тυcкєя Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Whats your thought of the Mantis? My thought honestly, Is I think the Mantis kind of ruins Matchmaking In Halo 4. But, I think It kind of makes It more challenging. Which I love. Im thinking maybe they should take It out of Slayer and other game types and only have the Mantis In Capture The Flag, which Is pretty much the only game type that needs the Mantis. Now, I am not trying to complain but, I am letting out my thoughts about the Mantis. Also, I think It Is very powerful and good In combat.

ForgeMonitor Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 It's definitely balanced out by load-outs with Plasma Pistols and stickies. I think that playlists like BTB objective should have more centralized game-play that highlights Warthog combat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForgeMonitor Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 @OP I do agree that the Mantis is not the best addition in Slayer gametypes because it locks down half of a large map like Ragnarok. I am, however, excited to see how it plays on Outcast, one of the Castle maps, with the Wraith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Hansen Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 The mantis largely comes down to who is driving it. I've seen them get wrecked in seconds, and seen them go on to live for extended periods of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redifer117 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I agree the mantis can be annoying (especially if they have both) But on CTF they can spawn trap which is so annoying but it only happened to me once and me team wasnt trying to use plasma pistols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadly Just AL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I love it , and I wonder if you can flip it over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 The mantis is mainly used as a support vehicle. The machine gun lacks accuracy at range and the rockets require reloads in between bursts of fire. if a driver simply uses it for an offensive push, it is likely that the vehicle will go down in a minute or so. it had pt itself in an easy position to be shot with an EMP and become hijacked. When I drive, I usually allow my infantry teammates to create "front line" ahead of me. That gives me protection from enemies that may try to board my mantis, while I provide covering for my teammates. I usually find myself getting a mere killing spree with 10-15 assists while lasting half of the game. I choose to be a team player if I have use of the mantis, instead of making costly decisions trying to rack up kills for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iOS 14 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 the mantis in spartan ops and campaign os good, but in matchmaking is TERRIBLE. the main reason is because of its low damage and fast overheat of its chain gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
