceleration and speed to make it possible to complete the run.{{Ref/Reuse|IGN}} | The Warthogs in the Warthog Run have modified gameplay traits, resembling the Warthogs from an earlier build of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.
