Tallgeese Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Think this will be in War Games or just Spartan Ops and Campaign? Kind of hoping it is in War Games...looks sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone501 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think they'll treat it like the sabre in reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I think they'll treat it like the sabre in reach Correct, the Mantis will not be playable in War Games. It will definitely be used in Campaign, with the possibility of it showing up in Spartan Ops (there has been nothing confirmed yet). I'm looking forward to mowing through Crawlers.

Robius5991 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Wow, having this mech-like machine could really add some interesting aspects to War Games. I was a little worried that the weapons would be the only "large" change to gameplay, but the addition of such a vehicle would drastically alter certain instances and maps while playing online. I'm pretty hyped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I wonder if it can jump or take a fall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessX03 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 i just wonder how powerful its gonna be lol It looks like the War Games version (I say version because it looks smaller) will be effective against infantry and small vehicles at best, but could be easily taken out by a couple shots from a power weapon. (Excluding the Spartan Lazor, which would take only one lol) I wonder if it can jump or take a fall? I hope so, but for some reason I feel doubtful of the jumping. Taking a fall probably but not without damaging it considerably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cahill Rebel Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I can already see people making mech battle maps with different types of terrain on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone501 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I can already see people making mech battle maps with different types of terrain on them. It'll be interesting to see how many 343 can get on screen, im guessing 4 max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinodares Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 it cant jump, forgot source, sorry, but it will be pretty interesting, but the spawn time is only 3-4 minutes in some gameplay vids. that worries and excites me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone501 Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Here's a trailer for it TRAILER Here more screen from Ragnarok (aka Valhalla) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robius5991 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I can already see people making mech battle maps with different types of terrain on them. You're totally right. I can see a lot of potential for a wide variety of Custom Games / Mini-games. This could end up being a very cool and original addition to the Halo 4 experience overall. Is it official confirmed to be in Forge/Custom games though? Or is it still unknown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Halo Player Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I feel like it's over powering with a HMG, rocket launcher, and can kill a scorpian really fast, so you should try killing from afar or sneaking and hijacking.

I agree. It seems to be very op, because it has good weapons and it is very fast. I hope it is not to difficult to beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I agree. It seems to be very op, because it has good weapons and it is very fast. I hope it is not to difficult to beat it. I don't think 343 will create a map that has only one Mantis spawn. It'll be available for both teams to allow a fair battlegrounds; especially with a tank and a banshee to balance out that equation, it just comes down to who sees who first.

Jezzertle26 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I agree. It seems to be very op, because it has good weapons and it is very fast. I hope it is not to difficult to beat it. I don't think we can say yet to be sure, we've seen its power but thats one emeny's not shooting at it, so we have no clue how much it can take, it might be very weak or strong, also the scorpian in the video was isnt even looking at the mantis when it got murderd, so maybe the scorpian will still be top dog, also the banshee's movement speed and roll ablitys will make it hard for the mantis to track you, plus also all the banshee's we saw get destroyed didn't even shoot at it, plus when you take in the actual size of this beast of a machine, then you can tell there is no where to really hide, so its going to be taking alot of fire from all sides at all times, but that my opinion but we still wont know until we see it being killed by other vehicles.
