===Disadvantages===
While fast, the M12 is prone to roll over very easily. It is vital that the driver can get in and out of dangerous situations without flipping the heavy and hard-to-right vehicle. The open nature of the Warthog always puts its driver and passengers at risk as a good marksman can easily take down the driver or passengers of the M12. A well thrown frag grenade can flip a Warthog, Which will knock the driver and passenger out of the vehicle.. Although the armor of the M12 is tough, a couple of direct hits from grenades or a well placed rocket will destroy it immediately. Covenant energy weapons are the biggest threat to the Warthog; a short burst from a Banshee's light [[Twin Plasma Cannons|plasma cannons]] is deadly. The Hog is also vulnerable to Banshee Bombs; a direct hit from a Fuel Rod Gun would damage it and reduce its occupant's shields, making them vulnerable to other light projectiles. Infantry plasma weapons can inflict moderate damage, and like all vehicles, a hit from an overcharged [[Plasma Pistol]] will leave it inoperable for a few moments. The M41 LAAG is prone to overheating, which requires the person operating the weapon to use it sparingly, or risk overheating the weapon. Failing to operate the weapon carefully will leave the operator vulnerable as they wait for the chaingun to cool down.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=25376 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 04.02.10'']</ref>
