=== Disadvantages ===
With a Speed rating of only 4.3 (out of a maximum of 10; 5.2 in ''Forza Horizon 4''), owed to by its aforementioned top speed of {{convert|192|km/h|mph|sp=us}}, the M12S Warthog CST's top speed is among the lowest of all the Extreme Offroad vehicles, making it unsuitable for long distance driving and leaving it at the mercy of the likes of other Extreme Offroad vehicles like the Local Motors Rally Fighter and, obviously, hypercars/supercars like the McLaren Senna and Porsche Carrera GT. Even with gearing adjusted for higher top speed, it is still disadvantaged by its slower acceleration at speeds above {{convert|180|km/h|mph|sp=us|sigfig=3}}, discouraging the use of this vehicle for drag races past a quarter mile (402 m). In addition, the Warthog is very limited with its upgrades, with only the tires, rims, and drivetrain being upgradable (including the RWD swap). In Class A, the Ford Ranger Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 are superior, especially on longer routes.

* If the player creates a design for the M12S CST and selects a manufacturer decal to put on the vehicle, the player has access to five unique manufacturer decals: three variations of the post-[[Human-Covenant War]] [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] logo and two identical variations of the Liang-Dortmund Corporation logo.

* Despite having the ability to backfire, no exhaust flames can be seen coming out of the M12S CST due to having no visible exhaust pipes modeled.

* If customized with different rims (e.g. HRE P40SC), it is possible to see the M12S CST's brake calipers. However, the M12S CST's brakes never heat up even under heavy braking, unlike other cars in the series.

** This is likely because these brake calipers are poorly detailed or modeled and the M12S CST's brakes cannot be upgraded either.

* In ''Forza Horizon 3'', a glitch sometimes exists in Forzavista where if the player opens the M12S CST's engine bay, a pitch black graphic obscures part of the engine bay.

* When the M12S CST appears as a non-player-controlled model (e.g. in Forzavista), its cluster gauges revert back to the static ones (with "125 KPH" speed readings) found in the interiors of the ''[[Halo 4]]'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians'' Warthogs.

* As of Series 11 (July 2019) in ''Forza Horizon 4'', the red crosses on the medical kits in the M12S CST have been permanently removed, just like with the [[health pack]]s in the ''Halo'' series.

** The reason for the red crosses' removal is that the International Red Cross objects to the use of red cross symbols in inappropriate contexts. In 2006, the Red Cross took the position that use of red cross symbols in video game "health kits" is inappropriate, and game developers ceased using them.<ref>[http://boingboing.net/2006/02/09/canadian-red-cross-w.html '''BoingBoing.net''' - ''Canadian Red Cross wastes its money harassing video game makers'']</ref>
