Halo Warthog
Forza is the main driving game on Xbox.
If you wanted to (virtually) drive the most badass vehicles of them all,
though, you had to pop in a different disk. But not anymore, because the
Microsoft has ported over the Warthog from Halo to Forza Horizon 3.
Before you get all excited about the
prospect of blowing up rival supercars with the Warthog's gun turret, we should
point out that the model coming to Forza is the 2554 AMG Transport Dynamics
M12S Warthog – the civilian version of the M12 Force Application Vehicle that
Master Chief John-117 drives on duty for the United Nations Strategic Command
in the Halo series. But what it lacks in firepower it makes up for with more
power.
The disarmed Warthog packs a
720-horsepower twin-turbo V8 to make it even faster than the military version.
It also boasts 70 cm of suspension travel to soak up whatever the terrain has
to throw at it, whether it's in the Australian Outback where Horizon 3 is set,
or the planet Reach in the Halo universe.
The vehicle will be available to
download for free for anyone who's played the latest Halo games on Xbox One, or
can be won in the upcoming #Forzathon event in October. Forza Horizon 3 hits
shelves on September 27 (four days after the pre-release of the Ultimate
Edition). With the discs now being pressed – and after a succession of weekly
updates – the developers have revealed all of the 350+ vehicles that will be
available to play in the game, which you can check out in the third graphic
below.
