OXM: We Drove The Warthog

OXM writes:

"I don't have a driver's liscense. That was my first thought when OXM suggested shipping me off to New Zealand to get behind the wheel of a full-size working replica of Halo's Warthog, built by Peter Jackson's Weta Workshop. It's a really big four-wheel-drive monster with a whopping machine gun on top. And there's only one of them roaring around on the face of the planet. 'I don't have a license,' I thought. 'I can't drive an automatic, let alone a manual. This is all going to end badly. Oh god.'"

How overhyped is Halo. Such a mediocre game dressed up as something cool. Fun for teens or anyone who's never played an FPS on the PC.

What a waste of money! Make an Assassin's Creed or Gears Movie instead please!

Eiffel5580d ago

If anything is over hyped Gears takes that position in my eyes, worst TPS I have ever played.

As for Assassins Creed....Its better left as a game honestly.

And no this is not a waste of money, you forget in the movie industry you can wrap a piece sh!t in tinfoil film it for 2 hours and the audience will love it. In turn sh1t movie, for your money.

However. Peter Jackson may be able to pull off a franchise like Halo and make it into a pretty great movie. I was still surprised what he did with King Kong, even making Jack Black play a serious role which to me was a first to my eyes.

So you may get your bang for your buck if this movie does do well.

zoydwheeler5580d ago

Would you? Would you really? If you said it to me I would actually want to hit you in the eyes.

It is a stupid, childish way to speak/write. I can only imagine you are ten or younger.

mintaro5580d ago

Of course he wouldn't say that out loud, it'd be like saying lol or lmao out loud. Why would you ask such a dumb question?

zoydwheeler5580d ago (Edited 5580d ago )

Unless you were a child. Or an adult who tragically sufferered from a serious mental deficiency that made you act and speak and write like a child?

Why not attempt to write and speak in such a way as to communicate what you want to write or say to others? Instead of making up embarrassing playground talk with your internet friends?

I'm genuinely intrigued as to why grown adults would want to do this? I actually imagine (hope) you are both 12 or 13 tops. If not, then... maybe try reading some books?

LeonSKennedy4Life5580d ago

Yes, I would say that out loud.

I've never met a person that DIDN'T like Peter Jackson.

I'm in college and almost everyone here and every college I've been to have said the phrase "full of win" out loud.

You're just trying to get me back for the other day. It's ohkay. Keep trying though. You'll get there.

solidsnakus5580d ago

peter jackson sucks, seriously wtf ever happend to the halo game they announced ... 2 years ago?? damn faags.

zoydwheeler5580d ago

What happened the other day? Did I miss an important N4G meeting?

MerkinMax5580d ago

ROFL LMAO FULL OF WIN SAUCE! I would hit you in the eyes just because your acting like someones mommy.

zoydwheeler5580d ago

Someone's Mommy. You see, the apostrophe indicates the possessive.

As in, for example, someone's inability to express themselves clearly. Someone's inability to socialise with others. Someone's inability to stop masturbating over their own misguided sense of superiority over others because they can talk baby leet speak.

And so on. U utter tw8t.

LinuxGuru5580d ago

Zoydwheeler, you're in way over your head. Don't even bother.

For those who don't know Weta was responsible for the Audi future cars seen in "I,Robot"

*Fun-Fact*

MaximusPrime5580d ago

im impressed with the warthog. If the film is actually happening, it looks like its going to be a great film.

Peter Jackson is a great director. Im not sure how will he fare with science fiction film.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Sgt_Slaughter85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

FinalFantasyFanatic85d ago

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

PhillyDonJawn85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

kaos8985d ago

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

jznrpg85d ago

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
