Game Mode for Halo 4 idea - 'Prey Mantis'

[Archangel Tyrael]

I was thinking since the Mantis is confirmed to be in Matchmaking

http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/14512-ragnarok-and-mantis-trailer/?do=findComment&comment=155800, there should be a mode called 'Prey Mantis'.

 

What is that you say? A survival game.

 

Here is how it goes. 1-2 players are randomly chosen to be in a Mantis and hunting down other players in the Mantis in a survival type mode. They can destroy the Mantis' or either hide.

 

Players that aren't in the Mantis get increased movement speed. Loadouts picked specifically for this game type and no custom loadouts. There will be no place a mantis can't get to places, would be unfair for the player(s) to win the match because someone can't be killed.

 

Recent ideas:

 

Non Mantis players will have a Thrusterpack, Active Camo and Regeneration Field to choose from.

 

Give me your opinions on this, submit your own and thanks for reading!

I like the idea, but I feel like a few twists could make it more interesting :0 Maybe have a map designed specifically for it to provide these things

I think it should be called "Preying Mantis" lol And it should definitely be in Action Sack.

If Mantis' are available in Forge (and I don't see a reason why they shouldn't) I can see game modes like this happening.

I call dibs on being the first to play it other than yourself

Ya dude i think that game play would be awesome i kinda like the idea of it.

That sounds pretty cool maybe it could be like infection, when the players not in the mantis are killed they spawn in a mantis too?

[Spyro]

I have only one thing to say at the mere thought of this, and that one thing is.....BRING IT ON!!!

[Ryu♥Hayabusa]

Definitely a new gametype for maps!

[Online Denied]

You defintaly need to make a map for this it would be epic.

I was kinda thinking of that concept, except more like a Juggernaut version of that lol

[DoctorB77]

Sounds amazingly fun. I hope you or someone else makes this game if it is possible

Or have the people crouching with invis barely under the floor in an arena style map and the mantis has to find and squash people with its power stomp

This is also a good idea +Liked

[Ventus]

+1, let's make this happen!

[EliteSniper]

What about griffball with mantis?

Anyway, nice post!

[Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs]

Sounds dope Tyrael.

 

How about adding AI Drones to the Sandbox and reenact the Matrix Revolutions fight for Zion?

...the non mantis players could have thruster pack or something, but way less, so they actually have to move before thrusting

[DarknessX03]

That seems cool too.

[Shokyr]

Make a Custom Game, throw it on your File Share. I'd play it.

[Online Denied]

Defiantly need to make this it would be scary n fun. You need to make a minotaur aswell.

[highplainsdrifter]

Maybe a Crazy King mode too? Predated players have to come out into the open to win, exposing themselves strategically, or simply kill other players attempting to gain points...

 

What other objective type modes would this work with? (maybe I'm getting off topic?)
