The Warthog is the modern-day "Jeep": all of its variants are equipped with a seemingly full-time 4x4 transmission, the ability to turn its front and rear wheels to allow for tighter turning, and 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). 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. The passenger, or shotgun seat, is the worst spot to be in, it is very difficult to aim (made even harder in ''Halo 2'' with the removal of the first person view in the seat) while the warthog is moving, and if you try to reload, you will automatically jump out if you hold the X button too long. The gunner stands on the back of the Warthog and uses that particular variant's main weapon, may it be a chaingun, gauss cannon, or rocket launcher. | The Warthog is the modern-day "Jeep": all of its variants are equipped with a seemingly full-time 4x4 transmission, the ability to turn its front and rear wheels to allow for tighter turning, and 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).
