Tallgeese Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 So here is a vid of the mantis in action...it would seem it takes some decent damage but its shields are slow to recharge...what do you think? http://halo4nation.com/videos/a-handful-of-gameplays/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Oracle Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Not looking forward to being t-bagged by the mantis that's for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks for the info. Nice find. Did anyone else notice that you can call in gravity hammers for ordnance??? THAT IS AWESOME Yeah I noticed that too...too bad we cant customize our ordinance drops. Its random every time depending on the map. The only constant is that it has a grenade, a power up, and a power weapon. If we ould customize, it would be bad, everyone would have the Binary Rifle or something to one shot kill whenever they got an ordinance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy I lolcats Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think the Mantis is a nice, balanced vehicle now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually you can customize ordinance, but I'm not sure if its just in certain modes or what. There's an interview with that one guy from 343i about it.

NJL Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 the mantis is good but has its downfall like any other vehicle.. there is no perfect vehicle in any game just the one that people prefer the most. if anything i look forward to the editions 4 brings.

You have to find one if it spawns on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 343 said that you can't get a Binary Rifle in ordinance. You have to find one if it spawns on the map. Well thats good...not like it matters cuz we cant customize ordinance anyways lol Actually you can customize ordinance, but I'm not sure if its just in certain modes or what. There's an interview with that one guy from 343i about it. Yes you can customize Ordinance in Custom Games, but you can not customize Ordinance in War Games. You can customize your loadouts but not the ordinance drops, those are random and change depending on the map and the gametype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureNomad Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Not looking forward to being t-bagged by the mantis that's for sure But it'll be hella funny to t-bag a mantis, if you manage to take 'em down. It looks like a quick plasma pistol then bomb assassination is quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intolimbo Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The thing can shrug off a direct lazer blast so yea, in the right hands and with the right enemies the thing could easily go 30-0. (K-D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallgeese Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The thing can shrug off a direct lazer blast so yea, in the right hands and with the right enemies the thing could easily go 30-0. (K-D) One lazer blast yes, but so too can a Scorpion now...one lazer no longer kills the tanks, unless you hit it right down the middle or driver section (which in that case only the driver would die and the tank would be fine.) After the initial hit of the lazer, the Mantis' shields take 7 seconds to recharge, thats 2x as long as infantry shields. Now put someone with operator in the mantis and it will be beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could imagine how crazy things would get if it were any different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
