M12 Chaingun Warthog: Difference between revisions

The passenger's seat is perhaps the most difficult spot to use effectively, as it is extremely difficult to aim at nearby enemies while the Warthog is in motion. In ''Halo 2'', targeting is altered by the fact that the camera now pulls out to [[third-person view]]. The main use the passenger seat serves for player characters is transporting the flag/bomb-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. Being computer-controlled, 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|plasma pistol]] is a popular choice for the passenger's seat in vehicular combat due to its vehicle stopping ability.
