Halo 3: A new and improved Warthog

The Warthog is now a super-deluxe killing machine. Not because we've changed the Hog itself very much, although graphically it's seen some significant upgrades, but rather because of how your AI buddies behave when you're driving the thing. First off, beeping the horn seems to bring any nearby Marine running (although they will come based on suitability for the task at hand - more on that in a future update) and hopping straight into the gunner turret.

In previous Halo games, the gunners were smart and would pick off targets in a logical fashion, but this time around, and it could be my imagination, the gunners are more precise and easier to influence. You can target individual bad guys by steering the Hog and even "convince" your gunner to pick a more relevant target and have him stop trying to blast a lone grunt hiding behind a rock when a bigger menace approaches.
