Being AWD, the M12S Warthog CST is capable of a strong launch off the line without any wheelspin and features the best handling among the Extreme Offroad vehicles, only bested by several Rally Monsters vehicles. With its superior handling and braking over most other offroad-oriented vehicles partly thanks to its AWD drivetrain, which also gives it superior launch over most other AWD vehicles in the game, the M12S Warthog CST is ideal for offroad applications, including Cross Country races. With proper driving skill, it is capable of reaching at least top 25 in Class A Rivals leaderboards on short Cross Country Circuit or Scramble routes | Being AWD, the M12S Warthog CST is capable of a strong launch off the line without any wheelspin and features the best handling among the Extreme Offroad vehicles, only bested by several Rally Monsters vehicles.

With a stock 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 racing and leaving it at the mercy of the likes of other offroad-oriented vehicles like the Local Motors Rally Fighter and Opel Manta 400, and obviously, hypercars/supercars like the McLaren Senna, Koenigsegg Jesko, 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 F-150 Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 are superior, especially on longer routes. | With a stock Speed rating of only 4.3 (out of a maximum of 10; 5.2 in ''Forza Horizon 4''; 4.2 in ''Forza Horizon 5''), 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 racing and leaving it at the mercy of the likes of other offroad-oriented vehicles like the Local Motors Rally Fighter and Opel Manta 400, and obviously, hypercars/supercars like the McLaren Senna, Koenigsegg Jesko, and Porsche Carrera GT.

* The M12S now has a new engine swap: the TVR Cerbera Speed 12's 7.7 L V12, which costs 50,000 CR and has a stock power rating of 800 hp (596 kW; 811 PS). However, it is heavier and overall less effective than the Racing 7.2 L V8 swap. | |||
* The M12S's transmission can now be upgraded to have more than 6 gears, up to a maximum of 10. This can be done whether the vehicle is AWD or RWD. | |||
* The vehicle's front engine bay can no longer be opened in Forzavista. | |||

* 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. | * 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. | ||

* 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. | * 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. | ||

** The reason for the red crosses' removal is that the International Red Cross objects to the use of red cross symbols in inappropriate contexts.
