Halo’s Warthog will appear in Forza Horizon 3 as one of the game’s 350 plus vehicles. This is the first time in Forza history that a Halo vehicle will be featured in the car lineup.
The car is officially called the 2554 AMG Transport Dynamics M12S Warthog CST. It is the civilian version of the truck in the Halo games, the M12 Force Application Vehicle.
There is no turret on Forza Horizon 3‘s variant, but it does have a 720 BHP twin-turbo V8 engine, which makes it faster than its military counterpart.
“The Warthog CST in Forza Horizon 3 is also ideally suited for the rough and tumble landscape of Australia,” Microsoft said in a blog post. “With the most advanced suspension in Forza Horizon 3 (with more than 70 cm of suspension travel), plus advanced dampening, you won’t find the combination of power and stability like this anywhere else in the Horizon Festival.”
People who played Halo 5: Guardians or Halo: The Master Chief Collection will receive a code to download the car starting the week of September 5th. Those who do not have either games can acquire the car by earning it in a “Forzathon” Forza Horizon 3 event in October.
