FaTaL's Vehicle Review

[FaTaL]

This is a little deal I like to do in order to see who all is on the same page as me, as well as to express my opinion including the pros and cons of each vehicle I use or is most widely used in matchmaking.

 

The BANSHEE! - The Banshee is pretty sweet, it has the newly added banshee bombs you can toggle to by hitting "Y" as well as the old style plasma turret bullets as a default weapon selection. The banshee bomb is THE BOMB as far as damage is concerned. Guaranteed one shot drop on any normal shielded spartan on the playing field. The Banshee's default weapon seems a little weaker but I am not certain if it is weak or if it has just been a while since I have used one. The banshee also has changed the was it flips and spins to get out of danger and dodge whatever may be coming its way. I still enjoy the ability to barrel roll left and right, but the back flips don't do the banshee much justice in low flying situations like the older banshees used to. They just sorta..flip, unlike the older models that would flip and take you a little higher to evade being boarded and what not.

 

The Warthog - The warthog is still the same old warthog we are used to seeing based on superficial appearance. If you look inside the dashboard where the little signal bars used to indicate the power/speed the warthog was at, it is now replaced with some high tech sensors which gives it that cosmetic bonus. As far as the weapons go, The turret Warthog has a little issue with the aiming. As compared to older warthogs, this new version takes more bullets to kill someone and it is much harder to lock in on an opponent with your circle reticule. As much as I would like to "like" this warthog..it is nothing more than a super sized mongoose to me; just for transportation! However! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see the Gauss hog make an appearance on Halo 4. I know they have put in a new Warthog in the campaign what shoots a laser such as like the one the Spartan Laser cannon shoots. The Laser Warthog is neat and fun, but not the same as out old friendly Gauss Hog . (Has anyone tested the Warthog's ability to destroy Ghosts in a head on collision kind of like before in Halo 2 and 3?)

 

The Ghost - Well, not much to say here folks, the ghost is it's normal self if I had anything to say about it. Shoots the same, strafes side to side like usual, boosting ability, front end lift with the pressing and holding of "A" boosting...It is nice, but nothing fancy.

 

The Mantis - Oh boy, I felt like a little kid about in a candy shop when I first spawned on Ragnarok and seen this bad boy!! It looked so..BADASS, if you will. This Vehicle is Halo's Optimus Prime with the right user behind the controls. The Mantis is not too weak, but it is penetrable with many weapons. Obviously the Plasma Pistol can halt it for a few moments, 7 sniper bullets will take it down as well, but hey..If you waste 7 sniper ammo on trying to kill me (and perhaps even more due to the mantis pulling back for shield recharge or maybe missing a few shots) then go for it buddy! The Mantis has the ability to use 3 types of attacks: Single Rocket launches, Charged up multi-shot rocket attack and the right handed mini-gun. These two weapons are great if not just for killing, but creating a diversion as well. This vehicle is fairly new and the only thing I wish I could change about it is the ability to have a Jet Pack for jumping abilities. That would be SWEET.

 

That is all for right now guys, this was just a little piece of my mind thus far! I will update this thread as I come up with new additions to each vehicle. Tell me what you all think of each vehicle, which is your favorite, which vehicle is Over Powered in your opinion or Which vehicle you could live without ever seeing again!
