HOLY FUCK JUST KEEP THE ARTICLE ON ONE PAGE, NOT SPREAD OUT ACROSS 8.
While I have your attention, could all the people with a stupidly long alias with pointless crap after their name please refrain from using. Yes, I know I don't have to read it, yes I know I can scroll straight past it, and yes, I know it truncates them fairly well, but I honestly do not see the point of adding it on the end. It only makes threaded discussions look like shit when people don't remove the rest. Please, do the rest of Kotaku a favour and stick to just being like every other normal person out there -- with a small, quick and easily identifiable name and let your actual posts do your talking.

@Neko_Tech: no, no, he's sleeping. i'm just as qualified at poisoning food as he is. ...alright...here's some marshmallows...some nails covered in BBQ sauce...3 turducken stuffed camels...12 dozen eggs with the fuck mixed out of them...OH WAIT! ive been using the Gabe Newell recipe! sorry...go get witzbolt....
How do you guys think this thing would preform on a real world battlefield? I'm gonna have to say the gunner is a little to exposed for me to get up there and do the blasting...
@C_MaN15: You're right with that. It probably would've worked back in the days of Jeeps, though.
Granted, we still must bear in mind that the modern vehicle armament will still have at least a third of the combatant unshielded at any time they are standing ready at the turret.

@Soldier_CLE reads Arcade Mania!, *is* pleased.: If anything for operations out in the African savannahs I suppose eh? Since personally with the current warthog setup I can see the poor thing getting chewed up to hell in an urban situation. Even more so the gunner.
Though as we both spoke of earlier not being able to carry around ones gear usually = bad lol.
Even worse is if the warthog is easy to "tip" that isnt going to be a good thing either, since we still have folks managing to tip over all the other types of vehicles out there that arent suposed to normally. So kinda giving em a "helping hand" in terms of stability Id say is a big no no on the checklist of things one would want lol.
I'll stick with a GMV-S. It's got better armament ability, better storage ability, better suspension and it's less likely to tip over. Add that it's configured to have side gunner ability, and you can blitz through the LA riots with these!
Maybe an off-handed remark, but I bet you that the former ROK troops that bought stores in LA's Koreatown would've wanted one of these!

Now if only they could ship this to Iraq and try doing some missions with it (all videoed of course), then I'd like to see the US Army adopt them as their official transport and draught all the skilled Halo players to go run missions in them.
@diebroken: Technically, that's a CUCV, though it's basically the same thing.
There are plans to replace them though with something that can take better impact/blast from (VB)IEDs. Some units might see them fielded soon.@
Witzbold: You're absolutely right :) A Warthog looks like it carries two sitting, one standing, as opposed to an Armored HUMV that can have up to four sitting, and one standing in it's turret (when configured with the "turtle shell") It should be noted that the "turtle shells" leak easily, and are prone to rain problems.
That said, you might already know that we already have "ALTERNATIVES" to the HUMV for our Special Operations Groups :)
