Forza Horizon n 5 lets players travel through Mexico in one of Halo's high-tech warthogs. The futuristic tank includes a subtle Easter egg.
Racing simulator Forza Horizon n 5 has a drivable warthog from Halo. The top speed of the futuristic tank refers to the science fiction shooting game series. Although one focuses on driving and the other focuses on using high-tech weapons to fight hostile aliens, Forza Horizon and Halo are both Xbox's most popular exclusive series. Although Forza Horizon 5 has many cars, few are as good as the unstoppable warthog.
Forza Horizon 5 by Playground Games is a high-speed racing simulator that takes place in an open world game in Mexico. Players can customize their own drivers, at this time the game will take them into an open world, where they can choose where to go and how fast to go there. There are a variety of different game types to choose from, each of which provides players with a whole new way to break the road and leave their game behind. The huge racing simulator also includes a large number of different cars to choose from, and the developers include all car manufacturers from Dodge to Audi. Forza Horizon 5’s early access has attracted nearly 1 million players, which shows that the game was already very popular before its release on November 9.

Forza Horizonn 5 allows players to control the iconic warthog of the Halo franchise. Reddit user Divide-By-Zero88 has discovered a clever Easter egg. Although adding modules to the futuristic war machine can make it run faster, the basic maximum speed of Warthog is at an appropriate 117 miles per hour. This very specific number undoubtedly refers to the armored protagonist of the science fiction shooting game series, Master Chief, whose real name is John-117. Since Master Chief and Warthog are both highly iconic aspects of the Halo franchise, it seems logical for Forza Horizon 5 to cite both while paying tribute to its Xbox exclusive giant.
Although Halo’s warthog has appeared in previous Forza Horizon games, the latest installment of the racing simulation series also includes references to other game icons. Forza Horizon 5 includes Easter eggs in the unlockable car horns of many games, which play tunes and sounds from various other games. The unique noise comes from games such as DOOM, Banjo-Kazooie, Sea of Thieves, Ori and Blind Forest, and of course Halo. All of these well-loved games are published by Xbox Game Studios, so "Forza Horizon 5" seems to deliberately pay tribute to the Xbox exclusive brothers through these interesting Easter eggs.
Although Forza Horizon 5 has a large number of awesome real-world cars to race, it’s hard to deny that the warthog is one of the greatest vehicles in the game. Riding a large sci-fi military vehicle on the gorgeous roads of Mexico is unmissable, and the top speed of 117 mph is the icing on the cake. By adding this small and meaningful Halo Easter egg, Playground Games was able to pay homage to the most popular first-person shooter game in the game.
