===Disadvantages===
While fast, the M12 is prone to roll over very easily. It is vital that the driver can get in and out of dangerous situations without flipping the heavy and hard-to-right vehicle. The open nature of the Warthog always puts its driver and passengers at risk as a good marksman can easily take down the driver or passengers of the M12. Although the armor of the M12 is tough, a couple of direct hits from grenades or a well placed rocket will end its reign of terror almost immediately. Covenant energy weapons are the biggest threat to the Warthog; a direct hit from a Banshee's light [[Twin Plasma Cannons|plasma cannons]] will render the vehicle inoperable and kill its passengers. If the M12 were to be hit by a Covenant fuel rod gun from either infantry or a Banshee, the Hog would instantly catch fire and be reduced to a smoldering chunk of steel. Infantry plasma weapons can inflict moderate damage; if the Hog is hit with enough the vehicle may be disabled, and a direct hit to the front of the Warthog from an overcharged [[plasma pistol]] will melt the steel and flash vaporize the hydrogen contents within the engine, severely damaging it and leaving it inoprable for a few moments
