buffy the spartan buffalo Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 just saw the new mantis trailer and i must say it looks awsome!!! but do you guys think its OP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shado12 lol Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 From what I have herd the mantis only seems over powered when you don't no how to counter it but when you know how to counter it can be taken out with relative ease. and another thing I don't care on your point on weather it is op or not a legit tee bagging vehicle is awesome.

buffy the spartan buffalo Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 i agree with the tee bagging robot is awsome but i didnt hear that maybe it can be countered easily. maybe it has a weak spot or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Feux Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 It's cool, but OP as fu. It would be fun watching the MLG pros battling in those things, that's not gonna happen though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real Talk Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 A new vehicle is always a good thing unless its you know its....OP. I dont really know much about this mantis , I would guess its not to OP though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooliest Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Well so far the thing they've said makes it not OP is the fact that it turns very slowly. For instance if you are on foot you can strafe around the mantis faster than it can turn so you will never be shot at. They also said that just like any other new vehicles in previous Halo games it took about 2-3 matches before you understood how to defeat it and then it didn't seem so scary. So likewise for the Mantis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 If it is OP 343i will mess around with it. They will not just have it ruin matchmaking. I am not to worried about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerdude1635 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 From the looks of all the firepower that thing has, i am certain that it is VERY lightly armoured, like armour that rivals a Ghost or Mongoose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEF214 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Before saying its op how about we play in it first. The reason it was destroying everything and everyone with ease in the trailer is because it was supposed to showcase its badassness. I thought people got that... I'm sure 343 won't throw an uber op mech vehicle into the mix at the last minute come on guys haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they did this on purpose to add more explosions and to make it look more badass. It's a shame people don't consider this a possibility, they just shout "OP!"

iTz Vplus2 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 To me the Mantis looks beastly and since i don't know how much damage in can take, i don't know if it's OP or not. But it seems to be fast and very deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems to be fast and very deadly. Hopefully not too deadly though xD I was thinking that most of the ownage in the video (On the Scorpion especially) was hyping the Mantis, but it still looks awesome and I'm looking forward to operating it!

11LSTANLEY Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I reckon its going to be easy to deal with in games and especially if you are able to spawn with a plasma pistol. It will probably be easier to take out than a Scorpion with the plasma pistol if it is unable to shoot or move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I wonder if when you EMP it, will it act like a Wraith and shut down temporarily, or will it act like the Scorpion and still be able to oscillate it's cannon? That'll be a huge deciding factor if it's OP or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventus Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 with a spartan laser and some rockets no vehicle is overpowered. Agreed, just play a BTB game on Reach and you'll learn that the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epyon Pilot Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Be happy the thing isn't 50ft high lol. I can't wait to get some friends and spawn several of them in Customs, that will be entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
