*Always drive the Warthog at top speed or you may die rather quickly. Tell your gunner or if you are the gunner and is facing an enemy Warthog, shoot at the enemy gunner, not the Warthog itself.

*Unless absolutely necessary, do NOT use ~~a chaingun~~ turret without a driver. You are just asking the other team to grenade you or snipe you. It is reasonable in a Gauss turret due to its lethal power, but change positions often or you could be easily overwhelmed.

*Watch for grenades when driving the Warthog. A well timed grenade can flip you over or even kill you, so it is best to drive at a steady pace. However, a steady or slow pace means you are an easy target for rockets and plasma grenades.

*It is very tempting to splatter enemies with the Warthog, try not to do this because it can get you hijacked or make you much more vulnerable to a Plasma Grenade stick. Instead, back away and let the gunner rip them to pieces!

*If you turn your camera ninety degrees clockwise from the front of your Warthog before being hijacked, you have a one second chance to assassinate them and take back what's yours. Use this to get a nice, easy kill, assuming the hijack damage doesn't kill you. Likewise, the hijacker can turn their camera ninety degrees counter-clockwise from the front of the Warthog and quickly melee when the hijacking animation is done. This prevents them from being assassinated and will instantly kill the hijacked player.

*Warthogs can be used as effective entrance jammers. This is especially useful in CTF, meaning they will have to either remove it or destroy it, giving you time to find out and eliminate them.

*If you are driving a Warthog with your friend and hear the bleeping which means you're being targeted by a [[Missile Pod]], do NOT get out! Find the nearest available cover and hide behind it. With any luck, the pod user will have used all of his missiles on you. Get back in the Warthog with your friend and take him out. If you can't find any cover, ~~abandon ship~~!

*If you see an enemy Warthog on the horizon and you only have a sniper rifle and a close range weapon, a good idea is to throw a couple of frag grenades and overturn the Warthog. The occupants will be forced to exit and while they are running around helplessly, you can snipe them. You should only try this tactic if you are a confident sniper. A good map to try this tactic on is "Valhalla".

*In ''Halo: CE'' and ''Halo 3'', one of the best tactics to take down a rampant Warthog is to get as close to it as possible and stick it with a plasma grenade, the tactic is very difficult and has the greatest possible risk of killing you as well, however if the stick is successful, and destroys the vehicle, the sacrifice is worth it.

Line 109:

*Surprisingly, a Warthog is vulnerable to a turret. The turret can sometimes be the best weapon to bring down a distracted Warthog.

*If you have to go up against a Warthog with a gunner, with no power weapons, the grenade tactic becomes even harder, it can still be done, but you will have to place yourself as close to the warthog as you can.

*When circling an enemy base with your Warthog, it is usually best to drive clockwise around it. This puts more of the Warthog in between ~~the driver~~ and the enemy base, making it harder to be killed by light weaponry.

*In most maps, for example "Blood Gulch", the map has some road like trenches in it, driving on these is highly recommended as this makes flipping less likely and the sides give you some cover from enemy attack. The only weakness is the length which is a lot longer as you are ~~zigzagging~~.

*Be aware that the Rocket Hog in ''Halo: CE'' have a limited range below the turret, so unlike other variants using it as a turret on a high place is unpractical, this also leads to a weak spot easily used by a crouching enemy.

*If you find yourself dodging a Warthog, one strategy is to board the passengers seat. While in the the passengers seat, it is possible to melee the driver and beat him/her to death.

*It is a good idea for the player in the passenger seat to wield a Rocket Launcher, Spartan Laser, or Shotgun, due to ~~having good kill radius~~ and ~~is a good weapon~~ to keep enemy players from grenading the Warthog.
